OK .. some basic information: because of a snowstorm that never materialized (thank you, weather "experts"), we changed the day of the show from Saturday, Feb 25th to Sunday, February 26th ... coincidentally, my birthday.
If you come here ... you can see the show live streamed. The show starts at 7:30, but I'm guessing my computer expert, Rich, will have a stream up and going to test things up during sound check, which is earlier.
Show time: 7:30 AST ... 6:30 EST .... 5:30 CST ... 4:30 Mountain Time ... and 3:30 Pacific Time ...
It'd be cool if some of yez arrived a bit early to check out the sound check and can give feedback like "Sounds great!" or "Your lips are moving but no sound!" or "Why are you replaying old Warner Bros cartoons?"
I sure hope this works ... it'd be cool to share with all y'all ...
It will work ... we will be broadcasting LIVE at 7:30 AST or 6:30 EST. But sure and come back to this page and tune in a bit early to watch this great event and first live broadcast EVER from The Dunk. :)

So glad this is streamed! I'll even clean off a second chair so Fred can watch, too! LOL

I am here, waiting for the awesomeness to commence... :0)
Posted by: Emma | February 26, 2012 at 04:46 PM
Geez Emma... scooch over a bit, wouldja? I'm squashed against the armrest! But hey, I brought popcorn, you want some? This is so exciting!
Posted by: shari | February 26, 2012 at 06:46 PM
Ooh hey there! I'd love some popcorn, thanks. I have crumpets for the English vibe - you're welcome to have some. They go well with popcorn... ish... ;0)
Posted by: Emma | February 26, 2012 at 06:54 PM
Popcorn! What a great idea. I'd ask for some of yours, but it would probably be a tad cool by the time it reached MB . . .
This is way more exciting than the red carpet stuff . . .

It's 10am in Sydney, Australia and I can barely keep my eyes open, but I've woken up to watch this after a big night.
Happy Birthday LingLing.. You're gonna ROCK! :)

No sound yet, am I doing something wrong? Will this be just audio, or also video? Looking forward to it, hope it works out.
Posted by: Jim | February 26, 2012 at 07:06 PM
Yeah who needs the Oscars when we have this? It's meant to be sound and video but nothing for me yet...
Posted by: Emma | February 26, 2012 at 07:09 PM
Charlotte and Sue are here and we are EXCITED! Let's get this party started! (I think it's supposed to be both, Jim)
Posted by: CKHilliker2 | February 26, 2012 at 07:10 PM
Thx Emma, nice to know I'm not the only one waiting...
Posted by: Jim | February 26, 2012 at 07:11 PM
And Charlotte and Sue, nice to meet you both! We'll have our own online party
Posted by: Jim | February 26, 2012 at 07:13 PM
Keep frantically checking I've got the whole time difference thing sorted out, but seems like it definitely is 23.30 GMT - Now just got to see if uni internet can handle the awesomeness! :D
Posted by: Katy | February 26, 2012 at 07:15 PM
Well, I've blown through the popcorn AND crumpets (thanks Emma!) now, so I guess it's time to break out the whiskey. Shall I pass the bottle? C'mon show!
Posted by: shari | February 26, 2012 at 07:17 PM
Can't find a link. What am I doing wrong???
Posted by: squirl | February 26, 2012 at 07:19 PM
Is this thing on?
Posted by: William | February 26, 2012 at 07:21 PM
No link, Squirly. I think it's just supposed to magically materialize from this page. Why do you think I broke out the whiskey?! ;)
Posted by: shari | February 26, 2012 at 07:21 PM
Nothing, Peg, I don't think any of us have got a live feed yet. Hi, Stumpy! Hope Uni interwebs hold up. And, Shari, Katy'll have a whiskey but I'll stick to tea... it's too sad when your own child can drink harder stuff than you! ;0)
Posted by: Emma | February 26, 2012 at 07:23 PM
Hi Sherri, didn't mean to leave you out...
Posted by: Jim | February 26, 2012 at 07:24 PM
I will just be patient then. Except for the whiskey, please that my way. ;-)
Posted by: squirl | February 26, 2012 at 07:25 PM
And Katy and shari and William... and sorry for getting your spelling wrong Sherrie... I've got four minutes to show time by my computer clock...
Posted by: Jim | February 26, 2012 at 07:26 PM
Hello to everyone! I'm glad that people are just drinking in the open. I was sneaking hooch from my flask.
Posted by: CKHilliker2 | February 26, 2012 at 07:26 PM
And squirt, pass the whiskey this way
Posted by: Jim | February 26, 2012 at 07:27 PM
I couldn't find a link on this blog site but after doing a search found it here:
http://www.livestream.com/nilsling
If it doesn't magically appear you might want to slide over there. I catch a bit of a sound check every once in awhile.

Buncha lushes.
Posted by: Bucky Four-Eyes | February 26, 2012 at 07:30 PM
Wait a minute... I just Googled "What time is it on Prince Edward Island" and it says 6:30. Nils says the show starts at 7:30, so.... maybe we are here quite early.
Posted by: CKHilliker2 | February 26, 2012 at 07:31 PM
Thanks Chuck

My screen just shows Offline.
Posted by: squirl | February 26, 2012 at 07:34 PM
We can't get anything ... is everybody getting it streamed already?
Posted by: Andrea | February 26, 2012 at 07:34 PM
Break a leg Nils.
Posted by: William | February 26, 2012 at 07:36 PM
When I first went to the Link I saw Nils and they were doing a quick check. ...then the screen went blank.
Posted by: William | February 26, 2012 at 07:37 PM
I'm seeing it as offline too but fingers crossed - and we can all chat in the channel. :0)
Posted by: Emma | February 26, 2012 at 07:38 PM
Nils is working on it if you haven't already headed to the channel: http://www.livestream.com/nilsling
Posted by: Emma | February 26, 2012 at 07:41 PM
Nils, we're all loving it. I imagine the chat will close when the live stream stops but we're having a great time over there and Rich is being great. He says we're awesome and we quite like him too since he's allowing the billions of us watching to join in with your night. :0)
Posted by: Emma | February 26, 2012 at 08:28 PM
Congrats, Nils! This is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing the experience with us. Wish I could have been there in person, but it has been really, really fun to watch it online. You should be very proud of yourself!!
Posted by: CKHilliker2 | February 26, 2012 at 08:30 PM
I don't actually have any whisky, Mum - just wine tonight :) But everyone else should totally have whisky!
And Nils, hopefully you'll see this later when you're less busy being awesome: I'm so happy you were able to share this with all of us, it's been brilliant so far :) I wish I could be there, but this is definitely the next best thing. And Happy Birthday!! :D xxx
