Kudos to you on your 1000th post!
-
yay Josh!
There is at least one other TSOYA interview with just Tom. But that site is too confusing to figure out which one. Original air dates, people.
There is also a wikipedia for S&W.

There's an interview with Jon that the mighty Joan Hiller just did for The Stranger that is worth tracking down. It reveals some exciting 08/09 S&W stuff...!
Find it, internet adventurers!
Tom.

All this info should really appear in a separate link on this web site, I think, not just remain buried in this thread. I know a lot of it is there already.
For a fan like me, listening to and reading this stuff is actually kind of a form of therapy.

Yet more evidence of the need for a renewed wiki. A wiki we can believe in.
-
So who wants to head up the new wiki?
Tom.
-
I'll happily help with the organization of useful information (I think there mostly needs to be a new top-level with links to useful info; the existing FOTpedia can be a link off of the main page). As long as enough FOTs of good standing have the power to make edits I think that part should take care of itself.
But the biggest problems with the wiki right now appear to be technological.

I didn't know the Patton/Philly was taped!
-
I'd also be willing to take it on since I thought the wiki was a great idea initially, but like yesno, don't know if I would be able to tackle the technological aspects. Who knows? But probably the job calls for someone with that expertise.
Some of the content there is great, and it's a tribute to the many wonderful characters from the Newbridge community and The Best Show who have delighted and inspired us all. It can be a whole lot more, too.
-
We are putting together a small team to take on the Wiki task. Kind of like the dudes who took on the asteroid in ARMANDGEDDY - everybody's in it for a different reason. But the end result will be VICTORY.
If you're up for the task, sign up in the WIKI THREAD that you will see stickied on this board! A couple choice peoples are already on the squad.
Thanks.
Tom.

Also, most of us will die.
