Kona tomorrow


You don't want to miss this one folks. It is earlier this year than year's past (some say as a direct result of the projected participation of LA) the 2012 Ironman World Championship is airing tomorrow in the Seattle area at 1300. That is one in the afternoon. Not a great time slot, but hey at least we get to watch, or tape, or TIVO or use whatever technology available to watch at a more convenient hour. The bar has been set at award winning levels and if I can judge by the awards banquet video, this year will be no exception. It is good. It will be fun and you will come away inspired. Please trust me on this. More here.

We are feverishly working a new angle on the CYCLEVIDZ project. We are now (semi-desperately) seeking the following:

One web-site designer
Two female actors (no prior experience necessary)
One male actor (having uncanny resemblance to Brad Pitt will help)
Four sponsors (or more, there is no limit)
One screenwriter 

The plan is to cut a pilot and sell the 12 week series. We have the host, we have e-commerce, we have assembled a terrifically talented core group and we have an idea. In broad strokes:

The pilot introduces the three stars. Each has their own distinct personality and life issues. They each want to increase their quality of life. One wants to lose weight, one wants to better manage stress and one simply wants to kick some ass in the local triathlon. There will be conflict. There will be drama. There will be challenge as the three embark on a transformational journey centered in and around their primary choice of exercise and strength gain, the House of Mirth. It's a reality show that brings the audience into the experience, atmosphere and effectiveness of indoor cycle training. The five minute intro sets the stage, we cut to archival footage during the workout portion, asking those watching at home to get off their chairs and onto the saddle and ride side by side, as we bring motivation, entertainment, inspiration and education streaming to an audience hungry for change. After the workout session a five minute cool-down-wrap-up, will close each episode and set the stage for the next. Two a week for the twelve weeks, available only by stream on our site. How exclusive! 

Exciting, dramatic, empirical, hyper interactive, effective, entertaining and (I love this one) coming to a laptop near you!!!! Can you hear the big baritone say that? 

It is also expensive and time consuming. So if you want to be a part of this endorphinated, Type A, cine-spin squad, please apply today. 

If you need an further visual of what we're after, just watch Ironman Saturday and you'll see all you need to know.

Aloha.
