first livestream! (and a poll about time preferences)
Added 2021-01-04 16:17:16 +0000 UTCHello Jorts Enthusiasts,
I've been saying thank you a lot recently, but let me say it again. Your support is truly unbelievable, and I'm so grateful that y'all care enough about my work to want to be mentioned in the end of the videos. Thank you.
Speaking of your names at the end of the videos, here's the current plan for the credits:

Even with two columns, the scroll will probably be ~40 seconds (again, thank you all), so I'll probably fill the first 20 seconds with extra footage before the endslate pops up!
But that's not what this post is about. It's about the first patron-only livestream. It will be:
****MONDAY, JANUARY 11TH, 6-7pm ET****
I'll be filming (and potentially editing) some goofy green screen shots to update and upgrade my High Intensity Biking section of my Twitch stream. I'll show y'all my "studio" (read: the space next to my computer where I tape a green screen to the wall) and show my extremely busted workflow of turning arbitrary green screen takes into a video.
I'll message you all a link to the unlisted YouTube stream closer to the date, and don't worry if you can't make it live, because it'll stay up after the fact!
But since this is my first patron livestream, I'd love to know what times work best for you all. Select which of these timeslots work for you (you can choose multiple!) and I'll take that into account in planning the livestreams going forward!

2021-01-11 17:51:25 +0000 UTCi just joined today! will i be able to get the link to the livestream? :0
2021-01-11 17:43:08 +0000 UTCYou can just in case, change your patron username to something else
2021-01-09 19:34:06 +0000 UTCIs there any way to opt out of having our names listed publicly? Iβm really happy to be able to support you directly, but I also prefer to minimize my internet footprint.

2021-01-05 17:48:56 +0000 UTCI can definitely do a weekend/weird time slot stream a few times this year! Iβm sure there will come a point where Iβll just want to hang out at 2am just to see where it takes us

2021-01-05 14:28:03 +0000 UTCThanks for posting this! Would you be open to doing weekends occasionally? Or mixing it up so we all get an opportunity to join live? I live on the west coast and work long hours, so none of these slots would work on typical weekdays for me.

2021-01-05 08:38:49 +0000 UTCIf we choose the last option, do we get a 12 hour livestream? ;P
2021-01-05 06:46:43 +0000 UTCas someone not from the US of course i prefer the earlier hours, but i get that most of the americans can't make there hours so it doesn't make much sense to stream then. It would be great if from time to time you did do an earlier one though!

2021-01-04 22:38:14 +0000 UTCsad to see my fave outvoted; guess I will be staying up all night then... (damn you, timezones * shakes fist at god *)
2021-01-04 21:22:19 +0000 UTCI live in Europe but who am I kidding? I'll probably be their regardless of the time!
2021-01-04 21:10:45 +0000 UTCDay of the week would also be great! Australian fan here and AEST is the worst time zone but weekends = time has no meaning

2021-01-04 18:04:28 +0000 UTCNo I work closing shifts π«
2021-01-04 18:03:34 +0000 UTCThrilling- just excited to be here, baybeeeeee! I'm in PST time zone and spent the last 4 months watching your bike streams "VOD" style- It's worked great! There will have some casual workdays I can get away with the crime of watching a live stream.
Jeanette!
2021-01-04 17:17:24 +0000 UTCSweet!!! 6-7pm EST on weekdays is actually extremely perfect for me π Iβm looking forward to it!!

2021-01-04 16:49:07 +0000 UTCI'll be recovering from my surgery tomorrow during the stream, so I'm excited to be entertained while I'm on bed rest!

2021-01-04 16:45:23 +0000 UTCOoh that's a good point. I might do a day of the week poll in the future to see what works best!
Brian David Gilbert
2021-01-04 16:31:51 +0000 UTCIt's actually next week! I'll always try to give a week of heads up. I'm glad you're excited to join but you'll be waiting quite a long time if you log on for it tonight.

2021-01-04 16:24:54 +0000 UTCMaybe the easiest way to do the streams, so that non Us Viewer can see them live is to host them on Friday, so it would be Saturday morning/noon for the European guys.

2021-01-04 16:24:43 +0000 UTC6pm ET is midnight here, but like... when am I ever asleep before 4am? so that works lol

2021-01-04 16:23:38 +0000 UTCThanks for the update and for giving us some input on the time slots. Looking forward to joining the stream tonight!

2021-01-04 16:22:41 +0000 UTCThank you for the consideration. I have voted in line with the fact that I am a full 5 hours ahead of the Big Apple, but accept that this might not always be one I can always make it to if the later time wins out. Godspeed, travellers!
