Gonzo Liveblog 2: Last Sunday before Christmas

21 December 2008 in Internet, Sydney by Stilgherrian | 4 comments

I’m caving in to pressure. Following the success of my first experiment, Gonzo Twitter 1: Saturday Evening in Newtown, at 6.30pm or thereabouts I will liveblog from King Street, Newtown, or wherever the mood takes me on this fine Sunday evening.

Wow, that’s in just a few minutes! [Update 22 December: No, it was last night. But you can still see what happened in the CoveritLive tool immediately below the fold. The timestamps seem to be an hour early though.]

If you don’t see the CoveritLive thingy immediately above this sentence, you’re not using a compatible browser. That’s not my problem.

I’ll be watching Twitter for commentary, and may or may not respond to comments coming into the liveblog.

    Hmmm… I’m not as happy with this as I might have been. Unfocussed. Poorly paced. Could do better. To those who followed it live, thank you.

    I think the audience interaction disrupted the flow of your writing. Oh, and the lack of snark inspiring material (a gazillion lesbians and not much else aside)

    @Snarky Platypus: Absolutely. I had a lot of trouble getting into the observe-and-write flow when people came to talk to me — Dave the Happy Singer and his friends, ’Pong, others. And yes, I felt the need to read what people were saying in the online comments and respond. A dinner break doesn’t work either.

    Still, that’s what experiments are all about…

    I promise to ignore you totally in future.
