Thanks littlestar. Some of my favorite parts are the background sounds throughout the video, like the parrot squawking when Pete Seeger is singing “Redwood Forests.”

Yes, the harmonica at the beginning is me playing. It’s an easy way to not have to worry about copyright infringement. I’m not sure what copyright law says regarding my use of the Big Lebowski video clips and the clip from Johnny Cash’s song. I probably don’t want to know…

I’m still in shock about Omar.

I loved hearing the camera operator (or someone nearby) giggling at the tiny dog with huge ears. And the twenty-odd guys with guitars doing “All My Loving” rocked!

And, talking of rocking – Mr. Host, you totally rule the harmonica! I’m now assuming the harmonica bit at the start of each video is you?

BUT SERIOUSLY GUYS!! WTF? OMAR??? OMG!!

Err. Tess? A homicidal clown? In your story? Good luck…

Thanks Tess. I’m not sure how I missed the white text on white background. You’re right that Rhae’s Challenge is to “Incorporate an Assassination Plot.” I’m not going to delete the video and upload another one, but I’ll make note of it in the text that precedes the video.

omg never mind you’re forgiven about being late host!! that video was too cool! but little star is right about omar. Seriously?? OMAR!? like that amazing sweetie dylan said “ciao brother!” i’ll miss you and cant wait till december!

blessing of the animals!? bless new york!

sixthfictionsixthfictionsixthfictionsixthfiction… yep little star it’s hard! but not as hard as fifthfictionfithfictionfithfiction… so looks like we’ll have to stay with fourth fiction after all!

one small problem with the video. you can’t read rhae’s challenge because it’s white on white. i can read “…sination plot” is it assassination plot?

i think i’m going to learn harmonica after watching this! lol

If the website changes to Sixth Night, that means this whole competition would have to be known thereafter as Sixth Fiction.

Sixth Fiction?

Try saying that ten times fast! (c:

You sure did, Jodi (it’s an inside joke, although it won’t be inside for much longer).

Tess, I admit, I’ve proven to be a Sixth Nighter. Once again apologies to all readers and writers for the delay. At least I can’t be accused of being sporadically late. Video is now being processed so I should be able to post it shortly.

Just checked the uploading status bar and realize that “shortly” isn’t the right word. It’s a long video. I’d say one hour tops and the video will be up.

I filmed and edited a small portion of footage over the weekend and was totally blown away by the time consuming task of editing and splicing together even a small amount of footage.

Nothing like writing in pressure cooker circumstances (I’m forever writing mine the night of the 10th!)
