Through a series of nearly inexplicable circumstances (somehow facilitated by margaritas and MySpace), I’ve got a meeting with some development and marketing folks at here! this Friday to talk about digital media strategy and (possibly) pitch them on developing original online content.[1]

I can hear the collective “um…qoui?” The answer is that I don’t know, either. This could be something, or it could not, and I’m not sure how much of that will actually depend what I talk about on Friday. Until I walk out of there, tho, it’s probably best to treat it as a potential Big Opportunity, and be prepared to pitch myself and my ideas from here to Chelsea.

Natrually, I’m not getting any work done. This evening, I’ve managed a survey of their existing online offerings, plus some research on the management and business model. Translation: I read some stuff online, futzed around with my TiVo, and posted to my blog. Worker bee, indeed.

So, any ideas on what you’d want to see from a gay internet-saavy television channel? I mean, beyond the standard “I can’t get your gay channel from my homophobic cable company, so let me download your shows on iTunes” and “free porn!“? I’m talking fancy futuristic stuff that enriches your viewing experience. For instance, being able to tell the whole world how you’ve been nailed by the undead, and it’s way more fun than it looked on last night’s Dante’s Cove.

Seriously, I’ve got a ton of ideas stored up for just such a creative emergency, I’m just having brain-to-keyboard problems at the moment, hence the birth of this post.

Back to work and/or bed. Which do you think it will be?
