Bid to Vid!! Have a Lid. Go Walk Sid. Let Loose Your Id.

[sisabet]

So I wake up this morning and the first thing I did was hit the Vividcon Auction and things were already popping!

This isn't even pay week. I keep counseling myself with "What would kadymae do?" and *not* calling my credit union to see exactly how much I have in savings.

Yet.

And then I just got outbid for dualbunny. Oh - it is ON!

Another scary side effect of this auction is that I have a ton of vid ideas daily - mainly on the ride to work and most are lost (this is a good thing) in the caffiene daze of the morning.


Except today I have bids pending on people I could just tell, "Oh, I want this vid" and then they will make it and I gotta say: I am a bit drunk with power.


Also? What the world needs now is a Carnivale vid to "Will My Mother Know Me There" cause that is just sooooo messed up.

Go - see for yourself! Live a Life of Fantasy and Adventure!

sweetestdrain and I got the battle started for f1renze promptly at midnight EST last night....but then Killa and now Jo swooped in. I'll have to bide my time and wait for others to show their cards before I decide what to do. *sigh*

PS Happy birthday to your sister!

I am currently watching the Flo bidding from afar and tending my own bids this day. I'm like a farmer or something. The auction is so very fun.

[nerdanel.livejournal.com]

I think f1renze has made us into rodeo spectators. Or something.

Farmer is a good analogy as far as it goes, but it doesn't account for people who are already out of the running. Y'know? ;)

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Well - I see them as the Big Corporate Farms. See, I think us small-family-owned-farmers need to band together in a co-op of some sort so that we can compete. We'd just have to agree on an idea and all...

(Psst - have you heard "This Is Hardcore" by Pulp? Cause it is sooo S2-3 Angel about Buffy. Very, very obsessed and overwhelmed and needing to just leave because it will only get worse).

[nerdanel.livejournal.com]

Co-ops. Co-ops are good. Especially vid family-farming farming rodeo co-ops with sisabet. Are you actually serious? Because, actually, I'm all about bringing down the corporate giant Wal-Marts of the farming world.

I'll download that song this afternoon. Thanks so very much! :D

[nerdanel.livejournal.com]

dammit, not only did I insert twenty-five analogies too many into that sentence, I had about the same number of typos. Sorry!

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

Permataform is MINE!

YAY!

This is a 3 paycheck month, you know. And it's for Vividcon.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

ACK!!!! I had plans for her!

::looks for things to hock::

And yeah - it is for Vividcon. Also? She is soooo gonna freak.

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

I hope she likes Bond movies.

[xanphibian.livejournal.com]

*falls over laughing*

Is it, perchance, a Sean Connery/Roger Moore slash vid? *g*

[xanphibian.livejournal.com]

You stole her from me! *weeps*

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

But I have the vid of evil and I am sure she can do it!

[xanphibian.livejournal.com]

I have ten gazillion vid ideas that I've never had time to start and/or never had time to finish and/or got stuck after 1:39 and threw my hands up in the air and running around like a chicken who's lost her head. Vidding and I have a love/hate/adore/despise relationship.

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can sooooo relate to that. I'm afraid my Keanu Reeves vid idea to weird Al Yankovic's "Albuquerque" will never see the light of day.

[xanphibian.livejournal.com]

*snickers loudly*

And I thought my Spike/Dru vid to Blur's Song 2 was weird. And Spike/Buffy to Down in the Boondocks. (I was going through my Spuffy phase and thinking that Spike was being horribly discriminated against) Neither of which will ever see the light of day. *grin*

*spams all over Liz's journal*

[xanphibian.livejournal.com]

Pardon my slipping of tenses. I'm NOT a moron. Really.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

I don't even know if it will cause her to blink. You have to be REEAAALLLY evil for her to register that you are being evil, otherwise she just thinks you are "creative."

Like your creepy-as-hell Oz vid idea? She'd be down with it. She might find it heartwarming.

I am scared for her because she did throw down with Boni the other day. Except, if you try - I think you can be more evil than Boni. You have it in you - you are like Buffy and Evil is your gift. You just have to embrace it.

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

I'm not really evil. I'm just misunderstood.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Like Spike!

Except he really *was* evil.

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

Or like Bond villains.

Sighs over vid that is not to be.

[xanphibian.livejournal.com]

See icon.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah.

[xanphibian.livejournal.com]

*shocked face*

You want to pit George against me? Ha! Have a Kermit.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

The auction has officially turned into a Race for Most Eval.

Current music: Some Really Scary Ideas that Just Might Work! Muhahahahaha

Gee! Wonder what these could be! ;))

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

Don't wonder too loudly. You might just find out. Bidding is still open, you know.

I'm sooo excited about this! This year, darn it, I'm going to get somebody.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

This year, darn it, I'm going to get somebody.

I want to say you seem well on your way, but that's just the thing - this is only the first day! GAH. People are INSANE.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

ICON!!!

OMG - I COULD BUY YOU AND MAKE YOU VID DE LOVE OF KELSO AND FEZ!!!

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

BRING IT ON.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

It's been Brought!

[nerdanel.livejournal.com]

What happened to the coalition of dependent farmers working in peace and harmony? I see how it is!

:-P

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

It is like vidder-survivor... buh, buh -- KELSO AND FEZ!!!

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Their love is so Tight 70's Pants.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

As soon as I replied to you, you got outbidded.

DUDE - this is war.

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

Curses! Curses on Tiggy!!!!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

::fans flames::

Didn't she outbid you last year?

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

Nope. Miss Murchison out bid me on you and The Evil Boni outbid me on Lum. I guess Boni isn't that evil. If she hadn't, I would have made Lum vid the Statler Brothers.

I don't remember who else I tried to get.

catching up on some LJ entries I missed

[luminosity]

D00d! I'd totally vid the Statler Brothers. I've vidded Flowers on the Wall *in my head* for three different fandoms. :)

Re: catching up on some LJ entries I missed

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Was one of the subject's Spike? Cause I did that vid in my head as well.

Re: catching up on some LJ entries I missed

[luminosity]

Yeah! And he'd be, you know, countin' flowers on the wall. And stuff.

I mean, *the possibilities* of that song. You could go hysterically funny. You could go creepily ironic. You could make it all romantic. You could do a character study on *boredom*. You could do a fight vid. I mean, really!

And weirdly, "Night Train" is playing on my playlist as I type this, and I'm experiencing all sorts of musical detours.

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

Actually - I just checked my old e-mail messages. I outbid Tzikeh on you, then Kamil outbid me, then Miss Murchison trumped us all.

[svmadelyn.livejournal.com]

This is all so entertaining.

*watches, riveted*

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Isn't this the greatest? Thank you so much for pimping this over in your LJ, as well. You have so many potential bidders on your list that might not know about this otherwise. And vids! Made to Order!

You know that Lum's "O Emmanuel" vid was an auction vid product, right?

Also - just wait. This is really *early* on -- shit will fly as the week progresses and vidders will tremble as the Eval comes out to play.

::afraid::

[svmadelyn.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. I did know that Emmanuel was an auction bid, but I just forgot to mention that. I can work in a pimp for that vid *and* the auction at the same time. I like doubly useful pimpery links. (Can you tell I wouldn't be...adverse to more SV vids out there? *grins*)

Huh. Maybe I can post some of my more evil vidding ideas just to encourage creativity and thinking. I'll definitely pimp this again this week, with a little more oomph so that it maybe makes more of an impact on people scrolling past.

*thoughtful with evilness*

Man. These people are SO LUCKY I am POOR. But someday. Oh, someday.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Hey - I think your Six vid idea is very valid, I am just allergic to Tori Amos because I ODed on her post-college. But that song works for her and Gauis on a scary level.

[svmadelyn.livejournal.com]

Hee! I think the Six vid idea is perfectly valid as well! I don't consider that one to be one of the...evil ideas. All my super evil ideas are either Smallville or HP. Or Conner. I should mention something about how Pru would so be someone's bitch if they made her a Conner vid somehow. (I think they could just float scenes of the actors around with no cohesiveness to be seen and she'd still be incoherent with glee.) *coughs* I'm going to mention the Six vid every now and again though until someone takes it upon themselves to do it though. I keep seeing her waltzing past, touching that window on Caprica whenever I hear that song and mmm. The *shivers*.

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. Can I know the idea? I think Tori Amos is quite probably a goddess and actually LIKE Six.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

And you vid!!
