Coming soon: a live Internet show with me.
I've been talking with some friends who do live streaming events about putting together a show in LA that would have a small live audience, and a potentially unlimited global audience, through streaming. It would be sort of like An Evening With Kevin Smith, but it would be with me. I'll read a few passages from my books, including unreleased material from All We Ever Wanted Was Everything, and then I'll do a little Q&A from the Internet and the live audience.
I think we're going to aim for like a $5 ticket price to watch the live stream, and the show would be in the neighborhood of two hours.
I want to hear from you and I want you to tell me if you're interested. If there's enough interest from different time zones (like Europe, where it could potentially be in the middle of the night when I'm live in LA) I would do a show that's at like 11am in LA, but 8pm or whatever in Europe.
I beg your patience and understanding during the coming weeks, because I'm going to ask this over and over again to make sure as many people as possible know about it. You're going to see reposts on my Facebook, on Tumblr, on Instagram, and on my blog.
For a show like this to be successful in person, I'd need to sell out a house of like 800 people, so I need to hit at least that many people online to feel like it's worth it, but I'm also cautiously optimistic about the potential for a global audience over 1000 people.
SO: I think $5 seems fair. Am I undervaluing myself? Should I make it like $7 or $10? That seems high to me, but what do I know.
If this works, I would be totally into doing shows every month, inviting artists who I think you'll dig, so they can earn some money, and build their audience.
H*ck, if this really does work, it could be something truly special and memorable for lots of people! I feel silly thinking big, but why not think big? I'd love to start something that grows into a really awesome showcase for my work, and other people (musicians, comedians, storytellers) who I want to bring to a larger audience than they have right now.

Your Rocky Horror story (w/ Paul & Storm) was a highlight of W00tstock. $5 is more than fair for 2 hours of similar stuff. If I were to pay $10, I'd want to own it and re-watch it a hundred times and stuff.

If you add some homebrewing events, count me in!
I just found Radio free burrito. And I was wondering why not make a video podcast and ads. The option to make people pay for it will get rid of all the markets that involve a weak coin vs the dollar
$5 is perfectly reasonable. But the real coin is all in the MERCH!

If its good and everyone enjoys doing the first one...itll merit continuance.
You’re worth more. I wonder if you’d consider talking more about your life experiences? I think you really have a lot to offer. Your experiences are like ours in so many ways.
Sounds like a plan! Looking forward to it.
$5 would be a good bargain. I think for a two hour event, that is one time only, $10 would be fair - though I think that may be in the territory of giving people the ability to download/save it to rewatch.
I agree $5 for two hours is a good price that should bring a good audience size. I would love to see this happen.
I would totally check out your stream, might be easier for me to watch it after the event though
Have fun. I don't buy things online without a gift card and don't have paypal or anything online like that but good luck on your show. I hope that you'll allow us who cannot buy things online without a gift card and stuff to watch your show for free online after the event ends.
