    The final update!

    Howdy, all. I just wanted to post one more update to our Kickstarter project - to remind you that our pilot episode AIRS tonight at midnight on WCIU, The U.

    Here's a tune-in guide:
    Antenna - 26.1
    Comcast (HD) - 183
    RCN - 6 / 606
    WOW - 6 / 207
    DISH - 26
    DIRECTV - 26
    U-VERSE - 10 / 1010

    If you're interested in following the progress of the show AFTER it airs, please follow us on our Facebook page, and visit us at DontSpitTheWater.com.

    We had a great article and full page spread in the Chicago Sun-Times. Click here to check it out!

    We hope you'll join us at the Lincoln Tap Room (3010 N. Lincoln) in Chicago tonight. We're gathering at 10pm. At midnight, they'll put all of the TVs on WCIU, and we'll watch the show as it airs live.

    Thanks again, everyone, for supporting this project. Here's hoping it's the beginning of something exciting!

    We have an air date!

    First off, my apologies to those of you who are receiving this information for the 4th or 5th time. With Facebook and Twitter, we're guilty of all sorts of information overload here. I blame teenagers.

    I'm so happy and proud to announce that our touchdown is nigh. We have an air date for our crazy live game show.

    Don't Spit the Water!'s pilot episode will debut on Saturday, September 3rd, at Midnight, on WCIU, The U.

    That's technically Sunday, September 4th... but in TV land, tomorrow doesn't start until 5am. So we say Saturday, September 3rd.

    We are super excited to be airing on The U's primary channel, and grateful to everyone at the station who gave us the green light.

    You can watch The U on channel 26. If you have Comcast, watch the show in HD on channel 183. If you have RCN, we're channel 6/606(HD). WOW cable, 6/207(HD). If you have DISH or DIRECTV, we're on channel 26. And if you've got U-Verse, find us on 10/1010(HD).

    We'll be sending out one more update just before we air. Thanks again for being a part of this project. I'm excited that we're so close to seeing it all the way through, and I hope that you are, too!

    Best,

    Steve
