@musicgamer460 To be overly technical, it would stand outside as a film separate from the main series.

With its full title Spiral: From the Book of Saw, it is an acknowledgement that it is not part of the original Saw/Jigsaw line.

@stefanxgc Shoutout very much appreciated!

Hope to get back to that and clean it up at some point to make it more...readable.

And also get the latest blog post up SOON.

@BardicKnowledge @BlondeNerd @juliannegrasso @Musicologess @CooksterKC Just...one...more...week...

No matter how many times I try to correct myself, I still call it "Blue-Ski" because of the abbreviation.

Hit me up for my Blue-Ski handle. Will share soon.

@musicgamer460 Either a bootleg or a printing that just does mass runs for "older" shows and failed to update their printer.

Here is a comparison of the two first DVD printings. One of the notable features of the TB S1 is that it looked like the box was backwards.

[Andrew S. Powell @ASPMusicTheory]

@musicgamer460 Check out the copyright information -- it is for Dexter and Showtime. The outer box matches the size and shape of 1st edition Dexter prints also.

The case itself is much slimmer, as a usual True Blood 1st season is a thick cardboard, with the discs housed in a folding book.

@JDMcGlynn @seanjetravers Already on it.

@juliannegrasso This makes me feel some weird emotion for you all, as this was precisely what I shouted to the stream when seeing him...

@juliannegrasso Hey, they wanted a horror wail.

I simply provided a logical solution.

Maslanka would have approved...make what you will of that.

[Andrew S. Powell @ASPMusicTheory]

@juliannegrasso Might I recommend removing the mouthpiece, and doing a non-pitched squeal/wail with two fingers in the exit shank, shaking to create a very wide vibrato?

[Andrew S. Powell @ASPMusicTheory]

@juliannegrasso I got a Marie.

Even though earned through utter disdain, I feel seen and accepted within the Ludo community...

[Andrew S. Powell @ASPMusicTheory]

@juliannegrasso I heard Mi and Ti were getting married at AMSMT.

Open bar reception at a place called The Fifth.

No minors.

[Andrew S. Powell @ASPMusicTheory]

@barneypratt @SuperMGames Would you have a moment at some point during the conference for a brief chat?

[Andrew S. Powell @ASPMusicTheory]

@BardicKnowledge As a lifelong Lions fan, this is simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking...
