[TMBJon]

Nice! Looking forward to hearing it, Tony.

[Big Spoon]

That's awesome news, Tony! You have to let us know when it's released!

[Wizzerkat]

Ooh, looking forward to it! Definitely let us know when it's ready for prime time.

I'll post a WOWAY-exclusive link to a free download when it's done.

Yes, you can still order dvds. Dave was kind enough to archive the AL FEST pages on his own website. You can get to them here:

A link for ordering the dvds is right there on the home page.

Looking forward to that song, Tony.

What does the DVD have on it? Did someone just video tape the whole thing from start to finish and put it on there? If so, that'd be pretty cool.

Were any rare video clips shown at Alfest like at the Alcons?

I shot and edited this video with additional camerawork by Bill Benz, Kristine Slipson, and Greg Method. I happen to have a degree in Cinema Production, so you may find that this video has a professional quality to it.
The DVD is actually two discs. The first includes full concert performances by Rubén's band, Valtierra Latin Orchestra, as well as a Hawaiian slack key performance by Jim Kimo West. It also features the entire UHF 20th Anniversary panel with Victoria Jackson, Gedde Watanabe, Dave Bowe, and Jay Levey, moderated by Dr Demento. All three of these events were shot with multiple camera angles and the video cuts back and forth much the same way a "professionally edited" video might appear.
The second disc is more of a highlights reel. It includes the talent showcase, trivia contest, comedy musicians, UHF shadow cast, Dr. Demento's introduction, and Bermuda's presentation. Believe me when I say it includes everything you'd want to see of these events, though only one song was included by each comedy musician. The second disc also includes the AAA Channel's report on the Al Fest event.
There is also an Easter Egg on the DVD set somewhere, which even Vikki didn't know about until just now when she read this sentence.

Spill it, Jon!

What did Bermuda's presentation have in it?

Easter egg, huh? Hmm. . . intriguing. . .

[TMBJon]

As soon as I confirm that ten more copies of this DVD are sold, I will spill on the Easter Egg. Everyone go buy more!
