Posted: Oct 01, 2003 12:36 pm Post subject: Sfumato Disaster - $%^# VCR's! |
|
|
Before heading to work yesterday morning, I had my daily dose of Sfumato while eating breakfast. I turned the TV and VCR off and walked out of the door for a lovely day at work.
Later on during the day, I was talking with my wife on the phone and she told me that the electricity went out at home and that the VCR would not come back on. I was originally worried about my computers until I remembered that I watched Sfumato that morning and that it was still in the VCR. When I got home, I played with it for a while and it basically came down to the fact that the VCR was fried. I then began taking it apart, litterally breaking pieces off so that I could get the tape out. If you have never seen the inside of a VCR, then I can tell you that a lot of tape is strung all through the machine and it is amazing that your tapes aren't eaten up most of the time.
So when I finally got all the pieces off that were preventing the tape from slipping out, I pulled the whole cassette out of the VCR and began winding the tape back into it. I was almost crying at this point. I immediately stuck it into another VCR and sure enough, the tape was jacked up. Some of it played, but most of it was just a blank screen and the music didn't sound right. My copy of Sfumato (only a few days old) is officially dead.
Luckily, I also received an email from Cassette earlier that day and was told that I should be receiving the DVD soon. If I don't get it soon, I'm goig to order it anyway. That video is so bad ass! |

wow dave, this story is kind of funny, but that's because I'm a jerk. seriously though, I'm sorry to hear that. But once you receive the dvd,you'll enjoy it to its fullest. I've watched sfumato every day since I received it (despite my busy schedule--I usually watch it when I do my pt stuff because it's all inspiring and what not.) ANyway, I'm sure things will turn around for you! _________________ *The opinions expressed are on my behalf and not those of wakeskating.com* |

No quality surge protectors for your home entertainment system? Better go out and get yourself a Monster Cable HTS .
When you get the DVD rewatch Danny's section and let me know if I'm seeing things right, but did he do a 180 varial kickflip near the end of his section? (Or whatever it's called, what's a varial kickflip with a frontside body varial?) |

It's near the very end of his section. I had my perception messed up, thought he was riding regular for some reason.
