The Fooies rock big time!

Saturday 03 May 2008 – highlights:
They started the show with Let it die.
They played for almost 3 hours.
Pat Smear was invited
A special guest guitarist performed the Ballad of the Beaconsfield miners with Dave Grohl.
Everlong started acoustic and solo by Dave, and the rest of the band joined at the end.
The crowd was full-on! I almost lost my voice cheering
They did all their classic songs, even Big Me.
Dave Grohl was really funny. It looks like he likes playing in Sydney.

After seeing what AIR is capable of I’m feeling sorry for Multidmedia Zinc.

I got really excited with AIR, though I have been using some apps, like twhirl… I’m actually writing this blog post with an AIR app, it’s an Adobe AIR Sample “Bee” on labs and it includes the source code.

** UPDATE **
I couldn’t manage to publish with BEE, I was getting a malformed XML error from the publish XML-RPC command. Anyway, the BEE App looks a quite good considering it’s a labs sample. I reckon mixing it up with buzzword would be awesome and also adding drag and drop functionality to publish images. I might look into the source code and give it a try.

Here’s a small video that I took with my mobile at the beginning of Danny’s preso (automatically converted from mobile .3gp to flv by flashCMS):

Thanks Joshua for pointing out the slides from the tour by Ben Forta.

It was a very fast paced game, they were defending quite well and we weren’t connecting. We had a lucky goal almost near the end of the match, and they managed to score on the last second.

Soundtrack of video is: The Offspring. The kids aren’t alright.
Video edition: I added each of our players names, and did a couple of slow-motions and repeats. And played a bit with the Flashback transition.
