Neil Patrick Harris wins a Streamy Award 2009!

So The Real Cool Club just wrapped our first season and we couldn’t be more excstatic.  We feel we’ve really pushed the live streaming medium to new heights and limits.  Just looking back, we’ve managed to incorporate LIVE green screen, we did a LIVE interactive murder mystery (Thanks Sandeep!), we constantly engage our interactive audiences with challenges and opportunities to work themselves into the show, we did an 80′s sitcom callback episode, drag episode, celebrity guests and so much more.  This was just the first season, people!

Now here’s what we’d love: to win a Streamy Award.  The Real Cool Club fits into nearly every category that they are listing this year, and we truly feel that with a zero dollar budget we’ve managed to do more than anyone else out there.  We have a lot to be proud about.  But we’d love some of your help to win an award to bring back to our mantles at the end of the day.  It wouldn’t be just The Real Cool Club’s award, it would be OUR award – you included.  Obviously the show would not be where we are today if it wasn’t for our fantastic live viewers and fans.  We love you.

So we are approaching the last few hours of TheStream.tv‘s first 24hour “streamathon”.  It started Friday night at 6pm and ends Saturday night at 6pm.  Our original goal was to raise $1000 for The Epilepsy Foundation of the Greater Los Angeles Area over the course of the 24 hours.  Well, I am pleased to say that we surpassed that goal and are now shooting for $2000!

I do have to say that we can attribute reaching our original goal to my wiener.  Seriously.  My big ol’ ginger wiener is pretty rad…

TheStream.tv reaches 1000 episodes!

First of all, a big ol’ congratulations to Brian Gramo and TheStream.tv reaching 1000 episodes of live interactive entertainment!  I am absolutely blessed to be apart of all the action by hosting The Real Cool Club every Monday at 6pm PST with fellow KittyPornComedy.com partner, Lindsay Harbert.  Another benefit of being a part of New Media history, was being invited to the big 1000 episode red carpet party yesterday September 19th, 2009 hosted by EVO Energy Drink.

Okay, let’s just start by saying that it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time.  Let’s continue by saying I remember very little of it.  Let’s finish by saying I woke up half-naked in a pile of chedder-cheese Goldfish Crackers.  Oh boy, talk about amateur…    (continue reading…)
