This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Well right now it'd probably be too late to plan for a marathon of the whole series and movie for Friday, but hey, maybe if we remember we can do it whenever the next apocalypse is scheduled for.
But it really is too bad I just found out about this yesterday. If I had known sooner I might have suggested making a custom opening for the stream to the song Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku. It could have started with Akio's "Let me show you the end of the world." and then faded into the song.

You underestimate my power.
I can't find a torrent of the Musical, so it'll be YouTubed. How quaint...
Roster, as of now:
Middle School Musical (oh, I so punny)(working on obtaining)
Episode 4 and 5 (Miki story so good ya'll)
Episode 13 (DUNN DUNN DUNNNN)
Episode 19 & 20 (Wakaba arc makes dem feels come out real good)
Episode 25, 33
34, 37 (maybe, depends)
Episode 38, 39
Movie (maybe, time-depending)
More suggestions are always welcome!

Really, you think you can get something like that made by Friday. Well it would be awesome if you did.
As for the musical, I do believe there are programs out there that can download videos off of youtube. Though the program I was using before seems to not be compatible with youtubes latest look. Sometimes I wish youtube would just stop changing their site.

You can download youtube videos from most browsers if you look at its individual elements. Safari made it really easy.

You should throw in some AMVs as intermission fodder while you're at it.

Second that! AMVs are wonderful things... well, they can be. Just be sure to make sure they're good ones

Am I the only one that finds it funny that Ikuhara was born December 21st? He couldn't have planned that out better.
...Or maybe he did. Ikuhaaaraaaa!

Najiminkin's Utena dubs would make for great interludes, and I'd love to watch The Barefoot Girl and Her Tragedy (Nanami's Akio Arc Duels) wid y'all. They are my favorite episodes and make me cry super American manly tears.
I'm not sure if I work yet tomorrow, but I'll do my best to be there.

Well, ladies and ladies, it's about a day until the big show! Here are the details again, in case you have hyperlinkophobia.
Time: 7pm CST (8pm EST)
Where: Livestream (See post 1)
BYOB
Roster has been somewhat hinted and will be somewhat of a surprise for certain portions. All SKU-related and PG13 - NC17.
I'm so giddy! It's like I'm nervous with antici

I'm so excited. I've already watched the movie last night... I mean this early morning since technically the world was 'supposed' to end at 2am. lol I just find it rather ironic that at 2am at my house Utena and Anthy were speeding off into a post apocalyptic world, but on my side nothing of the sort happened like it was 'supposed' to. Of well, guess I'll just have to settle in seeing Akio tonight at the stream.
Now I'll end my post by saying,
The Absolute Destiny Apocalypse.

Haha, I was waiting until my next update to do that. Nice mockblock, OITL.
Okay, so the finishing touches on the night are at hand. I'm over excited, and I really hope you all enjoy it as much as I have planning it.
Don't forget that if you wish to comment on the stream, you need to make a LiveStream account. It's easy, simple, and moderately pain-free, so suck one up for the team.
The time again is at 7pm CST, 8pm EST, figure out the other timezones with Google, I'm rushing here.
You are more than welcome to bring in any other people that might get a kick out of things like this.
You are also welcome to kick back, grab some of your own provided alcohol (to you legals out there), or sparkling cider (for you underage kiddos).
Headphones might be good to use if you're watching alone. If not, hook a stereo up to your computers and rock this bad boy!
I can't wait to see you all tonight!

I'm super excited too. Can't wait to see what all you planned. Decided to make an account since I was able to make one quickly using Facebook. All I did was just delete my last name and change my display picture.

Woohoo! I may or may not be making peanut brittle and such during the livestream, which is pretty demanding, so if I'm silent for bits at a time that's why XD

Urgent update:
The stream is being delayed 23 minutes to help me get everything in order. Some real life things came up, and I'm doing my best to get things started as quickly as I can. I won't delay it any more than that, but the official time now is 7:23pm CST, 8:23pm EST.
Thank you for your understanding, and I shall see you all shortly!

Why do I think delaying it 23 minutes as opposed to 25 or 30 is the kind of thing Miki would do? I'm not sure, but that's the impression I'm getting from this :p
Edit: Also it figures the one time I actually show up on time to an IRG event, it gets delayed XD

Sorry, I didn't want this to be delayed, but life is kind of a douche, sometimes. And sorry, I have a semi-German/Miki sense of time. I hate to admit that I even busted out a stopwatch to time how long certain things were going to take.
But, with that said, it's only a quarter of an hour till this shindig takes flight! I hope you all are prepared!
I'd check your equipment, just in case.

No need to apologize, it's all good ^ __ ^

T-minus 8 minutes and counting!
I can feel the giddy-nerves crawling up my spine!

Uh, what?
Still, it stopped at exactly 6:16, so I guess that's pretty cool.
EDIT: Fixed.

Crazy stuff, ya'll. You all are missing out on good commentary in here!

Over all, despite the stream crashing a few times, it was a great night. I really think we should run one again sometime for any reason we can come up with. Maybe some sort of holiday.
By the way, TheOnlyFlorence, I liked the opening you made. It made me laugh. If possible you should post it on youtube for the memories and also so more people can see it.
