At the Northern Voice Tiki party, Scott Leslie wowed us (well I was wowed) with his rendition of a poem only geeks could grok, called “Trackback Love”. I grabbed some video with my little Canon Powershot- the lighting is awful but the audio is not bad.
Trackback Love (3.4 Mb Quicktime 1:42)
OMG, that had me ROTFL and brought me to tears. BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Muahahaha! Hysterical! Thanks for sharing. =)
Very very funny!!! Thanks for posting.
*clap*clap* The more I hear about NV the more fascinated I become with the lot of you all.
Haha, I was there, and I can honestly say that that was one of the first poems I truly enjoyed! Geek culture rocks!
I was definitely wowed, this was a Scott Leslie classic. I think “trackback love” was hysterical, and it needs to be noted that Scott quickly had a restless room (a result of all the god awful poetry that came before it) eating from his hand given a masterful delivery.
“…Show up in the same side bars…”
awesome.
OK, wow, this is glorious.
What a lesson: always, always, always have your camera-with-video with you.
This clip not only is, but *should be*, a persistent resource.
Scott, Ingenious. Me, Gobsmacked.
Thanks all, that was tons of fun and the least I could do to make some contribution to NV ’08. For anyone who cares, here is the original text http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dkb4f2k_35fps2g7gs
6 months later and it still makes me laugh. I’m so glad you recorded this!
@Jen: Hee- and I am glad someone still peeks back at old posts! Credit of course goes to Scott’s creativity. Great NV08 memories….
