Back in the Shack
For those of you who didn’t know or don’t read the news stories on FFR, I have been on vacation in Florida for the last week and I am now finally back in Chicago (my home). We will be wrapping up .67 asap now that I am back.
Don’t forget to catch the live show from Spook Goblin tonight on FFR Radio. You can catch it by clicking on any of the FFR Radio links on the main page (this page) navigation.

Take Warning..
Wednesday, I repeat, WEDNESDAY JANUARY 14th, DJ SpookGoblin will be tearing it up live on FFR radio at 5pm pacific time. Since there is usually a lot of confusion on this, I made a neat little table:
Starting time.
5pm – Pacific
6pm – Mountain
7pm – Central
8pm – Eastern
Everyone complained about not having advanced notice in the past, so here you go, and I expect a lot of people to be listening! Tell all your friends!
Oh, and if anyone wants to…
I would be willing to let someone do an opening act. If you are interested, contact me via AIM or a PM and we’ll discuss the possibility. 
Crazyness
I apologize to all the 200,000+ members about the last 24hours. We had a database error that I was not aware of. I have been dialing in from Orlando because we are on vacation and didn’t get a chance to see the error until this morning. It was promptly fixed and we are back and rolling again. We also just recently finished running MANY patches and kernel updates to the FFR server and you may have noticed at times certain services were down.
We in fact are not going anywhere. Just preparing for larger things to come. 
Anyone here from Orlando? We are staying at the holiday Inn resort off of International Drive. Not a bad place.. Nice Suite.

IF YOU CANNOT GET TO THE SITE TONIGHT
We are doing some routine maint and patches tonight for the server. This may take awhile and we have actually been running updates since last night.
Fear not, FFR is just taking it’s vitamins.

Busting Butt to get .67 done..
We have been working all day and probably most of the way into the night tonight trying to get most of the .67 features done. I promise that you will get your money’s worth.
I will leave updates here as we progress.
Cheers,
Synthlight
P.S. Decided to let out some of the features that were done already while we continue to work on the final .67 tonight. Clear your caches and reload.. You will notice some new features at the end of a level on the score screen.
*NOTE* The main new feature is not in yet… this could take some time. We don’t want to get it wrong and screw everyone over.
*UPDATE* – We are still going to need some more time to work on additional features. Would you guys rather I tell you what the new big feature is now and then continue to work on it?
Original Holy Night Remix Replaced
We had 2 versions of the Cranky Party 4u song in the shop. The first one included triples and most keyboards do not support this. In response to that problem we created a second version without triples.
We then put up a vote asking people what they wanted to do with the original version. People overwhelmingly voted to have a new song put up to replace the original. So in it’s place you will find the AIM Anthem from DJ Aerogroove at 1000 credits. Definately not your normal song and As always, this is not a stepfile for the weak. We will be testing it this morning to fine tune it.

Xbox Live
So tonight I was playing DDR Ultramix on Xbox live when I hear “Is that Synthlight from FlashFlashRevolution?”
Freaked me out! But yes that was me on earlier for those people who were playing live. Btw I wasn’t using a controller. I was using a pad with a PS2 adapter. No mic
And since this is really not a newsworthy topic I will end it now.. lol

.67 To Be Released on Friday!
Normally I don’t announce versions ahead of the release but since we are just finishing up a few last features before the new version launches, I feel confident we can deliver on this date. I will not however list the features until release time as you never know when something may not go as expected.
I personally think that one of the features will be as revolutionary as the shop/credits were when they became part of FFR, maybe even more revoutionary.
Can’t wait to get the version out. If we finish sooner than Friday then we will release sooner.
