Gentlemen,
After pouring over and throuoghly enjoying the numerous reports from all over the world since joining this site and posting a few reports myself, I had this wild and crazy idea..........
My previous reports were, shall we say, "edited for content" by the Hombre Support Team....thank you very little, but I understand their reasons. Unfortunately, during these "edits" some priceless photos and related captions would be removed that helped the story flow......kind of like Jaguer's stories.
So there were two options in my opinion...(1) Grin and bear it and see what happens after posting the original or...(2) come up with another way.
After, conferring with staff and owner of our host villa and having the "comforts of home" available, i.e. high speed internet access, we are going to attempt to set up a LIVE!! feed to a remote website of the Brotherhood gathering and initiation party! Certainly don't want to ruffle the feathers of the CH Hombre Support Team.
Not quite sure how all this will happen and wanting to protect the identity of the brothers and guests but I'm told we can do this.
I don't think this has ever been done in the form of a trip report but what the hell! If we can make it work and somehow protect the ID's of the guys, why not........
I would be curious for some feedback for some savy computer Hombres about this. Thanks in advance for your input.

TD-It is a tall order for live feeds to be able to protect the identities of the Brotherhood. I mean, they are going to be distracted with demon rum and staring at gorgeous naked ladies. They are bound to ¨walk on camera¨ somewhere along the line.
You might be better off taping, editing and continuous play back, day by day so guys can log on when it best suits them. Easy to do with an FTP site to a server and yes, very unique to the community. A first of it´s kind I would think. Forget writing a report, log on and see the days festivities!!!!!
You could even leave it up for a month or two after you leave.
Just my 2 cents worth but if protecting the identities of the ¨hood¨is important, you had better edit first.
Now, if you need someone to come and perform this miracle for you, do the filming, editing and post it to a server on a daily basis, I could be persuaded to leve MDE for a couple of days. Cost you nothing but my expenses...he he! And, I get to play...a little!
PM me and we can chat further.

Sandman! Great to hear from you and thanks for the info. What you are saying sounds more in line with what I was thinking, and yes pertecting ID's is important. Don't think the Hombres would care to see my and Mr. B's ugly mugs anyway.
I will be in touch when I get a little more info, for I have passed your suggestions along.
Thanks
Turf
