As if it wasn’t fun enough to try to record an entire double album in my bedroom in the middle of July over the course of a week and to then wave-edit and upload it in 24-hours, we are expecting guests to arrive at around two for hors deurves, including fresh hummus, veggie squares, a fruit platter, and homemade lemonade. Dinner will be served at eight, and will include sc(r)appels, pasta salad, jambalaya, and apple sangria. And, somewhere in between we’re having a concert.

Right. And i have yet to go to the bathroom since i woke up this morning. I’m sure i’ll manage to fit all that in. Meanwhile, yes, i know how fucking awesome Pet Rock Stars are, i am a twinge obsessed with Shannon and have sponsored them myself. However, let’s give proper credit where proper credit is due, i am the original Blogathon song-blogger, okay Metafilter?

Wow, it took me two whole hours to break out all the wires and gizmos to start recording new songs. Last year i think i got Lindsay out of bed just to record “Head Over Feet” before the ‘Thon even started. Anyhow, if we keep the one we just did you should be, uh… surprised. Maybe not pleasantly surprised, but, well… we’ll see.

I think that it is fair to say that the Blogathon has wholly taken over my life.

The first year my friends vaguely knew that i was going to spend an entire day staying awake in front of my computer, but not too much else. Year two i managed to whip my roommates into a frothy frenzy over the event, but most other people i know were still quizzical. However, this year, everyone knows… everyone. My being a part of the official Blogathon team certainly didn’t hurt. Yesterday at work i spent nearly an hour describing the event to the entire department. I have a catering committee set up to handle the people that will start to arrive this afternoon to join in on the action. I have two actual bands who donated songs to be used so that i can take a breather hour.

Somehow getting everyone else so frantic and excited about the event has allowed me to be calm. I woke up ten minutes before the start time, unalarmed, and recoded all of my PHP includes. No butterflies. Not even a touch. I have already proven that I can do this; this year we’re just going to see how much fun i can have while doing it.
