Video Blogging!

Our new laptop has a built-in camera that records video, so last night I had some fun recording some of the meet & greet event and getting a few folks to record video "Hellos" to the Hilbers who are with us in spirit while physically located elsewhere around the globe.

I'm pretty new to the whole video recording/editing thing here, so with luck this works out OK. First up, I'm going to try just putting links to the files I uploaded just now:

http://michellenephew.com/hilberreunion/reunion102.mov
http://michellenephew.com/hilberreunion/VideoPostcards1.mov

Those links are in order of size. The first one is 1.4 MB, the second is 3.2 MB, and the monstrous third one is 7.2 MB (and is really several clips stitched together into one video). All these videos have been downsized in size and quality for easier internet downloading, but I still have the high-resolution versions...possibly for making a future reunion memories DVD.)

Last Minute Reminders

Anne Nephew reports:

"For those new to this resort business, you must provide (reg size) sheets, towels soap, and special cooking items you may need.

"Another mention is that the monument for the Lucier family (Eva, Del, & Sylvan) should be in place by next Friday if anyone traveling through Fargo might want to stop. I called them and asked that it be finished!

"At the registration I thought I would have a sign up for a day in Fargo to visit the grave sites our parents & Lucier's (I can take six passengers) and visit Aunt Mitz if she is feeling well, and maybe Uncle Bert. We could also visit Bananzaville the history site in West Fargo if anyone is interested."

Log Cabin Open

Jodi Roman reports:

"I had reserved a log camper cabin at Maplewood state park for tuesday thru friday, no water or elect... to rustic for me and we have gotten a camper from relatives so I am going to cancel the cabin at the state park unless anyone else wants it. I will need to know by thursday night."
