Beating Deadlines

It's a good thing that the month of July contains 31 days. We probably wouldn't have made our required once-a-month quota of video submissions if it didn't. And today's offering - though far from memorable - arrives on the NRP blogerama with just minutes to spare before the deadline.

And that's really the only reason we've hoisted up this old salute to the back yard bbq anyway - just to fulfill our crazy mandate of a video a month. Who can hope to keep up a frantic pace like that, I ask you? But sure enough, if I didn't provide these bland flickering pictures on a timely basis, my viewers would be quick to complain.

High quality standards are not required here; people just want to see familiar faces and moving lights. All I can recall about the actual footage we're about to run is that it was shot in the summer of 1991. Back when there were still lots of kids around. A rather recent event when you compare it to our regular diet of mid '70s filler.
