Can YOU do 26? The RT Philly Staff will be!
On Friday, May 18, be ready 26 consecutive hours of podcast excellence. We are kicking off ticket sales for RT Philly with RT26. Just like last year, we’ll have a fundraising goal and hilariously embarrassing milestones to hit–and this year, we’ll be delivering the goods immediately upon hitting the numbers. We’ll be releasing event and guest info, streaming games, concerts, movies, interviews, in both bold new video and classic audio!
We’ve already got some great stuff locked in and will be releasing the schedule and milestones soon. If you’d like to participate in RT Philly or have an idea for a segment you’d like to do, reach out to jack@rtphilly.com or hit me (Jengaship) up right here on Rooster Teeth.
RT26: Fixin’ for a 26′in.
So did you all have fun at PAX East? I know those of us from the staff who went had a blast, as always. I think the next big thing on the calendar is RTX, which we really encourage you to attend. They’re doing a Child’s Play auction similar to the Corgi Cup we started last year.
Anyhoo, I wanted to let you know about some of the technical changes we’ve had here for RT Philly. We’ve actually organized into a formal planning committee, with specific roles for different segments of the event. So without further ado, let me reintroduce you to our staff!!
JEFF
Chairman of the Board & Technical Director
As Chairman of the Board, Jeff Rupert represents the RT Philly organization as a whole and helps organize the more business-like aspects of the oversight board. He is also our Technical Director, responsible for things like the website and sound at the event.
MATT
Treasurer
Matt Evans is our Treasurer for both the board and the Planning Committee. He tells us how much $$ is where, when and why.
JACK
Secretary & Community Liason
Jack Edathil is our Community Liason, meeting and greeting community members and organizing Sidequests. He is also the Secretary for both the board and the Planning Committee.
VIRGINIA
Event Coordinator & Logistics
As the Event Coordinator, Virginia Evans is responsible for managing the Planning Committee and the overall event. She also works with John Sedlack to manage the venues.
JOHN
Guest Liason & Logistics
John Sedlack is our Guest Liason and the other half of the Logistics team. He does his best to make sure our special guests are happy and on time.
NICK
Media Manager
Nick Cusworth is the man in charge of the media content for the event. Without Nick, we wouldn’t have video and music submissions, or really, and event at all.
CLIFF
Volunteer Coordinator
Cliff Simon is our Volunteer Coordinator and all around handy-man. He regularly available to assist other Planning Committee members in getting stuff done.
So thats our staff! If you’ve got any questions, let us know with a comment or shoot us an email.
In the true community-arts-based nature of RT Philly, we have a fun project for you to support!
Lauren, AKA OboeCrazy, of Late Nite Jengajam, is an oboist on a mission to share classical music with the world. She calls her project Musiter and she’s looking for a little more help with finances to really make it what she invisions.
“Musiter is bite-sized fun bits of music in interesting locations. The length is based off of Twitter…no more than 140 notes of music performed and recorded in a unique and hopefully related location. If Twitter is a way to share thoughts in a concise way, Musiter is the same thing for musicians.
One of the problems facing classical music in general is the negative perception of the art as uptight and limited. Classical musicians are perceived as sheltered, cloistered in fancy concert halls and only accessible through expensive concerts of gigantic length and weight. As an oboist I play an instrument intimately tied to classical music, and Musiter is a way to break out of the stodgy mold to show the freedom and beauty classical music can have. It’s a way to make classical music accessible and fun, especially to an online audience used to tiny YouTube videos.”
There are only 6 days left for this Kickstarter so head over there and pitch in!
YAY! Community Arts!!
September 22, 2012
Doubletree Hotel, Philadelphia, PA
2012 will be year four for RT Philly and we’re reaching back to the ugly business conferences of the 1990s for inspiration. But before I get ahead of myself let me tell you about some things to look forward to.
We’re pretty enthusiastic about 2012 and we hope you’ll plan to join us for an awesome weekend!
Without you this event would not be possible.
RT Philly was born from a shared vision between Jack Edathil and John Sedlack in 2009. Since then, the support of our RT community has given rise to a fun and inspiring conference.
So with that, we thank you.
Or you thank yourself.
Or something.
Kittens.
A special thanks to our savior this year, DiMono and our grand wizard, Scott Susans. America thanks you for your kind generosity.
If you’d like to submit photos, ask questions, or find out information on how to help next year email us at info@rtphilly.com
So if you’re flying into PHL, theres a quick and easy way to get downtown from the airport and that my friends is by train. A cab could cost about $30-40, but the train will only cost you about $10 per person. Here what you do, take the airport line heading towards center city. Get off at Suburban station, and the hotel is about 7 blocks away. You can either hoof it (about 13min) or catch a cab if you have a lot of luggage (which will be a lot cheaper then from the airport)
