what a night

last night we FINALLY actually premiered Fun Boots!, and i still can't believe anything within the past 24 hours actually happened. Here's the basic breakdown:

Sunday, Jan. 18 "The Day Before"
10:53am: I am burning a copy of my parts i have done onto a DVD, and several problems with the playback, slight panic.
2:44pm: I go to keith's house and get his parts from him (Nick, Ben, Stu) so I can make the final dvd. Still no intro. Inform KL about the problems. Keith has to leave for work.
5:15pm: Burning a copy of ALL the parts (so sick!) with the teaser as our intro (lame.)
8:10pm: DVDs play great out of the laptop, but not so great out of a DVD player. It's decided we have two faulty dvd players... ?
9:10pm: LAZY MOOOOOOON is so fire
10:36pm: Working on a credits section and waiting around for rendering and what not. Dominate the pool table.

Monday, Jan. 19 "The Day of Dance, The Night of Gnar"
2:21pm (4 hrs 39 mins to premier): Keith walks in the front door like he is carrying salvation in his back pocket. What a hero. Glorious intro is added to the final DVD timeline as well as the credits section.
2:45pm: Cruise over to Frye's house to borrow some cables so we can play the movie through a laptop. Boss and Toby get wild and I get wrecked 4 times on their mini ramp in a course of 30 seconds.
3:35pm: Testing equipment, load up car.
5:08pm: Go rent screen before the shop closes.
5:38pm: Arrive and start set up at Semoran Skateway.
7:02pm: We arrive back at the house to find strobe lights, bassets, crazy people, and French dance music completely taking over. Decide to join in.
8:12pm: Departure for the skating rink. Never have I seen more Fun Boots! tanks on more crazy people before in my life.
8:35pm: Arrive at the skateway and do not take off my skates until after the movie is finished.
9:41pm: FUN BOOTS! BEGINS
9:44pm: Trav's part glitches out hahahaha but we fix it
10:12pm: Andy's part begins.
10:21pm: Andy's part ends.
10:40pm: My grandma made a Fun Boots! cake!!!
11:00pm: Everyone is out of the skateway and says their goodbyes
11:o1pm-now: party
