I heard about it through the internet grapevine:

Looks like "Fort Wayne Reader presents Live On Stageâ€¦" is a go for Saturday night at 1 am (I guess that's Sunday). It's on WISE 33 right after the season premier of SNL. It's absolutely 100% on. The first episode stars the Legendary Trainhoppers. Tell everyone you knowâ€¦ and record it with that fancy computer gizmo you got, where you can burn it to DVD. I don't know what it's called. Your modern ways confuse and frighten me.

Awesome! Talk about some cool growth!

LLC should be on there as well as Orange Opera. I think they've all filmed a segment.

This is so cool!

I was thinking it would be cool to feature some of our talented grafitti artists works. That would be, as the kids say; dope.

I don't have that fancy schmancy technology. And I refuse to record it with a VCR. It's impossible to watch a VHS tape now. Drives me f'ing nuts.

Yeah, it would be real DOPE if the camera guys could get a real, clean shot of their faces as they do their work & then the "anti-graf network" could just sit back, watch local TV & reap the fruits of other's labor.

I said their works not the artists! I'm no fool! Mr. T taught me well!

It would be cool to see 'em all masked up and painting though.
