Okay, in my quest for world domination, I have created a "Facebook Group" devoted to convincing the Travel Channel to film an episode or segment of an episode of "No Reservations" (Anthony Bourdain's show) in Louisville, KY. If you are a Facebook member, please join here:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=44437048735.
I'm treating group memberships as "petition signatures" - but I know they won't come here just because we want them to. We have to give them a LONG list of reasons that Louisville would be an interesting stop for their show.
If for some reason you do not want to join Facebook just to join the group, you can still help by posting location ideas and brainstorming right here in this thread. Keep in mind that "No Reservations", while it centers around food, is not simply a culinary show - it's also a travel show. Think visually, like a director! What would make interesting subject matter for this hypothetical episode?
Since I thought of it, I'm claiming dibs on being the local "fixer" (the person that shows them around and arranges things when they're in town), so be nice to me if you're a fan, maybe we can do a group outing with the crew if we succeed in getting them here.
I'm thinking any show here would almost have to center around Derby, but I'm open to being persuaded otherwise. Now, it'd be nice if we could get it together in time to convince them to do it this May, but I think we have to be prepared that this may be too short of a time line, so we may have to shoot for next year, or perhaps we could do something during the fall meet. I'd appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.
Join the group! And invite everyone you know! Thanks in advance
