Ventriloquist Central Blog

This blog has a dual purpose. To let those that are going and to those that won’t be able to make to the ConVENTion….know what to expect from us (Steve and me) at Ventriloquist Central.

As I am writing this, I just got off the phone with Steve and he tells me he’s already in the “ConVENTion” mode, trying to get everything worked out technically to make all this work.

First off, to those unable to attend the ConVENTion, we are going to try and do our best to provide as much information as we can about what’s happening before and during the ConVENTion. This information will be available on the Ventriloquist Central blog and on the Ventriloquist Central Facebook page.

We’ll be providing some audio moments, as well as video and as stated in the past few days, we’ll be doing LIVE broadcasts from the ConVENTion.

Before the ConVENTion, Steve and I will be providing information about our trips to Fort Mitchell. Steve is driving and leaving on Monday. He told me if possible, he’ll be providing updates on Facebook as well as the blog about his progress.

I’ll be flying out on Tuesday afternoon and will be letting you know about my progress as well.

On Tuesday evening, July 13th, 7pm (Eastern) we will attempt to do a LIVE broadcast to test everything to see if it works. If you can be online at that time, it would be great to get some feedback. To watch:

For those that will be attending the ConVENTion, please look us up. We want to meet everyone we can. Plus, we’d love to do videos to show everyone on the blog.

If you have a Ventriloquist Central T-Shirt, please bring it with you so we can do a group photo. We’ll do the photo after the ConVENTion photo.

Also, I’ll be bringing a few t-shirts with me (less than 10…the rest have sold), so if you want to get your own Ventriloquist Central T-Shirt, flag me down at the ConVENTion.

In some way, we hope we can help make this a wonderful time for all the faithful Ventriloquist Central readers.

Yes, you read that right. As technology advances so does Ventriloquist Central and this year, we are going to take a giant leap forward.

The largest gathering of ventriloquists in the world takes place on July 14th and we want you to be there even if you can’t be there in person so….thanks to my partner and webmaster, Steve Hurst, we’ll be broadcasting LIVE from the Vent Haven ConVENTion via the Internet. Let me explain how this will work.

At various times (more about this in a moment), we’ll be providing LIVE coverage from different areas of the ConVENTion. We may be in the lobby talking with people, in the hallways and in the Dealers Rooms. (Sorry, but due to Vent Haven ConVENTion policies, we will NOT be providing live coverage of the workshops, shows or the museum)

We will do a test broadcast on Tuesday, July 13th, sometime in the late afternoon (Eastern time) or early evening to make sure the technology is working correctly. We’ll be sending out an email on Tuesday, the 13th, and make a posting on FaceBook with the exact time of the test broadcast. During the test broadcast, we’ll let you know the times we’ll be broadcasting during the ConVENTion.

Here’s where you’ll go when we are broadcasting LIVE:

Don’t worry, if you can’t be available for the test broadcast, you can watch a replay of it from the website above to get the times of the future broadcasts.

Keep watching your emails, this Ventriloquist Central blog and Facebook for more information.
