We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop. You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens. Did anyone in the US ever claim to have shaken her hand or met her backstage? -- Thiago Girard "Marcus is not one man." 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) / TOS 4.04 From ndubois@pipeline.com Mon Aug 21 12:30:12 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!pipeline!ndubois From: ndubois@pipeline.com (Nadia Dubois) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: Live-Fidelity Broadcasts under the Public Harmony Acts - personal memories Message-ID: <1995Aug21.123012.2662@pipeline.com> Date: Mon, 21 Aug 1995 12:30:12 GMT References: <1995Aug20.052612.8970@cmu.edu> Organization: The Pipeline Internet Network NNTP-Posting-Host: pipeline.com X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 11 In article <1995Aug20.052612.8970@cmu.edu>, tgirard@cmu.edu (Thiago Girard) writes: > Thinking about how we used to gather around the TV for the monthly Orion Live-Fidelity Broadcasts. > We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium.
