Owlberg
'98 Silver, Bicho
always ready to thoroughly argue a point of interest, yet kindhearted and caring, owlberg phases in and out of the list as development cycles at work allow. he was one of the most valuable contributors to the r2k mythology.

Owl didn't make it to R2K, and his presence on the list has all but ended. However, a few weeks before R2K, I received this message from him:

"....recalling a recent moment (one of many NBAD moments), during an unusually sunny, warm day in Seattle, driving home from work, with the weight of the software industry on my shoulders, fretting that I would not make it to R2K, because of back-to-back projects, whine, whine, etc. Then I started looking beyond me, at the sun, the sky, the road... and I knew I had to go, no matter what.

....and in the dream, that moment changed to find me on the road to Roswell, with all my fellow pods around me, looking at the road, feeling the sun, marvelling at the sky, and then there was a sound, faint at first, then clearer... it was like a modern jig, funky but ancient, breezy but hip to the jive, and it moved in a fashion similar to the eyewitness descriptions of a ufo's flight path: up and down in a straight line, then zig, then zag... straight line, zig, then zag...

This was recorded between 3AM and 5AM today, one of the first true spasms of inspiration to hit me in many months. It is purely a demo, captured in the frenzy of the moment, just to get the moment down on disc. I do have a melody that would fit over this, but I don't know if I should write lyrics for it and sing it, or play it on some instrument.

I'm interested in your opinions, because you're my fave listies. Any event needs a theme song; here's what the muse told me to offer."

I hope he'll forgive me for making this public (i don't think he ever did); I think it's a really fantastic song as-is.
