As many of you know, once the summer ends I will no longer be able to host Phandom Fridays. I will be passing on the responsibility of hosting these streams to two lovely individuals (and I’ll announce who they are once we get closer to the end of the summer), so the streams will continue, they will just continue without me.
Streams are how I made my friends in this phandom. Hell, they’re how I got in this phandom. I had a blog, I was in Discord, but I was shy and awkward and felt so clueless, like I knew nothing about Phantom and nothing about the phandom. Streams were an opportunity for me to meet and talk to people (and were somehow a little less nerve wracking than talking in Discord, I guess because I always had something to talk about: what was happening in the bootleg or movie we were watching.) and they were also a way for me to learn more about Phantom with people that loved it just as much as I did. So, streams are really special to me, and this last stream that I will be hosting is very, very special to me. I’ll be hosting an all day event on Sunday, August 19th (yes, I know, that’s not Friday, but more people are free on Sundays) showing the “best of” bootlegs - all the bootlegs you guys raved about and loved, as well as an hour dedicated to some goofy things as requested by quite a few of you (*cough* @wheel-of-fish *cough*). I’ve come up with a rough schedule of what time I’ll be showing each bootleg. Note: this schedule is according to Eastern Standard Time. Here it is:
2:00 PM: the 2004 film, since it’s the reason that so many of you are in the phandom today.
4:30 PM: Norm Lewis and Sierra Boggess (it was recorded on his first night!)
6:30 PM: David Shannon and Gina Beck
8:00 PM: Laird Mackintosh and Kaley Ann Voorhees
10:30 PM: an hour dedicated to goofing off - watching the particularly awful parts of “stubble Phantom” as @glassprism calls him, watching Uwe Kroger's Final Lair slowed down, and if we have extra time, watching some of Ali Ewoldt’s Dear Daae vlogs and other fun things
11:30 PM: the 25th anniversary performance
I don’t expect people to come all day or even come for half of it, that’s why I came up with the schedule, so you guys can come and go as you please. But I do hope that if you’re able to be there for the final showing of the 25th at the end, you will be. I just really want to watch that with you guys. It’ll be the perfect way to end these streams <3
Oh, and since Friday, August 17th was supposed to be the final stream, I still have the 25th scheduled - if anyone has any requests for something else you’d like me to stream that night, feel free to send me a message! Just check the schedule first and make sure I’m not already streaming it before then.
Feel free to like to bookmark and please do reblog to spread the word <3 and remember, although this last stream is a celebration of Phandom Fridays and all the wonderful times we’ve had together, newcomers are absolutely welcome at this stream!! This is the one time it’s okay to crash someone’s going away party ;)
