Bump! Just making sure everyone has a chance to get in on the fun.

That, and I'm insatiably curious (as if that's something new) to hear everyone's voices. Even those that recorded previously.

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 January | 11:23

e-mail me the phone number to use and I'll make another one.

posted by jonmc 12 January | 11:27

Oo, you can do it by phone? I can do that.

E-mail me.

But what should I say?

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 12 January | 11:28

I've you're all set up with Audioblogger is phone number is 1-415-856-0205 ... or were you guys looking for login info too?

posted by danostuporstar 12 January | 11:31

Explain the whole process to me like I'm 5. And I'll do it. Once I figure out what to say.

So I just call that phone number and talk?

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 12 January | 11:32

For those who don't want to set up their own blogger account, I'd be happy to make another one and then merge it with the one that LeeJay started.

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 January | 11:33

I have the old login info. If we want them to go up on that site. I guess you can email me if you want it.

posted by dame 12 January | 11:33

Or Fris can make the new one? Just let me know. I'll be back in like five mins.

posted by dame 12 January | 11:34

No prob. Give a couple more minutes and I'll post info.

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 January | 11:37

I'll do it soon, I promise.

And I want to do a Metachat song too. I'm working on some lyrics. Can someone record me an acoustic guitar track of Such Great Heights that I can sing along to? Omiewise? Anyone?

posted by matildaben 12 January | 11:37

I just did a new one, but I basically babbled incoherently. Maybe I'll try again at lunch.

It dosen't seem to have posted yet though. Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, I used LeeJay's number and PIN from the original thread.

posted by jonmc 12 January | 11:41

Hold on guys. I have unintentionally broken into three other people's accounts trying to get in a unique number.

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 January | 11:50

Excellent, jon, since that's still active and blogger's fliping me the finger at that the moment, canyou repost LeeJay's info in this thread?

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 January | 11:54

Frisbee is TEH H4XX0R!!!111!!!

posted by matildaben 12 January | 11:55

Well, the number and pin worked ok on the phone, but I haven't seen the file anywhere on the audioblog of hers.

posted by jonmc 12 January | 11:56

I'm going to go have a celebatory lunch with three generations of women; when I get back I'll do a nice red wine inspired one. Did I mention that I have a new mecha crush? ;-)

Come to Chicago!

posted by me3dia 12 January | 12:03

How do I get in on this fun?

posted by TrishaLynn 12 January | 12:07

Anybody that wants to use my login/phone, can IM me as danostuporstar (aim or yahoo).

posted by danostuporstar 12 January | 12:11

email it to me, dano, plus a link to where I can find the files one I'm done.

posted by jonmc 12 January | 12:13

dano, I emailed you because I do not have this "IM"

posted by dame 12 January | 12:13

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 January | 12:14

posted by jonmc 12 January | 12:15

Here.

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 January | 12:17

I just recorded one, so hopefully it'll post.

posted by jonmc 12 January | 12:19

Good lord, jon, are you sending these via carrier pigeon, or what?

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 January | 12:27

I dunno. I follwed the directions.

posted by jonmc 12 January | 12:28

Yeah they usually post pretty fast...are you getting all the way to the 'press 2 to end this call' part?

posted by danostuporstar 12 January | 12:28

I just hung up when I was done talking. should i try again?

posted by jonmc 12 January | 12:30

Press # to end message, then follow prompts.

posted by danostuporstar 12 January | 12:30

OK, one more time...

posted by jonmc 12 January | 12:31

Please do, jon; I just re-recorded and it showed up pronto.

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 January | 12:32

Last time is charm, jon!

Success!

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 January | 12:42

Mine's coming tonight!

posted by shane 12 January | 12:56

Are we going to link all the other audioblogger posts on the blog linked above?

Looking up the old threads suck.

posted by SassHat 12 January | 13:29

I had no intention of taking over LeeJay's baby, so let me what she has to say and we'll go from there. Most of all, I wanted people who would rather not start a blog for the sole purpose of a one-off audioblog post to have an easy alternative. That said, I'm sure there's an elegant solution to getting everyone's recording in a one place.

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 January | 13:38

It would be nice to collate the recordings in the bunnywiki.

i'm trying to record another, er, recording, but i sound so silly. i wish i had a cool voice, like gnfti.

posted by flopsy 12 January | 13:55

Who will download them all and make a CD?
now that's meta(chat)merchandise.

posted by safetyfork 12 January | 14:48

That comment sat in the preview box forever. Honest.

posted by safetyfork 12 January | 14:49

Here I am reading part of the paper. Boring, but what the hell.

posted by mygothlaundry 12 January | 15:07

Shane - awesome!

flopsy - damn near everyone hates their voices. I've finally accepted the fact that I sound perpetually stoned, sans stoner giggle but, whatever, you know? That's exactly what makes this so much fun: hearing very real voices and if people bring their talent or silliness - or both - to the table, all the better. It's about personality not perfection.

Show us a little love, huh?

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 January | 15:32

Okay, I posted a dirty French poem. It's mostly for Matteo, so he can hear what a terrible accent I have. The transliteration is at the end.

*puts on australian accent*

Maybe the Frisbee ate your baby.

*goes back to real accent*

Is the ThePinkSuperhero a speed freak? Pretty awesome, yet scary.

posted by danostuporstar 13 January | 08:28

She's got zip, she's got zing!

You know how I thought I might forget....well....I forgot.

posted by safetyfork 13 January | 09:23

Pretty awesome, yet scary.
Thank you?
