#ShitGotReal: Super super super huge announcement has been announced!
Are. You. Ready. @TNTML?
This is the BIGGEST news to ever ... and I mean EEVVVEEEERRRR be announced.
Huge ... huge deal.
Alrite, maybe I should just shut up already and get to it? I mean, that is what you guys are here for right?
Ohhhhh what a shiny bracelet you have on.
::slaps self:: quit it Friel.
Drum roll please ...
Ladies and germie men, I am pleasured and humbled to announce that ...
Talk Nerdy To Me, Lover will now be a once a month live stage show here in Hollywood with our first show on January 27th!!!
What? You're saying? Where did this come from? And how is the stage show going to be formatted?
Au contraire, mon frère - lemme break this down for you.
First up, this all came about while I was being interviewed for The Anytime Show.
See, Dominic is moving his show to a new theater on Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywood, and the theater owner just happened there in person for that interview, saw who I was, checked out the site, dug what we were about - and then contacted me on Facebook.
I was all ... wow, I never even THOUGHT about turning this into a stage show, but it's totally doable!!!
I then gathered the troops, realized that everything TOTALLY made sense and would be an AH-MAZING opportunity, and here we are today.
The show will consist of the following ...
1. Opening remarks/ updates on whatever adventures in lifecasting have transpired.
2. Dramatic interpretation of OkCupid emails.
3. Storytelling.
4. Panel Discussion.
I can't go into too much more detail without giving away the fun - but it's going to be more awesomeness and fun that is the heart of TNTML and you guys will be able to see it live, and even have a chance to interact with some of your favorite nerds and ask stuff that maybe we were still too afraid to print!!!! (There will also be some rad social media integration - so that I am REALLLYYYY stoked about!!)
It is my goal for 2012 to get as MUUCCHHHHH of this community interacting IRL as much as we all do online, and this is a VERY big first step.
On a more personal note, I cannot begin to tell you how much of this is a dream come true for me. I've been writing and producing little skits since I could hold a pencil, and this is very literally the coolest thing to ever happen to me. To even have this opportunity - wow. Huge.
More details to come over the next few weeks, but LA area nerds, keep the night of January 27th open!!! We'd be HONORED to have you!!!
From the depths of my everything, thank you all so so so much for this opportunity. Superly duperly huge - and for the next 3 weeks, up until we go live, we'll be giving you guys all backstage access to all the fun - so stay tuned!
SO MUCH FREAKING LOVE TNTML!!! Thank you thank you thank you for being in my life!!
<3 @JenFriel
