Time Machine Guitar http://www.timemachineguitar.com A Rock N' Rollish Trip Across History, Powered by Playtricity.TM Fri, 10 May 2013 22:28:40 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 The TV pilot to be broadcast on WTTW/Chicago May 17-21 http://www.timemachineguitar.com/the-tv-pilot-to-be-broadcast-on-wttwchicago-may-17-21/ http://www.timemachineguitar.com/the-tv-pilot-to-be-broadcast-on-wttwchicago-may-17-21/#comments Tue, 07 May 2013 20:54:29 +0000 Rob http://www.timemachineguitar.com/?p=702 Ralph talks about the upcoming broadcast premiere of Time Machine Guitar in this video!

We are so excited!  As many of you know, we’ve been working for over a year on the television pilot called “Ralph’s World: Time Machine Guitar” that we hope one day will be broadcast all over the country- even the world. Well, we’re taking a big step towards that soon.

In just a short while WTTW/Channel 11, the local PBS station here in Chicago, will be airing our pilot.  Here are the dates and times:

Friday, May 17, 2:30pm
Saturday, May 18, 9:00am
Sunday, May 19, 10:30am
Tuesday, May 21, 6:30am

Please let your friends know and we’d love to hear what you thought of it. You can send us an email or post a note on the Ralph’s World Facebook page. We’ll be making an invite shortly that you can share as well.

Note that the show actual airs at 2:30pm Friday, not what Ralph says, since there was a change between filming and posting.  If you’d like to set up an email reminder on your calendar, WTTW provides a free link to set it up on Yahoo, Outlook, Google, and iCal.

Check it out.

“With the TV show, we’re trying to create something that has the same sensibility to it, and also do a show that engages and activates the kids. I think that’s something that’s not done enough with TV . . .”

Thanks everybody for your support and faith in this project. The sense of magic I experienced in January shooting the pilot was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The process of reaching out to all of you (and all the great comments and enthusiasm you’ve given back) has made it seem even more possible and worthwhile. Our Kickstarter campaign just ended but it’s only the beginning of the bigger adventure!
