I attended a Dark Side of the Rainbow show in a theater this past Friday night, where a Rocky Horror shadow cast showed Wizard of Oz synced to the music of Dark Side of the Moon. Shadow cast means the actors act out in front of the movie screen, as they do for the popular Rocky Horror Picture Show performances. However, this theater group did not do any performing for this show. They simply played the film while playing the album on repeat. It was still a good show though, even though I had already tried the sync at home. It was a good experience sitting in a theater with hundreds of other Floydians watching this together, hearing everyone react to the syncs, just acting silly in general, and having a good time. (When the witch melts, DSotM is in the process of repeating so the theater got really quiet, so people started shouting out silly moans and "I'm melting!" It was pretty funny. :D )

So anyway, I was reading through the program, and lo and behold, PinkFloydOnline.com was quoted!!! Not only that, all the syncs listed on this site were used in the program. A friend of mine is friends with one of the members in the theater group that put on this show, so after the show, I met him and the one in charge of the whole show. I talked with them for awhile and pointed out I'm a moderator on the site. Bet he didn't expect a mod from this site to attend the show! LOL I also mentioned I run the chat room on the site, so he said he'd check it out too (so hang around the chat room if you want to meet this guy). He told me that over 700 people attended the show that night, far more than they expected! So we might see a slight increase in traffic here for a bit.

I thought some of you, especially PFOnline, would like to see the program that pertains to this site, so I went ahead and scanned it. (The pages I didn't scan are just advertisements so they're uninteresting.)

If you ever get a chance to see a show like this, definitely check it out! You never know who you may run into, haha. :laugh:

Great news, we were also mentioned in the Q/Mojo special as we were part of the voting remember. Also if you do a google serach just for the words "Pink Floyd", we usually turn up at the bottom of page 1, so at least the 10th most relavant site for Pink Floyd.

If only more of our visitors came to the board and joined.

Jintzey, that is so awesome! Thanks for scanning the pics too, that made my day!

Funny they misspelled my quote, hehe.

But still very cool, nonetheless!

Thanks again for posting that!

Cheers,

Yeah I was pretty excited when I saw that. We're all interconnected more than you think. :) I noticed I tend to meet alot of people like that at these PF events. Just make a point to talk to random people at these things and you usually end up pleasantly surprised. I always am. :)

I can send you some high resolution scans if you wish. I kept the ones above small to preserve bandwidth. Not that you can see any more detail on higher res scans, but if you wanted larger images or something.

That's O.K. those are great. I'm going to show 'em to my friends. :)

Haven't seen a big spike in traffic really, but I wonder if there's a way to look at the geographics and see if many from the Wichita area visited the site.

I'm gonna check that out now...

The geography may not be completely accurate since anyone who uses cable internet will trace to Atlanta (Cox Cable) and anyone who uses AOL will trace to Virginia. Not sure about other ISPs.
