We’re on track to have the next (and final, for a while) Macy’s Parade review online by Wednesday night. Jesus Christ, these things take forever to put together. This one in particular was more of a problem on the technical side — the videos aren’t of terrific quality, but the sound sync is way better than you saw in the first review. Initially, I was only going to do ‘86, but I bit the bullet and mixed highlights in from the ‘85 parade as well. Was hoping I’d have time to get to the 1989 parade, but you know, shit happens. I don’t think these are so unbelievably seasonal that I can’t do them in any month but November, so if there’s enough interest, maybe I’ll keep on going with them for the next few months. Not in December, though — that’s Christmas month, and Christmas month is going to be busy busy busy with the Triple Trouble Advent Calendar, and whatever holiday-themed articles I feel like throwing up.
Also, I received word from my print editor that this week’s columns need to be in ASAP, because I neglected to realize that, you know, their office might be closed on Thanksgiving. Doh. So, tonight will be spent tying up those loose ends before locking myself in a cage to write the eight-page parade review. I think I’m going to try to whip up a short article to tide over anyone who visits the site in the interim, so that should be up tonight. It’s about peanut butter. Very special peanut butter.
