Skating Cowboys?

[icarus]

Hello? lizardspots? Anyone?

I'm looking for a copy of the Skating Cowboys video. Because I have in my hot little hands, for one week only:

- a first class laptop with XP that runs videos beautifully, though I'm still on dial-up so can't stream them

- a pile of SGA CDs that thegrrrl2002 sent many moons ago which WG and I are gratefully devouring (thank you Grrrl!)

- a mic (yay Veni!) to record stories

- another part to Out Of Bounds, sketched out at lunch today on the first day back at school

- and a burning desire to see more skating videos. But I have to download them or have them on CD.

Is anyone able to upload to YSI a copy of the skating cowboys? And any other skating videos you might happen to have lying around? Pretty please? I'm prepared to bribe you.

I am still on dial up, so if something's an hour long, it takes me three hours to download it. Do you think I'd be able to d/l something as long as their movies?

It would take you a few years to download them, but luckily, I can't upload them. I'd have to burn them to DVD and post them. If you want Traders, it's 13 DVDs, if you don't, it's eight DVDs. Each DVD is full of AVI format files, so I can fit about six movies per DVD. They are not VOP format. VOP plays on standard DVD players, but only some DVD players (such as the Pioneer DVD383) will play avi or divx format files. I recommend that, by the way, great little machine. Anyway, if you want them, I can do you a set and post them off.

That is so generous of you. Are you sure it's no trouble? That sounds like a lot of work.

It's enough work & expense that I didn't end up responding to your friends who asked me ;D I almost did, but then I thought, buggrit, coz I'm lazy. But no, you've been on my friends list for yonks and it only takes about a couple of hours as I have a new and really fast DVD burner. In fact, it's my new toy! Weeee look at it go!

I have about 90% of whatever David Hewlett has been in, and 99% of Joe Flanigan's stuff (at least according to IMDB). I do have some things in VOP format that I haven't worked out how to convert into AVI, yet, but I'm working on it. Nearly everything else I can copy.

So yeah, if you let me have a postal address (I don't care if you use a friend's or work address or whatever if you're worried I'll go insane and start stalking you or send you a dog poop in the post or whatever) I can send you a set of disks. International postage takes about two weeks, btw.

Done.

I'll schedule my next borrowing of this laptop in a few weeks then. And, rabid fan of David Hewlett that I am (I fully intend to stalk him if he shows at the Vancouver Stargate con ;) I would love the Trader's Episodes.

I will reply in a screened comment with my address.

As for my friends, if I ever have the equipment to do so, I'll rip and upload YSI files.

If they friend me and send feedback, I dare say I'd make copies for them, too. I'm easy like that.

I'll make your set this weekend.
