@djsundog @alyx @vfrmedia @rey that's the easiest option. Shit, I'm down.

[ajroach42@retro.social]

@alyx alright, that's good for me. We'll figure out logistics on this end and be in touch?

[sarae@ecoevo.social]

@FeloniousPunk @boyago @alyx library at UW might also be good to ask, since they're in town

[godber@az.social]

@alyx standard mk2 flux capacitor…

Why do you tempt us with these things?

[itsjennotgoblin@goblin.camp]

@alyx

@hex @Thomas either of you able to use this??

[atlefren@snabelen.no]

@alyx @eivindmork Is this interesting (apart from the location I guess...)

[itsjennotgoblin@goblin.camp]

@hex @Thomas @alyx yeah, but I like you better so fuck that other person

[su_liam@mas.to]

@alyx This sort of thing is why my wife will end up dumping me, but not today.

[eivindmork@snabelen.no]

@atlefren @alyx Oh my! If I didn't live in an apartment and across the pond it would be awesome!

[mossyfoot@pdx.social]

@alyx if things don't work out in Georgia maybe try the Hollywood Theatre in Portland.

@su_liam
She'd leave you for a 4k scanner?
@alyx

[trainguyrom@techhub.social]

@ajroach42 @djsundog @alyx @vfrmedia @rey I'd offer to drive a leg across the Midwest if I didn't already have other imminent travel right now

Edit to add: please feel free to ping me if you end up arranging a pony express style transport plan. I could donate a day of my time to the cause if the timing works out. I also have a minivan I can put into freight mode if we're trans loading, or I could invest in a tow hitch like I've been strongly considering for a while and tow a small trailer (emphasis on small)

[mattmerk@mastodon.social]

@alyx Holy shit, I haven't seen one of these since the company I worked for owned one!

[quadrivial@beige.party]

@alyx I originally read this as "we rescued a set of 4k (versions of the) movie film Scanners" and I was briefly terrified

[su_liam@mas.to]

@gnate @alyx Collecting crap. And in my hands, it would honestly be frivolous crap. It looks like it’s going to a good home though.

[gnate@ohai.social]

@su_liam
Indeed! Hope it works out for the GA crew.

[alyx@frogs.lgbt]

we have a few leads on rehoming these and I'll work on following up on them to get these to a good home!

[jessienab@wetdry.world]

@alyx so fucking awesome!!!!! Godspeed @ajroach42 !!!!

[steter@mastodon.stevesworld.co]

@ajroach42 @alyx This is an excellent example of social media working. May the scanners arrive soon, ready to help digitize some film!
