General Notes:
This was edited as a "Best of The Bunny" five disc set, containing both
"From the Archives" shows from Kevin Shapiro, plus the soundcheck and some DJ
banter to help bring the feel of The Bunny back.  The result if over five and a half
hours of The Bunny.

Thanks to Kevin Shapiro for help with this txt file.


Recording Notes:
We stayed at a local motel during the duration of IT, so we had access
to power to record
many many hours of The Bunny; We ended up over 25 hours.

During the second "From the Archives" show, we were enroute to the
festival grounds. There
is occasional static as a result. See the bunny-recording.jpg picture
for the setup.

Even though this clocks in at over five-and-a-half hours, the FLAC files
are only 1.2GB
in size.  This is because the webcast audio (see notes below) was mono,
and the recording
level generally never peaked above -6dB.  The result are some really
tightly-compressed
FLAC files.

The source for this FM broadcast apparently includes a WiFi link and an
Internet webcast,
used to transmit the audio from the Loring Comerce Centre to the
station's studios in
Presque Isle.  Apparently, the primary method of transmitting the audio
was fried by
lightning earlier in the week, so this was a last-minute effort to put
the station
on-the-air from backstage.  Below is an article that appeared in the New
York Times
regarding what happened:
