I announced a contest on twitter & facebook today to win a #freeptv. 140 characters doesn’t really suffice when explaining the contest, so I thought I’d move over to tumblr.

What’s a PTV? It’s a handy little personal television that you can use on the go. Along with Sometimesdaily episodes you’ll get tons of familiar TV channels and lots of great live entertainment too. You can find out all the details about the product here. The device comes with a free 6 month contract, so that’s taken care of.

Anyone in the USA can win. All you have to do is tweet me or leave a tweet-sized comment on my facebook wall saying why you think you should win a PTV, tag it with #freeptv and the person with the most creative answer wins the device! Pretty simple, right? You can tweet as many answers as you want to maximize your chance of winning. I will mail you the PTV if you cannot pick it up in person at the Streaming Media West Mixer on Tuesday, November 17 at 7pm in San Jose. Of course, I’d prefer to see you there so we can finally hang out IRL! ;) The mixer is free and there’s an open bar! I hope you will join me. Thanks to FLO TV and Streaming Media West for making this contest possible.

Lately I feel like somebody made a big mess and I’ve got my mop and I’m mopping the floor and the folks who made the mess are there (saying) ‘you’re not mopping fast enough. You’re not mopping the right way. It’s a socialist mop.’

Sometimesdaily is now on TiVO. We are super stoked about this. AWESOME Sometimesdaily fan, Stephen Ramsey, created a video explaining how to subscribe to our show. We’re going to be adding this video to our subscription options on Sometimesdaily.com but until then I thought I’d post it up here. Thanks Stephen!

I’m very proud to be this week’s “Girl to Watch”. If you aren’t familiar with Girl2Watch you can learn about their mission here or follow them on Twitter @Girl2Watch.

If you want to read some interviews with me and/or see some snazzy high def pics check out these links:

Editor’s Note on this week’s Girl2Watch (aka me)

Lots of great pics - many of them *brand new* and never seen before on the interwebs

“Best of” Sometimesdaily - pretty self explanatory!

Some fun and random facts about me - it’s true I adore 90s hip-hop and have a hula-hoop fetish

Too funny how tag me with the word “blonde”. LOL!

In August I decided I really wanted to go on tour again a la Amanda Across America. I got to meet *so* many cool people when I traveled across the country last time.. and the project was a success. BUT! one thing was wrong. I WENT TOO FAST! There were days where I’d wake up not knowing what city I was in because I had driven 12 hours the day before and needed to wake up, interview a politician/environmental activist/web celeb and then drive 12 more hours. So this time we’re taking our time visiting many different climates and cultures across Hawaii, Northern California, Colorado and the American Southwest. Why did we pick these locations? Well, our car is currently in CA making them the most accessible, most of the cities are not too rainy which is preferable when shooting video outside, AND we want to visit with Grammy in Hawaii. :) We’ll be stopping in cities, towns and rural places, but will be largely ignoring the suburbs.

Today and tomorrow we are selling, packing and storing… and then we’re off to the SF Bay area— our first stop on the “We’re New Here” Tour!

“WE’RE NEW HERE” SCHEDULE*

Oct 5-Nov 30: SF Bay Area, rural

Dec 1-5: Drive to Phoenix stopping along the way

Dec 5-Jan 4: Phoenix

Jan 5-16: Hawaii (the big island, maui, oahu), city and rural

Jan 17-Feb 17: Denver

Feb 17-Feb 28: Drive to Austin stopping along the way

Mar 1-30: Austin, SXSW, city

April 1-4: Drive back to LA

*Times and places are tentative, aside from the SF Bay area and Austin dates which are certain.

Types of videos you’ll see:

AMANDA-ON-THE-STREETS

SKETCHES

PERFORMANCE ART

INTERVIEWS

AMANDA’S 10, a list of 10 things I present directly to the camera via my iSight

And our new documentary style segment, SOMETIMESDAILY EXPLORERS!!!

Like I said in the video, all of your thoughts about places to go, things to do, people to interview are most desired! I’m partial to road side attractions, natural wonders, super friendly people, things techy but not too technical, and the bizarre. I’ll be querying you for ideas in the coming months… and hope you’ll jump in to add your advice as we go! If we feature your submission in a video we will be giving credit and a link… the video will be distributed online at sometimesdaily.com and on FLO TV - Mobile TV. At the conclusion of the trip, the person whose suggestions were implemented the most will win a cool prize— and don’t worry it won’t be something lame like a t-shirt or something!
