BTW, SAC: Get yourself on Twitter as well. Easy to set up so you post to both sites simultaneously, and you hit a wider audience and don't have to worry about who prefers what outlet. (Doesn't hurt, but not much need to bother with Google+ really.) Media outlets also turn to Twitter for trends, which makes for a wider spread of info.

Be warned: FB's become problematic for artists in recent months because your posts will only reach some of your fans, namely those who have recently interacted with your account. If you want all of your fans to get your post in their feed, regardless of their activity level, you have to pay to "Promote" those posts. Which has obviously resulted in a lot of pissed off artists and fans.

Be prepared on both FB and Twitter, though: You or one of your staff will need to moderate for spam and jerkwad comments and field for the inevitable loons and trolls. It's the nature of the beasts. Twitter's a little easier to just ignore any responses since they don't automatically show up in your feed for everyone to see, but you can't see the useful responses without seeing the useless ones as well, so the advantage is slight at best. Both have some maintenance to deal with.

but I do know that the joys definitely outweigh the miseries.

Uh oh!

I'm glad to know Stewart is going to step it up with his videos. I look forward to more.

One editing point: In the Prince of Cameroon video, there is a flipped image. Stewart wrote, "The movie was shot on Photo Booth (which is why it's backwards) and edited on Final Cut Pro."

Stewart, I'm not sure if you reversed the image on purpose. As you probably know, you can fix that.

You can reverse the image in FCP 7. Effects>Video Filters>Perspective>Flop.

[ladyhawke]

[luddite lady]

"...for all the children to enjoy..." Tee hee. I think that means us.
And what other rockstar aside from Stewart would use an expression like "in the fullness of time" to talk about the possibility of a tour?
Thanks for the link, DM. It's a pleasure to read.

A charity album would be fabulous!

Even better would be if it contained a DVD with better-resolution versions of the YouTube videos...

[BABA]

Thanks to everyone who passed along that link. Made my day.

Even if he's reading the phone book, Snoop Lion at the Sacred Grove is going to be earth-shattering!!!

[63falcon]

Cool, cool, cool, cool!!!!!!

And thank you Stewart, for a glimmer of possibility........I will make sure to 'friend' you on fb by the way-would love to see/hear some music-yippee!

Thanks, sockii, but I think this is where I get off the bus. Joining FB still looks like opening Pandora's box to this gal.

FB is indeed, if not full of, certainly home to some realcraziness...

i've left a couple of SC based groups on facebook recently due to the slanderous lies, bullying, attention seeking, self-regarding, childish and, possibly, genuinely unwell people / person whose turgid, deranged, untrue ramblings i thought would bother me less when i can't see them... turns out i was right. Downside is i miss the contact with others.
