Just gone back through a few pages but I have noooo effort in me now, so this may have already been posted. Regarding Carlos lost in the desert; In episode 38 - Orange Grove Cecil mentions at the beginning that there's an orange with a key in that opens a specific old oak door in the desert (and Jonh Peters, you know, the imposter, really wanted it. So I'm wondering if this might provide the way for Carlos to get back to Night Vale.

Glad we braved the rain in London today! The theatre is really nice. Relatively chill crowd so far too.

I really liked the Meeting Minutes, one of the funniest nightvale episodes in along time.

Excellent show last night. The audience didn't seem notably different to other shows I've been to, perhaps a higher percentage of people having strident conversations about Firefly. Cecil came outside afterwards and spent more than half an hour in the damp and cold signing autographs and taking pictures. He is an absolute gentleman. Great night overall.

That show last night was stellar, very atmospheric. I love how they adapted it to the theatre. Was lovely to meet Cecil, but I was a bit sad that Fink & Cranor didn't come out as well, I would have loved to say hi. To the gentlemen wearing the (massively offensive) Indian Headdress, my compliments to you sir.

In regards to Doors, oak wood, and their shared old age I think after the events of Night Vale's battle with StrexCorp the old oak doors are now negated from reality. So I don't think that key is in play anymore since the doors themselves don't exist (as much as anything can not actually exist in Night Vale). The Impostor Peter's wanted it to open the doors and allow the smiling god through. But that's been dealt with. If Carlos is ever going to return to Night Vale (and I'm not sure how he can without invoking the same problem of him not belonging there) it won't be via any doors.

Even more spoilery, during last nights old show a single sided old oak door was mentioned. If Carlos doesn't belong, how does he, or any imposters such as Dr. Kayali or the carnival come to town? Or is it a matter of all imposters can no longer visit as they will be lynched by the townspeople?

I don't know if anyone is interested, but somebody found a new podcast called Kakos Industries that's in the format of the stock-holder updates for a company whose sole purpose is to propagate evil. I haven't listened to all of them yet, but so far it's pretty good (though be warned that the segments about the department of adult entertainment do get pretty loving disgusting). http://www.kakosindustries.com/

Hey. I have a couple of questions: 1) stopped listening around 40, what do I do, take it up from there or skip episodes or... 2) what do I do while listening to the show? I need to focus but sitting still and listening can get a bit dull. thanks

Then listen to them all again. 1: Seconded. 2: I typically do something that's specific to my hands, like knitting or sewing, as opposed to activities that use my brain like videogames. I listened to the first 10-15 episodes in a row while I was making props for a costume last year.

The entire reason podcasts exist is that having something to listen to makes loading the dishwasher tolerable.

I played a lot of Dwarf Fortress while listening (and relistening) to the archive. In general, any video game that you enioy, but which includes repetitive/dull aspects and which doesn't require constant attention (or can be easily paused), so you can focus on the podcast.

If you find it monotonous binge-ing episodes, I'd say listen to as many as you want/can handle. If you still need something else to listen to, I'd recommend other podcasts to mix things up. Two I'd recommend, Idle Thumbs and Serial. Idle Thumbs are a bunch of dudes who make games or work within the press, who sit and talk about games in an interesting and smart way (i.e. not just sitting around bitching and/or praising CoD. Rather they'd talk about a loose adaptation of 'Around the World in 80 Days', that's only on iOS because the fluid narratives is something unseen in games). Serial is a spin-off of This American Life dedicated to one story, week after week. It focuses on a trial where a young man was convicted on very circumstantial evidence. It takes a look at the evidence for and against him, the various parties involved, and the murder he was convicted of. While Idle Thumbs is best started at whatever the current episode and never looking back, Serial demands a start by listening to episode one and following it sequentially by episode number. That said, it is very good, to the point of being some people's obsession even though the ninth episode is released tomorrow.

I ended up binge listening to the entirety of Serial today, and its honestly one of the best bits of editorial reporting I've ever come across.

I listen to it in my bed with the lights off so I don't have any visual distractions. Driving at night is also good if you're on a quiet road.

Question - Did any one who went to the live show actually enjoy the unexpected half an hour of music at the start? One song was fun, 2 songs was ok, but I was getting seriously fed up after that.

One song was fun, 2 songs was ok, but I was getting seriously fed up after that. I didn't know it was going to happen and felt mildly annoyed, albeit not in a way I would have complained about in the official thread, through the first song and a half -- but then since it was Eliza Rickman I accepted it as an extra-long weather forecast and ended up quite enjoying it. In retrospect I'm happy I got the chance to hear her perform. (It was also a nice way to chill out from the adrenaline rush of entering a theater full of several times the noise and several hundred people more than I'd been expecting, but mileage will vary among those who don't respond to large shrieking crowds with a fight-or-flight reaction.)

There have been musical openers at every live Night Vale show since.. well pretty much since live Night Vale shows have been a thing. Why are you fed up about them?

If I recall correctly, the show time listed on the ticket was when the actual show started, and you just got music for 30 minutes before that. Sorry you don't like free music?

I would have been upset if all Ricman got was one song during the weather. I also bought a CD, got it signed, and got my picture taken with her after the show. Cause she owns. Sorry that you're lame, though.

If Andy Kaufman could have gotten away with a joke that went on for so long that it took over an entire network for years and years, he would have. (Something like that actually did happen and and it's still going; it's called Jerkcity.)

There's nothing overly long or Kaufmanian about having your musical guest who does the weather do a short (I want to say it was 4 or 5 songs) set before the show proper begins. Paying a musician to go on tour with you and then play one song a night would be pants on head retarded.

One other thing to keep in mind is these aren't big name musicians. They need exposure at this point in their career to promote their act. It's awesome that Night Vale supports independent musicians and Eliza Rickman owns bones.
