As for the Topic of the Day...

The web series needs a trailer or two. A 30-second one at least, and a minute or 90-second one. You could do the usual thing where you show clips of the various episodes that are already in the can, however, I think even your trailer should be different. For some reason, I think one of those deals where the trailer doesn't really tell you anything about the series would actually work better as a curiosity piquer than the standard reel. Since the web series is a "fake series", why now a "fake trailer"?

Otherwise...

Set up a Facebook page, set up a separate Twitter account (and actually keep it active), and maybe even a separate YouTube Channel (if you hadn't already planned on doing that. Check out the various Fan Pages on Facebook for the actors you're featuring, as well as any Fan Sites too (I"m sure DRs MBarnum and JRand could help you out with that). Then...

Just let it go viral.

Wow! Did I make a typo that leaves DRvixmom in the dust. I was aiming for "Today."

It cost me $41.85 to send a carton weighing 4.1 lbs to Dublin this morning. It would have cost much less if I'd kept it under 4 lbs.

TOD:

I agree with all the suggestions made thus far. No need to repeat them.

BK - Don't forget broadwayworld.com - they sometimes will embed a video right there on their site

They'd done this with my two-part A LITTLE SITE MUSIC, and even did a little story on it, to show you an example:
http://broadwayworld.com/videoplay.php?colid=87610
and the views when people watched the embedded video on the broadwayworld.com site did count for the YouTube view tally!

Wouldn't it be great if MattH dropped by?

Happy birthday to Joy!!!!

Maybe Noel will drop by to check Joy's birthday wishes - who knows?

Thanks for the vibes for my friend's mother. She made it through surgery (double bypass) and is still here. Hopefully she will continue to heal.

And my friend gets to take a hot shower today, must be going to a friend's house for it.

From DR Ron:

Quote

This evening, patience paid off.

I went to my gym at 4 p.m. After I got back home, I paid a visit. Guess who was waiting for me at the door?

Miss Vee.

And she didn't run away.

She also didn't let me pet her, but she sniffed my hand and allowed me to touch the tip of her nose. I attempted to draw her into play, but she contented herself watching me play alone.

I have to say it's more pleasant going to that condo now that the kitchen is clean. I think maybe Miss Vee appreciates the clean floor.

This made me very happy.

Whom I believe is pregnant.

I, on the other hand, am up, after a wonderful night's sleep.

Good suggestions all! I'm writing it all down. I've been thinking about the trailer, as we definitely have to do one - it's very tricky with this show - I know the trend with trailers is just to put all the money laughs in a comedy trailer but then why even watch the show? So, I'm tending to agree with Jose about keeping it mysterious while at least letting people know what the show's about - we just have to find a way to make that funny and interesting and so that it makes people want to watch.

Wonder of wonders, I'm actually enjoying some Saturday afternoon down time and watching college football. By the time I returned from the luncheon, Richard had placed the centerpieces and party favors on the tables and suspended the Cincinnati Bearcats flag. As soon as the decorative napkins are placed by the hotel staff, I'll take a picture of our rehearsal dinner venue. It looks exactly the way it has looked in my head for the past 4 months.

I am back from a wonderful lunch of Chinese food at the 77th Street Westside Cottage with my friend Joseph Rubin, who's taken a management job with the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players (NYGASP). I told him all about Dublin and he told me all baout the Ohio Light Opera production of JUBILEE.

On my walk down, I passed the Petco at 81st Street, where th ASPCA is out in full force with kittens, cats, puppies and dogs for adoption. On my way back from lunch, I spoke to a couple of kind and patient ladies who gave me an application for adoption. There were two littlers in one cage of about 10-12 18-week old kittens, and I was ready to bring home a pair of siblings.

Had a flat tire this morning. Three hundred dollars later, it was off to Border's. Another $100 later (lots of fun books including "The Hammersteins" for $7). I feel broke.

I have to get THE HAMMERSTEINS; my friend Andy Hammerstein wrote it.

Aww, Elmore. I hope you find a kitten or two. What catches your eye? Orange ones? Cow cats? Siamese? Tabbies? Calicos?
