The Videotapes

[jducoeur]

Okay, now that we're back from vacation, it's time to give away the videotapes that I offered a week or so ago. Here's where I'm currently planning on giving things. Everyone, please get in touch with me so we can figure out delivery. Note that no one has asked for the partial collection of Star Trek: The Original Series or (surprisingly) the full set of Buffy; those will be getting dumped if no one asks for them soon, so speak up if you want them.

goldsquare gets The Prisoner and Firefly.

mermaidlady gets first dibs on Carnevale. She should pass it to alexx_kay once she's done; he should pass it to bleemoo, and then probably back to us to get it to alethea_eastrid.

bleemoo gets ST:TNG. (Sorry, dagonell, but that's by far the largest collection, and it's easier to give it to someone local.)

However, dagonell gets The Avengers. You should send me your postal address for shipping that.

aquamonkey gets first dibs on Babylon 5. That doesn't include Season 1 -- I can loan you that when you're ready to watch it, provided you promise to take good care of it. Once you're done, I encourage you to loan/give them to goldsquare.

alethea_eastrid gets Angel. You and msmemory should talk about which event is going to be convenient for delivering those.

Hopefully all of the tapes are in decent condition; most of them haven't been watched in a fair number of years, so I can't be certain, but I suspect they're all in at least viewable shape. I'll put together indexes of what's on each tape, for the recipients...

Sounds good, but at some point someone should tell me who bleemoo actually is in meatspace. I infer it's someone local, and probably even someone I know, but I can't actually make an ID with the info I've got...

[bleemoo.livejournal.com]

If that is you, I don't think I've ever actually met you. Despite jducoeur, tpau and learnedax's encouragement (among other people), I've stayed away from the SCA. I am involved with Intercon, and am an alumnus of Brandeis class of 2002. Or 2004, depending on how you look at it.

My user pic is, indeed, a fairly good likeness. I'm presuming yours isn't :-)

Well, now we have an excuse to meet at some point...

[jducoeur]

If the two of you have met anywhere, it would probably be Arisia. But I'm suspecting that you simply haven't crossed paths yet...

Thank you. Let me know when I should get them?

What's your e-mail?

[dagonell.livejournal.com]

And I'll send you the address. I don't like posting it publically.
And toss in as many TOS as will fit in the box. I'll spring for shipping.
Just don't tell Cigfran I'm bringing more junk into the house.

[jducoeur]

Anything at waks dot org will get to me...

[bleemoo.livejournal.com]

remind me... how many tapes is TNG?

[bleemoo.livejournal.com]

Still waiting on the episode list for TNG. I'm not sure if the tapes are supposed to be numbered seqeuntially; if so, we're missing some.

[jducoeur]

Oh, right -- thanks for the reminder. I'll put that together and mail it to you.

The tapes are sequential, but they're not all Trek -- the numbering is from our global inventory, which covers a good 1100 videotapes by now. (This is why we're trying to get rid of the ones we don't need any more.) So gaps are to be expected: we were taping a few other things during the same years Next Gen was running...
