Show length and such?

After Omaha, i feel that it might be worth discussing reducing the number of acts for each of the Kansas City WDD's.
There are a number of reasons i think this would be practical and also provide for a more entertaining show.
First, I think that the number of acts we had perform in Omaha could be edited down to multiple episodes taken from the show. Nothing tricky - there would be no claims that the individual episodes were taken from multiple performances at the Bemis Center. The Episodes could be labeled "Whoop Dee Doo Bemis Center 8/9/08 Episode 1 of 3". That's a mega-shitty title, but something that gets across the same point with more flair.
Anyway, for the Kansas City shows, if we had fewer performers per monthly show we could make a much greater effort to become acquainted with the performers' work prior to the show and take the expectations that we have for certain performers to better fin-tune the details as to how we could most effectively present those performers. Maybe with a better prior understanding of the performers we could figure out ways to better encourage the audience to interact with the performers and such.
Also, with fewer acts we could better get across to them what we expect of their participation - or maybe a better way to put it would be that we could get across to the performers what they should expect when performing at WDD.
We could also possibly do small pre-show interviews with the performers as a method of being better prepared for talking to them on the show if they feel comfortable with an interview and what have you. Most likely, it would work best for the interview to be done by Jaimie and myself and possibly others from WDD if there's interest.
Also, with fewer performers, and an efficiently laid-out schedule of acts we could cut down on lag time between acts. i know that the main goal is to produce a video of the event but i feel that if the show keeps as much a steady rhythm going it could possibly go a long way in producing a greater level of genuine excitement and interest on the part of the audience - and i think that would be noticeable in the final video.
not to say that that the goal would be to completely eliminate downtime during the filming because i think that downtime was of interest to the audience in Omaha.
Whatever.
