Live from Austin!

If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area and can spare some time Friday, Negativland need help moving several pallets of stuff up some stairs. Peter Conheim has a back injury, and Don is getting on a bit and can’t shift all the stuff himself.

If you can help, e-mail peter@negativland.com. They’re offering free CDs and stuff from their back catalog in return for assistance. Plus, you get to meet Peter and Don.

Packing follows the 90-90 rule. I had allowed for that. Unfortunately, it also follows Hofstadter’s Law, so we spend the entire weekend packing. Dan and Mark helped with things I couldn’t lift on my own. Afterwards, we bought them dinner, and took them home.

This morning, almost all of our worldly possessions were taken away on the truck, and a huge weight of worry was lifted from my shoulders. The stuff we still have with us (clothes, a few books, two laptops, iPod, etc) looks as if it’ll fit in the car with the rear seats folded down, possibly even without obstructing the rear view. (I love hatchbacks.)
