i wanted to take a another stab at answering jen's point so i dont come off so gruff. the web is not TV. that's the mantra. I believe that the BLOG aspect of a videoblog is very important. pulling videos out of the blog and showing on a big screen does start losing some of what I love about what we do. So dont think of local vlog screenings as needing to be traditional sit/watch/leave. Ryanne suggested things like have people stand up and talk between videos. play videos from the actual blog (on the big screen)...so people see it in context. Mix it with performance. Have some bands play. in the end, i think we're just talking about focusing on content versus the tech...since we know there's so much good stuff now that could bring more people in. Jay
