You know I was very tired and very near sleep last night at about 2:50am when I spotted a Twitter update from Otep Shamaya for a uStream live video chat with Otep herself. So naturally I couldn't pass this up because, if you know nothing of Otep she is a very intelligent and passionate person, and it's so awesome that she offers opportunities like this for us fans to actually chat back and forth with her. This time was particularly cool because it wasn't pre-announced so there weren't 1000+ people in the chat room all bombarding the board with questions and annoyances, it was just about 45-60 instead. I actually was able to talk back and forth with Otep via chat and she answered several of my questions as well as commented on my answers to her questions which was great. Outside of seeing a band or two for quick glimpses at a show I haven't ever been able to have that personal of a commentary with an artist that I am such a fan of. She briefly spoke about the upcoming new album and how she may use a fans instrumentation with her lyrics, as well as the different possibilities of covers she may do in the future. She asked what song of The Doors we thought she should cover, and she rather liked my submission of "The End" which was cool. So anyhow the chat lasted until about 4am and then I tried to go to sleep but of course my insomnia prevented me, so I brewed some coffee and am listening to The Muse until its acceptable to be loud again, then I can get ready for the day and get my ass to the bank before the state decides this check they sent me is void. Cheers.
