It was only 2 and a half short weeks before Ian and I were discussing "construx bizness" and we pinpointed the date of Aug. 4th as the day our site took it's first little baby steps into the internet. We bounced around all kinds of ideas, and shockingly we did most of what we planned to do.

We did "celebrate with cellophane", we did our In Memoriam video where I died, Ian did one of the most insane pieces of music I have ever heard, and a job analysis critiquing each others performance doing the site. The only thing we didn't get accomplished was the 10 second video of congratulations from someone we admire. We knew it was a long shot, that our stupid little slice of the web wouldn't command any attention from anyone we held in high esteem.

After some encouraging words, Ian took on the tedious task of compiling a list of people we admire and went on the impossible journey to find and contact all of them via email. Ian got very discouraged with the level of difficulty that came with contacting our favorite people in the world. To his credit he did the job really well, but was left unfulfilled and deflated.



Now without straying far from the point, we both wondered why such the disinterest in anyone doing a small video. Was it a matter of losing perspective? Were we asking too much? We also mistook alot of empty responses as arrogance, as our discouragement grew as the days went by. Deep down inside we knew it was improbable to get anyone to do anything for us, and we moved on.
