Let's plan this shiz people. Who wants in on the marathon?
-
Meeeee
-
This is an idea I endorse and wish to be involved in.
-
24 HOURS! YES!
-
I'm all for this. I'm sure I can put in at least 4 hours if I'm needed, but probably more like 10.
For those who don't know what Darkstranger is talking about, they've been planning a 24 hour live broadcast on Cacti Radio for the past couple weeks now. So 24 hours of live prank calls. Why? Nobody knows.
We've talked about collecting money for some kind of charity, but then some people hate that idea. I don't really care either way. I just think it'd be fun to do a 24 hour show. I've also heard talk about a drive to fund Cacti Radio or just to give to the DJs, but personally I'd rather give it all to charity than do that.
So we should plan this all out. Here are the things I think might be important to figure out:
1. When will this happen and what time of day will it start? I heard Badfish and others talking about January on their show last night. We should set a date soon so we can adjust our work schedules around it.
2. Someone needs to record the full 24 hours since it might be difficult to get all the different recordings together. What's a good program that will record from a shoutcast stream?
3. What should every hour consist of? Something like at least 4 prank calls per hour and at least 50 minutes of live talk or pranks per hour. Ten minutes could be allowed for music so we can go take massive dumps or run to the neighbor's house to buy drugs.
That's all I can think of right now.

So far Tabachi says he's doing interviews between now and the marathon with various hackers, tech, phreek, prank, etc. type people to play during the whole thing. He'd like to actually be on for the full 24 hours. I'll hang in as much as possible(3-4 hours sleep). I'm all for collecting some cash for charity, but I know alot of people think it's dumb.....maybe a poll/vote is in order?
I think we should call some old favs from past and present PLA stuffs, lots of rappy, tons of us all bullshitting while horribly drunk, and pestering people all over the US :)
Any ideas?
-
$ towards prizes?
-
Interviews would be fun times. Even if we interview some PLA people. :D
-
$ towards prizes?
Or a raffle that could be awarded to a listener.
I really do like the idea of collecting money for something, just because it'd be fun to spoof a telethon. We could even call random people and demand money from them. A 24-hour telethon where we call people nonstop, demanding their money sounds awesome. Especially if none of them give us anything.
-
It should be near the end of Dec or the beginning of Jan.
How should we host it? TinyChat? Chat line? Vent.? Skype? We should have a combo of all of them. Skype connected to 3 or 4 open bridges (I have some) and a Vent. line and a Skype conf. with TinyChat as well. We should make it as open as possible.
Also, Who will host? Who will be OP?
-
24 PLA people. We are so good at planing things. Heh. We can go through skype as usual and steam it on the good ole Cacti Radio. I know that ThEN asked if it could be on his Bridge. . .Having a raffle might be fun. It would get people to listen and we can demand money from them. We need to get on the Tinychat and plan. We are all just a bunch of slacker loser pies. We can also whore out Rappy's new album and the Harley shirts some more.
-
So far I know that I, maybe Carlito, RTH, and Brad are willing to host the stream and make calls. I know that Tabachi often has the ability to host the stream while another person hosts the outgoing calls, so between all that we should have it covered. I myself can host stream + 2-3 skype callers while doing an outbound call, ad I'm willing to stick around for almost all of the day(minus 3-4 hours sleep).
I think we can easily work this out by first deciding the start time, then figuring out exactly how many people can host the stream, then how many can host calls(must have outgoing call plan with incoming number), then we pair people up or decided dedicated hosts, and divide by 24.
We could also use people willing to donate a little side cash for skype minutes so we can do oversees calls(I myself will buy a bit for when I host).
Who has outgoing skype with incoming number?
Who can host the stream?
Who can do both?
When should we start?
-

Carlito just told me yesterday that Skype is doing a promo thing right now where everyone gets a month of free international calling. He said he got an email about it. I'm not sure if I got an email, because I delete everything from Skype. But if we all get free international calling, then that's really good timing.
-
We should forward gas-station credit card lines to the bridge and other business numbers to the bridge and pick-up there calls for a while. (Or use a forwarding Chain)

yes i got that same email about the free month of calls...

Im in y'all

There should be a segment where you call people from the olden days of PLA. Like, Peachey, Dino, Jameson from the Boulder News Frenzy, or some living relatives of Alex Carbon. An interview with el_jefe where you guys reminisce would be awesome too.

YES. Right on man!

Looks like the marathon is going to happen on the 14/15th of this month. Make sure to buy a lot of caffeinated beverages losers.
-
Cool. That's my pay day so I'll be able to afford to stock up! Anyone know where I can still get some Jolt cola?
-
I'll do my best to participate that day. I'm having out of town company that weekend, but he likes prank calls so maybe he'll do some night shift stuff with me. When should we start, Darkstranger? Like maybe 12 noon Saturday until 12 noon Sunday?
-
What can I do to convince you guys to postpone the 24hr marathon until after the 20th?
My thesis is due on on that day, so after that, I have more free time than I know what to do with.
-
Monetary donations work wonders
-
I might completely flake out on the 14th/15th because of company visiting. I suck pretty bad! The 28th/29th might be better for me. But who knows, maybe the others won't even need me to help out with it. I'll try to give you all as much notice as possible.
-
I'm in either way....maybe we need a vote/poll to decide if we do the 24 on the 14th or 28th ?
-
I vote 24th.
-
The 24th will interfere with our ritual suicide on Tinychat, but I guess we could push that up to February. I'll ask Tabachi what he thinks. It's looking even less likely for me on the 14th because I think me and the houseguest will be spending all day/night in Portlandia on the 14th weekend.
-
Feel free to do the marathon whenever you'd like without my discretion. Don't plan around my schedule- I really can't pull a 24-hour shindig until June.
-
The 24th will interfere with our ritual suicide on Tinychat,
Wouldn't ritual suicide be the perfect way to end 24hours of prank calls and nerd talk?

Yes, but who's is bringing the pudding laced with arsenic? Were all wearing nikes, right?
-
The big thing right now is that if we push to the 28th we gain a stream and call host(RB)....I vote we go 28th I guess
-
I haven't been a part of this at all, but I say wait for the 28th if there are multiple people who could join in that day
-
My company is totally sick of me and is leaving today. I was an extra bad host so that they would leave earlier. This means that I have this weekend free! Me, Trevor and TheN just talked about it on Tinychat and decided that we should go ahead and make it happen today.
So our official 24 plan is to start at 7pm Pacific / 10pm Eastern tonight (Saturday) and to keep the nonstop pranks happening until 7pm Pacific / 10pm Eastern Sunday night. We may get started a bit early tonight if anyone feels like it. I'm willing to wake up and take night shifts or early morning shifts, so we should be able to keep it going for the entire time.
-
Oh well, fuck the thesis. Prank calls and nerd talk!
Maybe call this a test run for another one at a later date that more people can get involved in?

Sorry to mess up your plans, UKted. Education is overrated anyway.

Education is overrated.
You have no idea how true that is.
-
We've been on for 22 hours now! Time to quit.
-
show was fun . thanks to all y'all *rainbowsmiley*
-
Damn, how did I miss this? It would have been kind of cool to have done it on a weekday so we could screw with businesses and government agencies that we typically don't get to screw with at night or on the weekend.
-
So much fun, Well done to everyone involved! you guys are awesome.
-
I'll be releasing all of the calls later on this week in MP3 format.

Is there another link to the calls? The zshare link went down.
