Warper party wrapup

Last night's Warper party was an amazing experience. As usual, exaltron's fanbase was in full effect, ie, master drumborg Andy O'neill showed up and the rest of you losers couldn't make it. Don't worry, exaltron still loves you, but not as much as he loves the Warper people, especially the uber-organized, um, organizers, Shakey and Moldover. Special thanks to Shakey for lending me a power supply after I tripped over mine just before packing up my laptop and snapped the plug right off it.

Warper is a serious geekfest, so I was right at home. Not only did they have a projector so the audience could peep all the on-screen scientificals, there was a professional videographer, Vlad, there filming the performances and interviewing performers on their rigs and software (should be posted to his site in the next few days). He and I also discussed the possibility of collaborating on a "promuctional" (my coinage, but feel free to take a bite) video that we would try to get posted on the Ableton website*. Another possible collabo came up with Mike from trackteamaudio who produces self-installing CD-roms chocked full of patches, loops and other cool stuff for use with Live. Your favorite borg has been planning to post some free loopage on the homepage for a while now, but working with this guy could open up a lot more exposure than my spiderweb scheme likely would have.

Finally, file under Delicious Rumors from Planet Geekitron: a couple unnamed laptopoligists last night were discussing a cracked version of Live that allegedly works for a few months, then out of nowhere just up and dies. Apparently a somewhat successful laptop artist was caught with her pants down when "her" software decided to bite it just before a gig. Mmmmm, sweet, buttery comeuppance.
