Today is the second Wednesday of the month, which means it's once again time for Homebrew Website Club. It's one of the places where I set aside time to work on my projects.

Some of my projects are private, some are public, and some, like this journal, are a little hidden.

It's also three days until the next Monsters of Jungle show. This one marks 21 years of Monsters of Jungle throwing events here in Nürnberg, and it's been about 10 years since I joined the ranks. In the days leading up to any show, I try to prepare myself mentally and physically. Part of that is thinking about the people who will be there. I'm very conscious that our audience is paying out of their own pockets to come have a good time, and I want to give them their money's worth. That's what "Vibe Lifting" is all about.

For the upcoming show, we're hosting [IVY] and Maddy V. I've heard of Maddy V and have been following her journey into the DnB spotlight. [IVY] is someone I only learned about through the behind-the-scenes work of preparing for the show.

In this journal, I'd like to talk about things that might not be common knowledge, starting with my artist name. I already explained the missing "i" in my first entry, but some people assume I picked "Script" because I like to write.

I actually chose it because of my work as a programmer. I've been working with the web since I was a teenager, mostly with JavaScript (TypeScript nowadays). Still, I wasn't really much of a programmer until I got older and became a professional.

In those early days, I'd say I just wrote scripts. I worked with ActionScript, a language built on the same ECMAScript standard as JavaScript.

So now you have a little insight into my headspace before a show, and I've demystified a few facts about me along the way. I'm committing to writing every two weeks, so twice a month. I'll share my thoughts and opinions on things related to MC Scrpt, of course, but I'll also try to tie them to my other passions.

One of those passions is the IndieWeb movement. This website is my way of breaking away from the silos that make up the big social media platforms. In my opinion, you shouldn't need an account on one of them just to find out where the next show is.

Until we meet again, keep on dancing
