I have some video (with audio) of David Stone on the Today show this morning. The quality isn’t the greatest, but it’s not awful. I recorded the show, then shot it off my television with my Sony Mavica. Here’s the first one…a quick promo leading up to the story:

I’ll post more here as I get them done.

Here is the full one minute piece featuring David, broken up into 15 second clips. I did it this way to get the best quality I could.

Re: David Stone on “Today”
I haven’t been able to download all 4 yet, but, David, from the couple of clips I been able to download (dial-up service for you), very nice job.
Question: I assumed “Unatics” rhymed with “lunatics”, i.e. U-na-tics. My wife also pronounced it that way on the first attempt, but later thought that the host of the show who pronounced it, u-NAT-tics, might have thought it rhymed with “fanatics”.
So which is it?
Thanks and great publicity for unicycling.

thanks Art444Four,
on the preveiw i can see you just for a second in the reflection on your TV.nice octagonal mirrior:D
Way to go David. According to Warhol you’ve still got fourteen minutes left. You used the first one well. And you were better dressed than anyone on the show.
Re: David Stone on “Today”
Thanks! Our local station apparently ran out of time
and didn’t show the segment at all. Bastards!

My computer flaked out while playing one of these. It started going “Katie Couric…Couric…Couric…Couric…Couric…Couric…Couric…Couric…Couric…Couric”
Scary
Is anyone else having problems playing the 4th and 5th file? Looks like maybe the encoding got corrupted.
I was wondering if anyone would notice that :).
There is a problem with #4 & #5. The files on my computer play fine, but the uploaded files don’t. I tried uploading them a second time with no improvement. I’ll keep working on them.

OK…all five links should now work. Please let me know if there are any other problems. Here they are again:

That is a little scary. Here is a funny story to add to that. Her kid goes
to a hoity toity school (Dalton, where I used to teach). Apparent KC was
late to a show that the kid was in, and KC went a bit ballistic, as tho
they should have waited for her to arrive. I am unsure of any other
details. I have to say, she seemed perfectly nice to everyone today.

Re: David Stone on “Today”

Funny you should mention Warhol. I kept joking with people that I had 14
minutes and 15 seconds left. When I watched the tape later, I revised my
esitmate to 14:10. Don’t deny me those precious seconds, Harper!

Maybe it’s repaired by now, but I could view them no trouble.

David,
Don’t forget the 8.5 seconds for the promo spot in the first video clip.

Since they hadn’t said my name to that point, I didn’t count the 8.5
seconds of promo. By the way, in the business, we call that promo a
‘tease’ or ‘bump,’ thank you very much.

I went for a muni ride on Monday afternoon. It’s a somewhat nasty, rocky, rooty, messy, muddy trail. A biker on the trail mentioned that she had seen a unicyclist on the Today show. In her eyes I was a better unicyclist than David cause I was riding the trail and David was just doing tricks. I did tell her that David is a much better unicyclist than I am, but I don’t think she was convinced.

You were the better unicyclist. You were there in person.
