I took a vacation from writing Joe to Gos the past three and half weeks. It was a combination of both A) a lot going on with my day job and personal life; and B) needing some distance from it to rethink what I’m doing with Real Joe… basically, preparing for a subscription model. I submitted a proposal for this to Johnny Walker Scotch Whiskey’s Keep Walking Fund last week. They’re awarding $500K to 5-12 startups and I figure we have a good chance to get some of it. I’ll know whether we’re a finalist by mid-August.
We’re still on track with the radio show pilot. We finished recording multiple takes of all the segments last week. Paul is now editing, while David and I started selecting a variety of music tracks for the opening and closing, plus the transitions between the segments. Our goal now is to have the first cut ready by July 20 so that a producer who’ll be visiting MN then will critique it for us.
