Brooklyn is Watching needs your help.

Posted by Amy Freelunch on April 28th, 2008

Your favorite podcast needs your help. Are you a big corporation with a desire to join the ranks of such industry innovators as Popcha and Tekserve? Or a helpful individual with time and/or money on your hands? If so, read on.

Audio. In case you haven’t noticed, Brooklyn is Watching needs help recording our podcast. I’m not sure what exactly to ask for because I don’t know exactly what we need, but our jerry-rigged version of capturing sound over Second Life doesn’t work on a predictable basis. Can you help? We all got a glimpse of what a decent-sounding podcast sounds like in our last recording, and now it will be so much harder to go back to our deep-breathing, noisy typing days. Can anyone out there help us, either with corporate sponsorship (we will shill for you! all the time!!) that will give us the equipment we need, or with expertise and advice to help us through? Get in touch!!

Meanwhile, remember that hilarious episode of WKRP where Johnny kept getting more and more drunk and, in the process, more and more lucid and together?

Little known fact: your hosts on BiW have the exact same thing happen to them when they drink. Plus they’re funnier and they fight more. So:

Liquor sponsorship. The key to a good podcast is overconsumption of alcohol. We’re all so much more hilarious when we’ve been drinking and you want this to happen. Please note that Amy Freelunch doesn’t drink beer, but will accept just about anything else. Again, we’re talking about RL alcohol, not SL stuff. Have you brewed something especially delicious in your bathtub? Pop it in a bottle, label it, and send it on over. We’re not picky, except for the no beer thing.

Also, spa treatments. Kiehls, Lush, and Bliss really need to step up. Soon we will all be sharing a very small space for an extra-special episode of BiW, and it would be nice if we all smelled yummy. Or really, whatever. I just really need some new shampoo and whatnot and thought this might be a good place to ask for it.

Popcha! (premier sponsor of Brooklyn is Watching) is at The Virtual Worlds 2008 Spring Conference in New York City this week and Linden Lab, the creators of Second Life, are featuring Brooklyn is Watching in thier booth display!
