I've gotten several PMs requesting help with making CDs and/or DVDs from YouTube videos. The first step is downloading audio and/or video from YouTube. I've added instructions for one way of doing this in Reply #29 on the Tech Questions page at: www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=announcement&thread=992&page=2There are many other ways, i.e., software programs, for doing this task. If you have a favorite way, please add links and instructions to the Tech Questions page. |

OK... I didn't want to post this on dead thread, but also didn't want to 'clutter' up first page with mah ramblings either... so closes eyes, clicks ruby heels and...... posts.....
ps: scroll is your friend btw ;D
I really don’t know where to start here... it’s all a bit overwhelming really.
Three something years ago, after falling DTRH at ‘Mama’, I took a big deep breath and stepped ‘outside of my very insulated box’ (at the time) and made the massive decision to travel to New York, meet up with a boat load of strangers that I had come to ~know from the net and experience Adam and four GNT’s live. That’s was a whole nother story tho 
When I got back, I went OK that’s it - I’m done. That was AMAZEBALLS, a ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE thang, wouldn’t change a single bit of it, but I seriously just can’t flit off around the world to watch a singer, you know, sing. It doesn’t make sense right? - right???
So I got home in mid July of 2010 and just a few short weeks later, it was announced that Adam would be going to Australia - no mention of NZ at that time. ‘Fuck’ said I. And then I promptly booked all three OZ concerts, flights, hotels etc. It was only AFTER this that it was suddenly announced that Adam was coming to NZ - so yeah, you book that too. So now I had four concerts in four cities, in two countries over six days, plus two M&G’s. Once again.... so much awesome, I can’t even cope with how it all took place. Oooh, and I have the Sydney tongue dive to remember for evah - well hellz yeah  :wub:
I am officially, seriously, certifiably BSC at this stage!
And once again, I return home and go OMFG! what am I doing - seriously??? That is IT!!! I need my mental health (and bank balance) checked.
.......................................................................................................
Fast forward 2 years......lololololololololol
.......................................................................................................
It started with some wild tweets the night Sonishphere was fianlly, officially announced. The excitement was insane as we all started to go OMFG, I have to be there!!!! What a rollercoaster ride THAT little gem was.
Sonisphere got cancelled, Moscow got announced. And from there, it just grew *erm* organically.
It took vecadam and I pretty much five straight months to plan this ‘thing’. There have been months and months of pure increduality that we were doing it at all, let alone dealing with the process of actually booking every last minute detail of it ourselves. Our stress levels were through the roof and at times (UK hotel booking disaster) we honestly questioned ourselves and what the fuck we were doing. But, of course, by that stage we were in too deep. So when an extra concert - or country for that matter - got announced, we just stumbled along and bought tickets...lol
I mean hey, we were already going to Russia and we kinda, sorta had to fly over Poland to get back to London anyways - so yeah why not. I did a spreadsheet : ..lol... of both options and it only was like another $200 to add Poland in to the mix - so we just went with the universal flow of it all..haha
Okie dokie... it’s the 29th of June, 2012.
The BIG day has dawned.
@catzmadamok - off now for a few hours sleep. Must, must get up ridiculously early to finish shit off #exhausted #lastsleepbeforeEPIC
Why am I up at 5.00am doing dishes, washing and cleaning??? o__O Oh wait...... I’ve gotta go somewhere today *bounce, zzzzz*
Is my partner vecadam in our Queenbert Quest awake & ready to board the crazy plane??? *bounce, bounce, bounce*
Sitting at Auckland airport waiting 2 board flight 2 Hong Kong \0/ on our way 2 Moscow. Here we go… #queenbert FTW!!!
Let the Queenbert Quest begin *\o/*
Vecadam (Vesna) and I at Auckland airport before checking in for the first flight. Both of us were jubilant, but exhausted. This was some serious shit we were about to undertake.
This is our flight leaving NZ. For anyone interested, this coastline is where the movie The Piano, and Xena and Hercules TV series were all filmed. It is breathtaking.
Toasting our ~insanity
Making sure our iThingses were fully charged via international adaptors etc. Adam connection? Ummm... playing Angry Birds which is Finnish = Sauli = Adam ;D
Eleven hours and 40 minutes later we were in Hong Kong airport on a 4 hour layover.
Miles: 5,672 - Kilometers: 9,128
Catzmadam
WTF!! shops at HK airport are closed. Oh wait - it’s midnight here
So was wandering around HK airport and found these for Adam. They were purrfect and almost the right colours for Trespassing. The fact that they were locked up in a glass case and probably priceless doesn’t factor into it at all. Adam SHOULD have them! They were AWESOME.
And we’re off again. This flight is ten hours and 15 minutes.
Miles: 4,438 - Kilometers: 7,142
Just so y’all know...this has been a very looooooonnnnnnnng day.
MOSCOW!!!!! FIANLLY!!!!
So, we’ve arrived. I hurtle out of the terminal gasping for a ciggie ASAP and then we discover we can’t get back in without going through a security check. WTF? We still had stuff to do inside. What a drama, but we eventually got back in. And then we were off to the hotel.
@catzmadamhelloooooo…… Russia  ) Driving out of Moscow airport now with brand new unlimited data, local. 30 day sim card \o/
Lol..listening to Russian rock station #notAdamtho :(
