The audio quality is surprisingly good - comes across well, and more than makes up for the purple/pink sky. :) Oh, and good call on the glasses. More on aesthetic grounds than anything else. :) :) This is absolutely terrific - the commentary on both videos is a great touch and really adds to it.

"I hope the &^%*ing skies open up and the lightning strikes their fawncy silver pipes," I vividly remember him saying. That didn't happen, but another form of lightning did strike.

I remember that day, too. 2nd prize seemed pretty crappy at the time [and especially the year following] but not bad in retrospect. First would've been better. I still have Gandy's tie, which I traded for after the results. He sold mine on eBay for big dollars. [not] Funny to see Alex Dickie stuff his jacket full of beer. Good to know he did that on your bus, too. Nice videos Mike. I remember that day, too. 2nd prize seemed pretty crappy at the time [and especially the year following] but not bad in retrospect.
