Haha... I say we all go to vlads house.

Sad thing is, what you see is only 1/2 of the video tape library I have... the other half is on the other side and just as big

Yeah... I say we take those, and build a house out of them.

Like the tire house!

Btw, what tape was that you messed up (on purpose I assume?) for the picture?

Heh, I must bow down before Vlad's massive stacks of cassettes. I must've come in a distant second; I only had one wall full of tapes (and I still have a few boxes in the basement).

Not to worry, it was a tape of Star Trek: The Next Generation

AMVs did indeed begin with the good ol' "two VCRs and a fast finger on the pause button". That's how Corn Pone Flicks' Matt Murray did it with some of his early works, like "Christmas at Ground Zero" and "Slime Creatures from Outer Space" both using Weird Al songs.

I had the benefit of using a professional VHS setup in college, but it was still all videotape--this is long before DVDs and broadband Internet connections could be considered as viable options, hell it was before the World Wide Web took off.

Back in '89 it was predominantly me, Matt Murray and a handful of others--at least in the Southeast.
