Would it be feasible to do "The Guy James Show" from Crawford?

[BeachBuckeye]

We're thinking about going on Friday and doing the show live from the scene. What do you think? We would have to do it with a Marti Unit or by cell phone. I'm trying to get a tech evaluation of the situation right now. What do you think? Would it help or hurt the situation?

We had Cindy on our show about a month ago and she proved to be a great guest with her heart wrenching story.

1. Sounds like a great idea.. and you'd get to

rub shoulders with some other broadcasters who may not even klnow about you.. That's a story within a story:

"Plucky broadcaster from within hostile Florida territory, goes to where the story IS "...

2. I'm a little confused about where Cindy is.

Is she staying in a nearby hotel, or actually camping out? Or maybe there's a place in town you could use as a base of operations.

3. Any logistical information would be highly appreciated n/t

7. www.crawfordpeacehouse.org

Media center, lots of voluteers, food, water, connections and all the rest.

I believe Cindy camped out the last night or two. Tonight is something new. I'm still waiting to hear back from Hadi, he was in the middle of an interview with NPR.

4. Sounds great and I'll help in any way I can.

Keep in mind please this is a really fluid situation going on right now.

I heard earlier truthout will be there Wednesday.

Whatever you guys need somehow we will make it happen.

5. WOW Guy, that would be great!

6. I think an on-site show would be fabulous!

And set up some videotape for streaming on the internet also if affordable (and if during the daylight hours).

8. Yeah, go for it if everyone isn't in jail by then.

By then you should have a pretty good feel of what is coming down. I don't think it would hurt the situation at this stage as long as you don't make it into a circus and I know you won't.

[faithnotgreed]

9. good point

hope any media is there in the middle of the night since you know if they do something to cindy et al it will be in a cowardly way

[anarchy1999]

22. If everyone has been "jailed" all the more reason for more to show up.

We'll keep it peaceful.

10. That's a great idea. I think Cindy should get all

the people behind her she can. I can't see how it would hurt the situation. She has been telling people to come down. I think all the support and people she gets there, would be the best thing. She shouldn't be alone. There are so many of us who are trying to find a way to stop what happened to her son and so many others.

11. Hmm.. I'm torn on this.

It has just a little hint of the Hannity/Terri Schiavo fiasco. I realize it's a completely different situation, but I just can't get that image out of my head.

[B Calm]

12. Hannity/Shaivo fiasco???? that don't make a bit of sense!

[tridim]

13. Didn't Hannity broadcast from Terri Schiavo's hospice?

[B Calm]

15. So?????

[tridim]

20. So.. I think this is too serious to make a circus out of it

They'd have to bring a mobile studio setup.. It just doesn't seem right. This is Cindy's moment, no need to risk mucking it up with radio shows and concessions.

I guess you don't agree. No big deal. :shrug:

[BeachBuckeye]

21. No mobil studio setup

A cell phone and not much else. Does anyone know if Verizon is ok in that area?

[stevedeshazer]

16. Well, they're both brain dead.

Bush and Schiavo, that is.

Apologies to the brain dead community.

[stevedeshazer]

14. Terrific idea, but I can't speak much to the technical aspect.

But it's worth having degraded audio, and I know you and your crew would do a great job.

There's just something about being on-site that adds to radio, even though you can't see it.

Good luck, I hope you can pull it off.

17. Please Please Please DO IT!!!!

It would rock buddy!

Don't listen to the naysaying posse of scardicats!

[BeachBuckeye]

23. absent any last minute glitches between now and 2pm

If all goes well this morning I think we'll go ahead and book tickets etc. This is a stretch because we have no idea about phone facilities etc. in that area. We'll have to do some of it on the cell and it looks as if my cell company covers that area.

[SnoopDog]

18. That would be so awsome...!

[proud patriot]

19. I think it's a fabulous idea
