Anyone transcribe the invocation yet? I'd be happy to make an attempt, but I'd much rather credit someone's good work if it's already been done. :)
Creator Tony Gambee on April 9, 2012
The preview was great Ze. You haven't lost that rhythm. great job.
Ze, when it comes to critics:
1. You are not here to win them over, you are here to converse with us.
2. As someone once told me, "Eat the meat and spit out the bones"
Creator Dan Sanderson on April 8, 2012
Loved the backers-only preview, thank you for that. I'd give more specific praise but you're clearly itching to go in new directions, and I wouldn't want even positive remarks to feel like a constraint or an expectation. Whatever I want will come from your commitment and sincerity, regardless of what you try. I'm looking forward to it.

Creator Samma on March 16, 2012
dying. that's hyperbole. But anxious? checking daily 2/3x to see if there is news of the date in 'end of march' near the anniversary of the first The Show to see if there's a date yet? Putting off life-sustaining activities like work to do the same. Uh . Ya. That's me.
Creator Okun on March 14, 2012
anyone else dying to see what happens now?
Creator Moonis Family on March 12, 2012
ahem...I mean...not that you weren't doing anything else in the meantime Ze...loved the TED talk...and the TIME pieces...heh timepieces...and the links and commentary on soo many cool, fun, interesting things along the way....I just meant "What is Ze Frank up to now (that is of the breadth and scale of The Show")...no disrespect..:)
Creator Moonis Family on March 12, 2012
So glad that the 73rd random impulse to Google "What's Ze Frank up to now?" has finally yielded fruit...really looking forward to this...
Creator Allan Dixon on March 12, 2012
Ze I'm making a website called www.gofuckingdosomething.com It's bucket list that curses at you to fucking to do something with your life. if you did one or two of the actions it would be awesome. Let the site decide what you do. It'll be live in the coming weeks
Creator Ben Capper on March 11, 2012
Wow Ze. There's so much depressing material out there and today's news is the poop flavoured icing on an already generously smelly sewage cake. Maybe ignoring the news and having 52 happy weeks is the thing to do? I'd like that.

Happy to give it a small push along the media road.

Well, we have consensus - 98 votes Street Chickens Street Chickens, Fire Eagles, Li'l Duckies, Giant Babies takes it over 96 votes Elements+Duckies: Flaming Hookbills (Fire), High Tide Mallards (Water), Dusty Pintails (Earth), Gale Force Goldeneyes (Air).

Creator Ron T Blechner on March 8, 2012
Ze: Augmented Reality App. I love when reality gets blurred with magic. Your perspective on so many things during "The Show" (like Break the Habit) saw the world in a magical way. I think thus, we should have an Android and iOS app that did some cool Augmented Reality stuff. It could be as simple as adding duckies to the landscape, or locating nearby signed-up sportsracers, but I think collaboratively we can come up with some awesome ideas.
-Ron
Creator Samma on March 8, 2012
Ok, Backers, we are REALLY working hard to find consensus here. When the votes were all tallied, and the duplicate IP's deleted, we ended up with a 63/62 vote; THEME - Element Synonym+Duckie / Street Chickens, Fire Eagles, Li'l Duckies, Giant Babies
A group of us met in the Googledocs that's been linked here, and hashed it out. Our consensus was that is just too close to call. But we still have to make the 12aPST deadline Ze set, and he's asked that we include Hanko draft concepts as well. So. We're opening the polls one last time, from 2p - 12a EST.
A crew of folks is busily working on hanko drafts to submit with a final slate of 4 Element+Duckies: Flaming Dutch Hookbills, High Tide Mallards, Dusty Pintails and Gale Force Goldeneyes
VS
Street Chickens, Fire Eagles, Li'l Duckies, Giant Babies.
If you want to join in the Hanko design concepts for either option, Scott Moore is heading up team Street Chickens and Georgiana is heading up team Element+Duckies. See their thoughts on the Hanko tab and join in the chat section of this. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc…
All 4 Hanko final concepts for each option need to be combined into 1 jpg image and ready to go by 1:45p EST so the polls can open at 2EST

Creator Roy Hampton on March 8, 2012
Just backed then. Looking forward to the Moby Dick poem :)
Just an idea but any thoughts regarding creating an app (both iOS and Android) for the new show? A way for us to keep up to date and stream episodes on the go :) Just a thought, feel free to shoot it down.
Creator Michael Abreo on March 8, 2012
The master is returning. You may be responsible for the YouTube style of vlogging but nobody knows how to utilize the benefits of this medium like you do sir. Promise to never fall into the habit of just making videos directed towards us? Personally I'd rather dress up my vacuum cleaner or make an ugly obsolete MySpace page than write a comment or make a video response where all I do is say whether or not I like the original video.
Creator Aubrey S on March 7, 2012
Ze - My then-boyfriend Carl and I totally bonded over watching The Show together back in '06. Now we are married and have a 2 1/2 week old son and we are SO EXCITED for The Show's return! Looking forward to all of the fun!

if you get enough money, can you buy some paint to put on the invisible children so we can see them. i dont like thinking they are going around coughing and sneezing on things and we dont know where.

I am really happy about this. I still go back and listen to the 12/4 episode (especially the Rumsfeld song) about twice a year.

Creator Ze Frank on March 6, 2012
don't think it is getting randomized - i refreshed a few times.
Creator Samma on March 6, 2012
The poll is randomized, so what you see when you respond should be different than what the next person sees.
