#1 – A point I can’t make strongly enough Hipsoda’s Caption Crack is an always on live capping site much like IS or CT! It’s not just one night a week any more. No, it’s not exactly how I’d build and run a caption site, and while I still have a parent’s pride in IS that leads me to believe IS was a little better, I’ve as yet to hear anybody publicly or privately point out any differences that would keep a happy IS capper from being happy there, and many of you have already made the adjustment. For those of you too maladjusted to enjoy either site, there is as always, glitter’s.

#2 – I appreciate the outpouring of memories, emotions, and pleas in response to IS’ closure and I’m afraid I’ll be unable to to individually respond. The last 26 hours or so of caps will be available for viewing for the next few days (note the “Next page…” link beneath the captions), as will everyone’s picks for the days’ favorites (yeah, it’s a huge page).

The big reunion’s coming real soon now. Starts when Friday does (on the east coast anyway, an hour or three ahead of it in the rest of the US of A) right in the gallery.

I’m still busy busy busy here, making new grabs, planning to expand the favorites page, and whatever the heck else I do around here.

Don’t forget to spread the word to any of your fellow old timers who might not have heard.

Loads of people are planning to show, including AAAron333, ABServo, Agent_Moldy, animebabe, Buffoon, chilwil, Datazoid1701, DoktorD, empressv, Enapov, flowbear, Generik, GersonK, GizM, Humoriste, JD1036, Jazzsoda and/or Hippie, JAUSTRALIS, Jiveguy5, jondapicam, JoeAnthrax, JoeCrow, Katze-Kitty, Mustang, NurseNoir, ragbot, rickubis, robofreak, Steve_Reeves, tinaw, Torgone, T-Rex, UnReality, UpSky2, WEIRD_1, Xigeous, and Zee.

Remember all those people you used to cap with back in the golden age of Caption This!? Are you one of those cappers we used to caption with at CT? Well, all day Friday July 20th you and or they are invited to cap like it’s 1999 here at Inventing Situations. Well, not like it was 1999 at IS, because there was no IS in ’99, more like it was ’99 at CT!, except you’ll have to do it at IS, since there is no CT any more. Except in our hearts, where it will live forever. If you know some cappers who’ve been hiding themselves, be sure to spread the word to them.

The gala’s going to start right around midnight (eastern) and we hope it’ll go until midnight or so. Like all day. Or even more. You can even help plan the schedule by requesting items via our catalog. And of course, there’ll be surprises thrown in during the gaps.

While we don’t have an official guest list, but names like Humoriste, JD1036, Jazzsoda and/or Hippie, jondapicam, JoeCrow, empressv, Mustang, Datazoid1701, ragbot, Steve_Reeves, chilwil, ABServo, flowbear, GersonK, rickubis, tinaw, Generik, GizM, UnReality, UpSky2, Zee, and WEIRD_1 are rumored to appear. And maybe the cappers behind the names too. If you plan on coming, why not leave a comment so your other friends will know when to expect you? Thanks to the folks at the Cappers egroup for inspiring this whole craziness. Keep circulating the tapes!

After sitting on these pics for far too long, I’m finally going to
give you good people a chance to cap your fellow cappers from our
capfest last month in NYC here, at Inventing Situations. And since I don’t have that many pics, I’m padding the occasion out with a showing of the film whose msting made Matteus come down and caused the gathering in the first place, Dial Comes to Town, then showing the pics another time for latecomers.
The times? Tuesday 4/17 3 PM Eastern and again Thursday 4/19 8 PM eastern.

And for you interested parties, writing on the next wiki msting, Rest
and Health starring Dick York, has begun. The writer’s audition is being clever enough to find the page.

And one more thing, if you haven’t visited Inveting Situations lately, on your next visit be sure to notice the new hopefully easier to read color scheme and nifty buzzword enabled auto-refresh gallery. It’s not just for lurker’s anymore. Though the lurker’s gallery is still available with this link.

Dial Comes to Town comes to town:

Another WikiMsting by the cappers at the capper wiki.

Thanks to all who participated! Thanks to all who participate in the next one.

Thanks to all who promote it.
