Remember how awesome reading Choose Your Own Adventure books were? Wouldn't it be awesome if you could have that same enjoyment in TV form? About a year ago Mandy and I thought it would be a great idea for a tv show. Have a giant cliffhanger ending every week then allow the audience to vote as to which way it would end. LOST meets American Idol: It's a recipe for success.
Car jumps off of bridge!!! What Happens now?!
1) Car makes it to the land on the other side and lets the bad guy escape
2) Car lands in river with bad guy trapped inside with the lost treasure of Atlantis
I was talking about this idea at a book store today when some stranger comes up and asks me what I was planning on doing with this idea. Having no plan, I had little to say. However, he happens to be a director/producer looking for an idea to take to this Pitching Festival in Banff in a few months. He thought this idea sounded like something people would really go for nowadays, gave me his email and asked me to write down the idea and send it to him to be developed and pitched.
So, it looks like Mandy and I are about to make wheelbarrows full of money.... well, ok. It's a crazy long shot, but still pretty freaking cool.
Here's where you come in: Mandy and I are pretty good at coming up with crazy ideas, but do you have any extra? We're going to hash it out next weekend and put some things on paper, but do any of you have ideas? Plot lines? Characters we need to have? Suggestions for awesome cliffhangers?
Ready.... GO!

Quickly!
Your friend has come up with a super-silly idea of making a "Choose Your Own Adventure"-type TV show!
Do you:
a) point and laugh at the utter absurdity of it all
b) muse upon it and come to the grudging realization that it's kind of a nifty idea
c) come to the conclusion that this is just a way of wasting 5 minutes of your day at work and you really ought to get back to the drudgery.
Lurve,

You're going to be SOOO jealous when I have millions of dollars and you don't.
And just because you made fun of me, I'm not sharing it with you.
HA!
damn! I should have thought that one out a bit more....
