so it’s been a while since i’ve made a video. and not because i haven’t been up to some awesome stuff.. but because i’ve been up to *too* much awesome stuff. so this update is basically just a random update… random video and random events from my week. my week included lots of work on web design stuff (but that doesn’t make for very interesting video… so it’s not really represented here), saving a friend’s windows PC from a computer virus, the montly web414 meeting, and some video from indian summer festival down at milwaukee’s lakefront. live’s too short to be bored.. right?
i’m sure i’ve said it before.. but i’ll say it again. i do love this town. maybe it’s because we live almost half of our year bundled up in layers of clothing with hats, scarves, mittens and snow boots… staying inside where it’s warm… short days of sunlight.. (etc.) but summer in this town is always filled with fun stuff. this weekend is (as far as i know) the final ethnic summer festival at the summerfest grounds: indian summer. it will be fun.. it always is a fun time. and i love the fact that milwaukee does these festivals almost every weekend.
so far this summer we have attended (at those same festival grounds):
if you notice, me and jackie have attended every single ethnic festival on the lakefront festival grounds. also notice that in that list, the biggest summer festival here in milwaukee, summerfest, was *not* listed… nor was it attended. and this was by design. i remember the days when i really loved going to summerfest… and now i just get annoyed by the loud music and rowdy drunk crowds. maybe i’m getting old… but i’d rather not have to pay $15 to have overpriced beer spilled on me. (“get off my lawn!” ????? ?????????? ????? )
well look at that.. it’s 2:30am. when’d that sneak up on me? *shakes her cane at the air*
time for bed ???????
if you follow me and my life adventures, you’re probably familar with the terms “barcamp” and “podcamp”… but queercamp was a new idea, born of networking and idea sharing at a podcamp. after realizing how much of a “good idea” it was, plans went into gear to hold the first ever queercamp at bucketworks in milwaukee wisconsin. it was an amazing time. the most awesome people showed up for some great discussion and sessions on topics spanning the board. and yes.. there’s already talks of other queercamps. stay tuned.
in january, i had some people over at my house… but not just any people… people from all over the world were invited, some i had never even met before (in person, that is), others i had met once, or twice… but all of these people have become my closest friends via the internet. yes. the internet. and nearly 30 of them drove, flew, bussed, or train-ed it up here to milwaukee, in january, for a weekend long gathering. it was nothing short of amazing, and just about every moment was documented via some sort of new media. i hope to have another “angry camp tracy’s basement” again soon. ps. sorry it took me forever to get to editing this video together.. and it’s twice as long as all my other videos i’ve made so far… but i’ll just say that it’s a “special episode”
cold in my apartment. i’m wearing three pairs of socks and have two blankets on me, and i still can’t feel my toes. tomorrow i will definitely “shrink wrap” my windows with those plastic coverings heck.. i should just wrap my whole apartment in plastic… and put a fire pit in my room…
well anyways… i’m gonna go watch a movie in bed now.
