Chronicler Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Perhaps that's a good thing, Ilora--you missed the insanity of our waiting breathlessly for a few months for the air date. .

Cate Perfect Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 To the UK AVENites: I'm having several people tape it. I will have two copies transferred to PAL. I will be in England 13 January at which time I will give one copy to Karl and one to Peix. Contact them if you'd like them to post it to you after they've seen it. I will be posting at least one copy to Canada--to cijay. She will happily pass it on, I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites
VivreEstEsperer Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 That's awesome! oooh....i'll be at my grandparents in philly then. Hey! I have an idea ! How about all the Philly AVENites get together to watch it together? That would be nifty. Why am I always at my grandparents in philly when major asexual stuff goes on? i was there when new scientist came out too. ...my grandfather will consider my perspective....my grandma doesnt want to hear anything about it....makes it kind of awkward if someone wants to PM or email me too beforehand that would be niftykeen. i dont have a 2006 calendar yet either. :) Kate Link to post Share on other sites
kbrd143 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Eep. Up until the time I got an actual air date, I was able to pretend that the whole thing hadn't really happened. Maybe it still didn't happen. *hides under the bed with the purple bunny* Link to post Share on other sites
thylacine Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 If this goes on TV, then will friends, relatives, & co-workers stop trying to fix me up with losers? I won't need lame excuses anymore as to why I won't date the jerk they picked out for my future husband!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Cate Perfect Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 One hopes. They're going to have some doctors on the show, as well. Hopefully doctors who say asexuals can't be 'fixed' and should just be accepted. Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully doctors who say asexuals can't be 'fixed' and should just be accepted. *pokes head from underneath the bed* Yes. One hopes. The little speech I made at the very end was designed to speak directly to whatever experts they might have who are quick to label us as broken or closed-minded. I felt it important to point out that this site is not a plce where we get together and squick about sex; rather, it is a place that encourages personal exploration and acceptance of all kinds of activities. Of course, it would be very easy to leave that speech out. Or any one of the other speeches that any of us made, to be perfectly honest. I am not scared of all of this, per se; however, I am aware of the risk we took in agreeing to the interview. I do not want something that I said to hurt the overall cause of the board, and I know that the rest of you feel the same. Looking back on it, I think we covered just about everything we could in the course of the interview. We answered just about every argument that could be leveled against us. The question is will our words be placed in a context which flatters or flattens us? That is what concerns me. Link to post Share on other sites
Cate Perfect Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Well, the producer totally gets asexuality. She doesn't understand what other people problems with it could be. And she's the one setting the tone of the piece. Also, I know they were trying to get the scientist who did the study that came out with 2% of the population being asexual. So it sounds like they're trying to stack the odds in our favour. Amcan: no prob. :) Link to post Share on other sites

Peix Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I'll give my copy to PT/Yoda since I don't have a VHS player, contact him if you want him to send it to you once he's seen it. I might want to get hold of it myself at some point too when I actually get access to a VHS player from someone who I don't mind knowing what it is I want to see... Link to post Share on other sites

Cate Perfect Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Well, it's national TV and in the states that means pretty tame. We talked about everything. EVERYTHING. But in very sanitary terms. And it occurs to me that while I'm having the tape converted I can just have it put on DVD, as well. And several copies made. How about three Region 4 DVDs?

The Evil Cashew Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 i can dub VHS's i was toying with the idea of making a few copies and then sending them to poeple. this is all proving i have time. but i am willing to give it a shot if poeple are interested. ~Cashew Link to post Share on other sites
