Jenni's Tubefiler Article on BlizzCon


Hey Guildies! Look, I'm blogging! I know Kenny gives me a hard time about it, so I thought, "as soon as I have something worthy to blog about, I'm gonna do it!"

Well, I think I've found something! I wrote an article for the New Media blog Tubefilter about The Guild at BlizzCon. If you could all take a second to check it out an maybe throw a comment on there, that would be awesome!

Blizzcon Day 2

After a wonderful morning I was on a high, but that was soon gone as I hit traffic driving to Anaheim and Blizzcon. I had a shift at The Guild's booth from 3pm to 8pm. Traffic was horrible, but I got there around 3:15 but then had to find parking as all the lots were full. I finally found something miles away so I didn't get to The Guild booth until 3:30pm. I got excited again about getting my keys and folks kept congratulating me as I showed them the actual key.

The booth was packed with Guild fans. The signing was fun, meet several folks who said how much they enjoy my Twitter feed. And at 5pm I was asked to run the raffle (The Guild was giving away 4 Zune MP3 players). I had Jeff (Vork) and Robin (Clara) pull the names out of Vork's deep fryer. That was a lot of fun. After that there was the cast's final signing. There was a new Cast photo/poster that a fan did for The Guild and I wanted a copy signed by everyone so I did that. I also got a picture with each cast member because I take 1000's of photos of the cast and crew but there are so very few pictures of me on set and none with the cast members.

Blizzcon Day 1

Today was Blizzcon Day 1. I was asked to help with The Guild's booth and of course I said yes. My shift was 10am to 2:30pm. It was a lot of fun. I'm not a gamer so I was there just for The Guild and to support them. Met lots of fans and sold lots of Guild stuff. After my time at the booth it was time to get ready for The Guild panel. I was lucky enough to go back stage with the cast and wait for them to go on stage. While we waited I took the opportunity to interview some of the cast for a special KOTG microcast. After the panel, which was Fantastic.. I went back to my car to head home. My cell had died around 3pm so I plugged it in and had several urgent messages.

Joss Speaks about about Avatar

How cool is this.. over at Whedonesque Joss posted a little note to Felicia and Guild fans.

Okay, usually I stay above such matters. But this video must be number one!!! Who is this Taylor Swift? Some evil robot, PROBABLY. (Although an evil robot vid would also potentially be cool.) (But fine! She can be number two!) The point is, I love this video to distraction (and inevitable procrastination). It has Felicia -- and money! Felicia LYING IN money! Combo-ed! Plus Vork, turkey legs, and the Solid Guild dancers! I care!

And I'm hobbled here, peeps. I don't twitter (I occasionally Glitter and Be Gay, but that's it), can't digg, or favorite, or friend... In fact I don't understand why my typewriter has a TV on it. I'M NOT SAVVY. But I really want this to be big. It's indie (which is the most important part), it's awesome, and it's made by people that I friended in the old-fashioned way of being friends with them. (Okay, technically, I brothered Jed before I friended him, but he's still super-talented.) So help me out. Let's go the extra mile here and DESTROY THE SWIFTBOT! Then I can get back to the business of making Dollhouse stranger.

Digg deep, people.

Smoochez! -joss.

KOTG Contest #1

After the Guild panel at Comic Con the cast went to sign at the Xbox booth where they were giving out these really cool picture of The Guild cast in their avatar outfits. Of course I grabbed a few for our Knights of the Guild podcast to give away as prizes, large donations and even put one on ebay to raise money for a charity.

Well here is the first chance to get your hands on one of these really nice photos and it's not only autographed by all six of the main cast members (Felicia, Sandeep, Jeff, Robin, Amy and Vince) but I got Tara (Dena), Michele (Riley) and Sean Becker (Director) to sign them as well. So you get nine autographs.

This photo is 11x17

Now for contest details:

Jenni and I want you do an audio or video promo for Knights of the Guild podcast. We will choose one winner that we feel best promotes the podcast. The winning promo will be used to promote Knights of the Guild on other podcasts.

Please make the promo between 30 to 90 seconds.

We are giving you no direction and/or guidelines, we want to see what you can come up with.

Please email all entries to Knightsoftheguild@gmail.com

Contest deadline will be October 1st.

Okay Guildies lets see what you can come up with... good luck

Podcast Numbers

Today the podcast showed up on Itunes top 100 TV/Film audio podcasts. It started at #48. That is the highest our podcast has ever been and I was very excited. I tweeted about it and Brian (@theguild) posted about it and asked people to download and re tweet and they did. Next thing I knew we were at #45 and an hour later #14 and after that #7 and then #5 and finally #3. Can you believe it we hit the 3rd most popular TV/Film audio podcast on Itunes today. I am truly humbled by our awesome fans. There support is incredible and we continue to grow everyday.

Also today we passed 19,000 downloads.. not bad for being only seven months old. Again it goes back to our wonderful Guildies.

Thanks to all our loyal listeners.

Felicia Day Interview

Today Jenni came over to my place so we could do a skype interview with actress, writer, creator of The Guild Felicia Day. She was our special Cast Member interview for Knights of the Guild podcast #7. We started a bit late but the interview was fantastic. Got to ask a lot of cool questions and since Felicia is a friend it was less pressure and was more like three friends just shooting the breeze. After Felicia's interview Jenni and I recorded pick ups to fill in the blanks after splitting episode 7 into two podcasts. Now just a few more editing tweets and cutting in Felicia's interview and Knights of the Guild #7 part 1 & 2 should be ready for release.

I also prepared the show notes for both episodes.

Splitting the Podcast

I was editing podcast #7 and came to realize that even before we do the interview with Felicia that the podcast is already 1 hour and 30 minutes long. And with Felicia's interview it will push it over two hours. So I had some ideas, let me know what you think.

First we can leave it long, second we can try and cut a half hour out of it so it runs about the same length of our regular podcast. Or thirdly we move several of the segments to a second podcast (part2) that will be posted on the 1st (two weeks after) the main podcast.

Then I got to thinking I should do that for every podcast. Instead of one really long one you would get one on the 15th of the month and then another shorter one on the 1st of the month that would have two to three of the segments from the regular shows. The segments would always be changing depending on time. One month it could be fan interview and BTS the next month it's Cast and Crew update and Donations. So you'll be getting the same stuff just in two podcasts.

Do you like the idea?? Shorter podcasts and more of them? Leave a comment or email us at knightsoftheguild@gmail.com

Recording Episode #7

As you know I did a solo podcast recording for Microcast #5 and folks seemed to like it but many people missed Jenni, as did I.. so for episode #7 Jenni is back.. She came over around 7pm. I try and make the show as streamlined as possible and try and get them done in an hour but it never happens. Two hours later we finally finished the recording, we have such a fun time bantering back and fourth.. now I just need to edit it before August 15th. And we still need to interview Felicia Day for our Cast Interview. Will be doing that next week, but I hope to have everything already edited so all I have to do is plug in her interview and it will be good to go.
