SirDan3k posted:I kinda liked that the mayor also had a full body tattoo barely peaking out from her suit in that particular fan art. I can see it becoming a meme where people of import in night vale just end up with these odd full body tattoos that could be easily covered but always just peek out a little bit. I favor the notion that nobody in Night Vale gets tattoos, they were just born with marks and nobody thinks anything of it.

In Night Vale, a baby can be born with a beautiful but terrible beard, as a super dense pellet, or as a severed grown man's hand (ew), so that seems plausible. I sort of figure that when the population of Night Vale is described as "mostly human", it means that most people are completely human (Carlos), some are completely nonhuman (Hiram McDaniels), and the rest are a mixture (the Mayor).

I kinda want to record half an hour of shortwave static and warbles and mix it into episodes of Night Vale and tweak it a bit in Logic studio to make it sound like it's coming out of a shortwave receiver.

Just started listening to this and am about halfway through episode 16 as I type. The episodes are exactly the right length to fill up my drive to and from college so I've been listening to 2 a day for the last week or so and I'm really enjoying it. It's the perfect mix of surreal, creepy and humorous, and overall I have to say it's of excellent quality. It's a testament to Cecil Baldwin's voice that I can listen to just him talking for 1/2 an hour without growing tired of him. Also, his blatantly obvious infatuation with Carlos is pretty adorable. I hope it goes somewhere, only on ep. 16 so I kind of expect it to happen in some way or another.

Hey maxmona are you at that point in the process of getting publicity where you're trying to come up with answers to the same questions over and over and over again? Because nobody tells you about that ahead of time. If you're in that place, you have my sympathy.

In audio interviews you can kinda go way off topic in my experience and the person asking the questions can pick up on it if you're truly bored, but when you just get a list of questions to answer in an email and you've already answered them in five different places on five different websites you might want to throw your computer against the wall. On the other hand maxmona and Craner seem creative enough to always come up with different things to say, so maybe that's just me talking.

My general attitude is that if they ask me a boring question (or a question that they would have known the answer to if they did the tiniest bit of research) then I'm just going to give them a boring answer. So generally I just say the exact same thing I said to the last three people for that question.

It's the 'tell me what episode this phrase I vaguely remember is in thanks' requests that drive her nuts. Like she has the transcript memorized...? You know what weirds me out is that Carlos abruptly has a team of 'scientists'. Did they come with him? Are the his own set of interns Night Vale somehow provided? I have a theory they're Night Vale citizens since they were cooing like birds at a clock. Or maybe I'm being too literal.

They are mentioned in Episode 1 before Carlos is introduced, in reference to the house. Carlos has his own team of scientists, and then there's Night Vale's scientists. I've assumed Carlos's team is dead because they're not mentioned again after that episode I think. Also, we're definitely overthinking this.

Just now I discovered this neat thing on Tumblr called "Cooking with Clarice" which is presented as a cooking segment on Night Vale Community Radio. I think it has the tone of the show down pretty well and the narrator's English accent is delightful.  http://claricenightvale.tumblr.com/ Episodes Looking forward to more episodes assuming Jon doesn't brutally murder her first. If he's a gentleman, he'll wait at least a couple of dates for that. Action Yak fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Sep 11, 2013 |

I think its pretty interesting, but she needs to work on her sound quality. She definitely needs a Pop Filter to get rid of the breath noises. Some background music would help set the tone also.

Not necessarily 100% Night Vale related, but I saw the New York Neo-Futurists perform Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind during my recent visit to NYC and Cecil was on the night's cast (which I feel makes it fair game to bring up here). Can't say I expected to be handed a cup of Cecil Baldwin's penis water, but there you go. Anyway it was pretty fantastic overall and I think most of you who enjoy Night Vale would also enjoy their show, so go see it if you're in NYC on a Friday or Saturday sometime.

LOVING the new episode. Just got to the Weather. I feel like you're not just tossing out concepts - there's a coherent backstory and plot hidden behind everything. I'm getting the urge to listen to all the episodes again and make some kind of chart. This is probably the beginning of nightvale-induced insanity, isn't it?

The offhanded way that Carlos explained what was happening was hilarious to me. He really is getting used to the place!  The whole episode was gold, of course, but that in particular made me laugh.

Just listened to the "You" espisode last night. By far my favorite at this point. Maybe my favorite "radio" drama I've ever listened to. I imagine that this episode lends the most credence to the "Cecil has a third eye" camp, although I still prefer imagining him as a pretty much regular dude. Personally, before I saw any fan-art, I pictured him as a tall skinny bald man in his 40's, crushing on a younger sexier scientist. Nothing I've heard so far gives me any reason to sway from that initial picture, so I'm sticking with it!
