I'm friends with the band Made Out of Babies who are going on tour for the first time this week. There are some of my photos of the band on their photos page
I've been documenting their gigs here in NYC with some simple DVD movies I've made on my Powerbook, from footage I took with my Sony DCR-TRV70. This is a lot of fun(!), and I recently moved up to Final Cut Express when I started to find iMovie limiting.
I am still working on a first public release of some video footage, it takes time to get a useful amount of footage, and even longer for me to learn how to use it. In the meanwhile, however, here is a bit of related fun.
I've decided to try and catch a night of the tour also, so the current plan is to drive from Brooklyn, NY to Akron, Ohio this weekend to see them and film the gig.
If I can, I'll blog it here and there. Must practice...

Blockbuster still doesn't get it
If I rent a DVD from Blockbuster under their new much ballyhooed "no late fees" scheme, then if I happen to keep hold of the disc for a week (as I often do with Netflix, which I love) they will "automatically sell" me the disc.
Oh dear, sounds like a late fee to me.
If I want to own a DVD, it must be box fresh, I'm going to want artwork, both discs, vouchers etc. I want a disc that is fingerprint and scratch free.
