bikeless fishes & fishless bikes

If you live in New York City, and your dating life is less than superhellawickedcool, you should really check this out. Go ahead. Click.

Okay, now that you have, and are feeling pretty skeptical (as you should, because you are smart), let me tell you a story.

When the folks behind this project approached me about plugging it on my site, I went into mother bear mode. The words “reality show” have left a bad taste in my mouth, synonymous with “public humiliation” and “junior high.” I couldn’t, in good conscience, send anyone into that lion’s den. Even people I’ve never met.

I replied, expressing my… extreme reservation and was invited in for a preview.

So I checked it out for myself, and here’s what I found. Not only is the project worthy and entertaining and really, really interesting, the people running it are smart, sympathetic and wholly uninterested in embarrassing anyone. So forget junior high and reality programming. Think: documentary. About you. Fairly cool, huh? If you’re interested, send your photo and a short bio to cgadtv@yahoo.com.

This sounds like a neat idea. Too bad I don't live in NYC!

Their other stuff is great too--the "overheard" stuff.
