Wed, 28 March 2007  For this show, I dug out all my audio from the
first Westfest. This stuff was taken before the little gathering even
had a name. My aim here is to let you in on what my experience was like
for the very first large gathering of DPN'ers which occurred at
Disneyland during the tail end of Summer 2006. You'll actually be along
with me via audio as I meet new friends for the very first time, take
crazy rides with crazy people, generally get to know strange Internet
people, and have a bunch of fun.
This is meant to be your Westfest primer as The DPN's first officially organized park event will be occurring this April. As the founder of The DPN, I'll share my personal thoughts and feelings of what I feel Westfest should be after experiencing many in park meets with A LOT of DPN'ers. Remember, your Westfest experience, if you are planning to attend, will help shape the event. Even if you are not attending, this show will give you the experience as well as I can provide it through the magic of audio and editing. We will also get to compare the first tiny Westfest with what promises to be a much larger and more significant gathering this year since everyone will be coming back from this year's event with much audio to share on their podcasts. Here are some features included in this show: -Burnt / Bitter Toast verbally abuses me -My first time meet with DPN'er JohnDUB -JohnDUB and I meet DPN'er Coco Wireless in the park just after he got off a plane which came from Disney World in Florida....he quickly goes over his experience after having not been to the park since 1989. A very interesting first time meet with someone new. -Myself, JohnDUB, and Coco Wireless take a VERY ODD ride on Indiana Jones as JohnDUB pulls the 101 cable over and over. -My first time meet with DPN'er MouseketeerGreg during Rope Drop - Greg and I then admire the life like AA ducks at the Pacific Wharf after a nice cold beer. Afterwards, we take a woozy ride on Mullhuland Madness. -Mike from Micecast and MouseketeerGreg turn into 8th graders and show me an oddly dirty feature of the Partners statue in the hub. I'm appalled and hate them for it. -Toast and I do a live Restroom Refurb Review in Fantasyland. OCD hand washing and offensive toilet flushes are heard. -Mike from Micecast takes me on a hot date on Autopia as we drive around like mad with a bunch of other DPN'ers. DPN'ers illegally bump on Autopia with no regard for safety. -I meet with Paul Barrie and crew and experience The Matterhorn with Calvin as the finale to Remember Dreams Come True goes off all around the mountain while we travel down it...very cool audio here. -The Drunken DPN Heimlich Chew Chew Train Ride - 11 DPN'ers fill a pirates boat at park close...just a clip from this as the ride thru is too long. This show has been rated PG. Remember, we are a bunch of adults meeting in the parks without family or kids so we promptly act like immature children. There are some very light hearted language and content moments. Comments[9] |
Fri, 16 March 2007 *Headphones* This week I introduce a new member / guest host of the Meandering Mouse podcast. DPN forum member Doug aka DisneyParkHopper has started to produce some excellent "virtual meandering" tours of the Tokyo Disney Resort just for the Meandering Mouse. This show will feature his first piece which takes you on an amazing sound tour through Tokyo Disneyland. You won't want to miss this one and headphones are a must!!I've also got a ride thru which I truly labored over. Mission Space is one tough attraction to record well but I finally nailed it while Q and I were on a zany space flight to nowhere. This has to be one of my favorite little pieces of audio that I've taken with my buddy Q. It took MANY tries to get this one sounding right. We had the entire space pod to ourselves which left us to carry on like mad while pushing buttons and flipping switches. Fasten your seatbelt. It's a wild ride!

Sat, 3 March 2007 The Meandering Mouse podcast and The Disney Podcast Network were conceived a year ago this Feb. It has been an interesting, challenging, and rewarding run so far. Most of all, it has been a lot of fun and has given me the opportunity to interact with so many new people in my life. Both projects have brought me great new friends. Something we all could use more of. Furthermore, being part of bringing so many other good people together has given me so many wonderful feelings. In short, that experience alone has been magical.This show is dedicated to all those people that make both The Meandering Mouse and The DPN a success: The listeners and other Disney podcasters out there. I simply asked people to send in audio clips with whatever content they saw fit. Whether it be a ride-thru made in the parks, a congratulatory remark made in honor of the podcast / network, or something completely goofy, it will be showcased here on this special show. I expect this show to be a long one based on the number of audio files sent to me. Kinda interesting....this show was produced while traveling across the entire country, a huge portion of The Pacific Ocean, and on two different islands which are the most isolated on Earth. The music I used / mixed together with all the segments in order to provide a smooth flow to the show was inspired / chosen by me after I toted my Ipod 37 miles up into an active volcanic crater. The 37 miles you travel to get to the summit of Haleakala in Maui is the greatest elevation gain in shortest distance that you can experience on Earth. I meandered up the mountain and 2.5 miles down into the crater by my lonesome on March 1st. I had my Ipod on the entire time and most of the tracks I experienced on that lonely but fascinating journey were used in my 1 yr anniversary show....inspired to say the least. I sat on the edge of a volcanic cone and stared at the clouds rolling in BELOW me for about an hour....just listening to music and pondering my tiny place in this world while all alone in that desolate, alien-like, but beautiful place. It really made me feel insignificant but, sometimes, you've got to blast down the walls of your ego in order to better yourself and discover your true place on this Earth.
