Title: Live 4th Anniversary Podcast! 9/6/09
Post by: Rico on August 25, 2009, 06:32:21 AM
Well gang, coming up on the fourth anniversary show for "TREKS in SCI-FI" (started way back in the dark days of 2005 when it seemed we never would see new Trek again).  Well, now it's 2009 and "STAR TREK" is back, bigger than ever with a hit movie and more to come.  I hope many of you can join me as I celebrate 4 years of doing the podcast.  It's going to be a fun show of reminiscing and also talking about some new ideas I have for the future.  I also want this one to be more interactive and I will be bringing in some of you for brief times during the live podcast to talk about the things you've enjoyed over the years on the show.  It will be streamed live (via Ustream, so make sure you have an free account there to participate), and there will be contests too.  Should be fun!

LIVE SHOW, SUNDAY, Sept. 6th, 2009 starting at 1pm eastern time

Be there!

Can I just confirm this as 6th September. We write the date differently on this side of the pond. Day, Month and Year ;)
Title: Re: Live 4th Anniversary Podcast! 9/6/09
Post by: Feathers on August 31, 2009, 01:06:14 PM
I was just debating making that point! :D

Whatever the date, 6th September or 9th June, it's this coming Sunday.

And would that be 9pm GMT?

(Am I getting good at this or what!!? :) )

I don't think that's correct.  I think GMT is only 4 hours ahead of eastern time.  (And yes, it's Sunday, Sept. 6th).

So in answer to "am I getting good at this or what", you're telling me no! D'oh!! ;)

6pm here as it's a five hour difference (strictly we're on BST not GMT but as Rico's on EDT or whatever they call it over there and not EST, it cancels out. We're both on Summer Time and we're 5 hours ahead. )

Right, 6pm on Sunday here in the UK. Will try to get there for my first live Trek In Sci-Fi! At least its a more convenient hour for me than other live shows I've tried to listen in on.

Just need to try and distract Mrs Studfarm for a while......

As long as I have an Internet connection (we're on vacation), I will be with ya online!

(Hey Rico, I will be about 3.5 hours away from you on Sunday.  If I can convince my 'better half', maybe I will make the Trek down for some cake as well!)

Just a reminder that this will start this coming Sunday at about 1pm, eastern time.  There will be contests, some cool new prizes, and Mark will be here to join in the cake eating and fun!  All streaming live over Ustream.

I wanted to say, if anyone wants to send in any audio for this show - now's the time.  Congrats wishes are most welcome.  ;)

Not sound obtuse but do you have to be a member to watch it?

I think you can watch the Ustream feed without joining.  But it's free to join and you can then use your own username in the chat window (which will be going while the show airs).

Rico will put the link up to where to head to. I'd sign up so people know who you are otherwise you'll be something like ustream1234 ha ha.

I'll get the link up tomorrow - probably the same as previously used, I think.

I'm working on a very fun surprise for you Rico- so the comments will be to you by tomorrow.

I'm actualy preaching out of town that day for the first time in forever!  So I won't be able to be live with you all.  (I would have been) But, I need the work.  :)  Have a great time and I will miss everyone greatly.  I am so happy to be part of the this very cool and wonderful community. Happy 4th anniversary Rico and Treks in Sci Fi!
