Thanks!

Seriously though…Last night during recording (of course), my Powerbook G4 went to sleep. It’s been doing this for a few weeks now. Suddenly and with no warning, it randomly goes to sleep. To wake it up sometimes you close the screen and open it to a “normal” waking after an abnormal sleep, but other times (most times unfortunately) you have to remove the battery and power supply then try to turn it on, draining its power, and starting over through a full boot process.

If I was only using it for checking email and stuff, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but in the middle of recording for the site, it gets a little extra frustrating. When you check out The Love Story’s set in a few weeks, it will be spliced somewhere in the middle because of the shut down. Same thing happened with Lucero’s set.

I know these referral sites seem cheesy, but I have my iPod because of one of them. It really does work. Asking for 20 referrals from all of the people listening to theLiveCast now seems like a less daunting task than finding another $2500 to put into the project. So if you don’t mind helping out, follow the link and sign up for any of the ridiculous things they have on there. If you complete that I’ll get credit. 20 of you do it and I get a new laptop that won’t go to sleep cutting out precious recording time during a live set. They have all kinds of things you can sign up for from Blockbuster and Netflix memberships to credit card offers and learn-to-use-your-Windows95 disks.

As well as helping out the site, you could get yourself a free computer while you’re at it. Just bug all of your MySpace friends until you get 20. Thanks for the help and hopefully, we can get 20 signed up and get that laptop in the mail before the next session. If it ends up being who I think it is, none of us will want to miss any of that set.
