Thoughts after Ep. #39
We had a great time producing the show tonight. There were seven people in the studio audience- hard to fit them all in, but the band reacts well to the presence, and 'steps it up a notch' when there's physically an audience. The virtual world has yet to recreate the physical sense of performing for a live audience!
It was also nice to see Marc's dad, as well as his wife & daughter (who didn't stay for the show- too loud for the baby). Our studio audience tends to be close friends and family of the Furious World team, and it's wonderful to be able to share the experience with them!
We're also getting to know our internet audience better- we're getting your emails, your tweets, your phone calls, and we're learning from you and about you. Slowly, our community is growing, but not in the sense that a garden grows. Our community is more like the neurons of a brain, learning and establishing new pathways of information, sending & receiving signals down those pathways that- eventually- will echo back to our sonar from a new path.
Either we'll run out of money and have to turn off the lights, or our community synaptic network will start to resonate in a way that will change the human experience. Either way, we're playing for keeps.

Will the real Robert Kenner please stand up...
Marc and I were just calling our guest for tomorrow night. We normally schedule a skype test call with our guests a day or two before the show, just to make sure everything works on their end.
So, today we get on skype and call Robert. After a few minutes of awkward conversation, we realize that the older gentleman on the other end isn’t very familiar with computers, and speaks with a slight drawl more reminiscent of rural Texas than urban Los Angeles. A few questions later- “You know why we called you, right? For the show tomorrow?” and we learned the truth- we called the wrong Robert Kenner.
Well, he was a really nice guy, seemed to enjoy the conversation, and we let him know about our show. He’s going to watch it tomorrow night- in fact, we might even call him back during the show!
What are the chances of calling the wrong Robert Kenner, who happens to have skype, be online at right time on the right day, and be willing to answer the call? Even in this hyper-connected, computer-controlled digital age, it’s refreshing to know we can dial the wrong number- and meet a friendly person.
