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"
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.
March 17, 2006... 6 years ago today: There was awesome. I wait patiently for more awesome. In the mean time, I honor awesome by watching back episodes of awesome.
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.
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..:)
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
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.
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).
For the raw data, http://tinyurl.com/Gabble-Workspace. There is also frantic work going on for the Hankos, check it out.
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.
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.

Good morning!
Take a look at update 6 & 4 for more info on what we're voting on, but we need your input. FINAL Poll open now here http://booroo.com/app/showpoll.asp… .
After we removed votes from duplicate IP Addresses, we had 3 sets of 4 names and 1 THEME as the leaders. So, please now vote for your favorite ONE set of 4 names. We have limited the poll to 1 vote per IP address. Polls close at 11a EST, so please, help keep this message current in the COMMENTS. Thanks all! = )
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.
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.
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!

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. :)

So, I'm curious, who has gone out of their way to use the word "megagaltastic" in their writing in the past few years?
