----Rachel People????---- What's up with her set tonight???-----

[1corona4u]

The lighting or camera looks like shit! Too much contrast and orange!! WTF??

[Coexist]

1. it looks like she's transmitting from her basement.

whats up with that?

[supernova]

2. She's in upstate NY

dunno why

[madfloridian]

3. She's in NY, Ithaca.

She was there for her radio show as well.

[1corona4u]

14. What's in Ithaca?

Why would she be there? Any idea?

[Cassandra]

18. Maybe on the way to western MA...

where she spends her weekends.

[Muttocracy]

31. that would be about 8 hours out of the way :) nt

[madfloridian]

22. On the radio she had a crowd of people who kept applauding.

Sounded that way to me. Maybe at a university or something. I missed that.

[mamalone]

25. WEll... Cornell is in Ithaca..

I'm really close to there.. wish I coulda gone to see her.

[Muttocracy]

30. me too - was bummed I couldn't make it. nt

[mamalone]

37. Oh, you are a Joe fan too!!

I could just sense it somehow... I kinda have a sixth sense about that kinda stuff, ya know;)

[Muttocracy]

33. nope, State Theatre, fantastic old theatre in downtown Ithaca. nt

[Muttocracy]

32. one of the few Air America stations in upstate NY? One of the most gay-friendly cities in U.S.? nt

[NorthAmerican]

4. She is in front of a green screen.

[1corona4u]

5. Now the audio is going in and out....frequently...

WTF?

[Ediacara]

9. I thought that was just my TV

:-P

[1corona4u]

11. Ok, they just said she was having tech difficulty...

so yeah, I guess she's not in the studio...

[skorpo]

6. She did her radio show today with a live audience...

Not sure where but I think a college. Also sound is funny on the broadcast with a funny tone in background.
Maybe she's at a remote location of some sort.

[RepublicanElephant]

7. get karl rove away from the volume control! n/t

.

[nc4bo]

8. DAMMIT. nt

[BlueIdaho]

10. Chromakey

She's not in the studio - they have her in front of a chromakey background and are electronically "dropping" the set in behind her. It looks phony as hell and they would be much better off showing her where she really is.

[NJGeek]

12. is there something wrong with the sound?

it keeps cutting out

[abbiehoff]

13. Now they've cut her off completely.

[jillan]

15. dammit !

:(

[1corona4u]

16. They just said tech difficulty...

[DeschutesRiver]

17. I thought she had her makeup re-done - like new eyeshadow too

and they just said they are fixing her audio, and took a break while they are doing it.

Maybe it is just lighting, but her face looks "done" now, not like usual.

[nc4bo]

26. I think it's the studio lighting being off - Newsweek dude looks weird too. nt

[hisownpetard]

28. Yes. On another thread, I mentioned the fact that she didn't look well, and then added that

I think she must've had someone new do her make-up and they over-did it.

I'm relieved, 'cause when I first saw her I thought she wasn't well.

Her new show is fantastic! Go, Rachel!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

19. There was a loud humming sound on the feed, after which the sound started cutting out

Too bad about the technical problems. She was just getting to the story about Todd Palin and the subpoenas in Alaska.

[RepublicanElephant]

20. that's okay. it's friday and there's a killer hurricane.

rachel's troopergate will be best served monday!

[1corona4u]

21. Yeah, just kind of funny that they can broadcast from the center of a HURRICANE,

but can't get it together to broadcast from a city in the SAME state. :eyes:

[Muttocracy]

38. Big city folks wouldn't really consider Ithaca a city anyway :)

[JustAnotherGen]

23. Cornell, Ithaca State, Empire State are there

n/t

[Berry Cool]

27. "Ithaca State"?

There is no "Ithaca State."

There is an Ithaca College, which is where I would bet she's broadcasting from. Has a huge TV-radio program.

[JustAnotherGen]

29. You mean

Like a broadcasting program? :-)

[JustAnotherGen]

34. Why does she have

The Rochester sky line in back of her? That's a wierd set. Roch is a good hour and a half away . . . The Changing Scenes, Kodak, Xerox, B & L.

[RamboLiberal]

39. Because she was broadcasting from Rochester

Shuster said they were having technical difficulties with her broadcast from Rochester.

[Berry Cool]

35. That would be it, yeah!

But I'd actually expect them to be a little more on the ball than this. Rachel is rattled, too. She introduced herself after these last ads as being on Air America Radio rather than on MSNBC!

[Muttocracy]

36. Actually she's at State Theater, but Park School at IC probably went down the hill to see her :) nt

[geekgrrl]

24. She's back!!!!! nt
