What the heck is Dating on Demand?!?
I thought you went out to a place like 2039 to try to find a mate. But tonight is something a little different at the downtown ultralounge. In conjunction with radio station Power 106, 2039 is hosting a Dating On Demand night.
Dating on Demand?!? That's what I thought too. So I did some sleuthing and discovered that Dating On Demand is a service offered by Comcast that allows you to browse singles in the area via your TV remote. Tonight, Comcast will have a camera crew at 2039 to film profiles for interested singles.
There are already some Fresno profiles up on the site (just select Fresno on the bottom right). Judging from the cowboy hats, they must've already filmed at Jimbo's. The whole thing rings of old Love Connection videos, if you ask me. But in an era where everybody wants to be on TV, it makes sense -- as long, ya know, the idea of potential suitors or suitorettes finding you via the On-Demand button doesn't creep you out.
In addition to the Comcast filming, tonight's event will feature music from DJ Felipe Avelar, a fashion show with Catwalk and Kristen Ferry and a performance from Los Angeles-based singer Rory.

Dude, we should send a blogger to this event and have him or her report back. We could send - let's see - who is single and blogs for the Beehive?
S***. Never mind.

Hmmm...I was just looking over the profiles, and yah. HMac, if you're going to do it, you might wanna go to SF and do so...cuz I don't think you'll be able to hide your intelligent answers or put that you're 18-21.
There was one girl who I'm PRETTY sure was making up answers and being hilarious...her hobby is 'cheese.' If she's kidding, she's funny...

So how did the dating on demand night go? Was there a huge turn out? I viewed some of the profiles on the tube last night, and they all seemed to be a little fake or rehearsed?

So how was the turn out for the dating on demand @2039? Was it a huge success? :) I viewed some of the profiles on demand last night and kind of on the fence about the whole thing. Are people sure they want everyone to see them anytime they want on the tube? Oh well to each it's own. Some of the profiles do look a little rehearsed or fake dont they?

It was such a fun event...I really had a great time although I didn't do the Dating on Demand thing...but I think I will in the future...The folks at Power 106 were jammin, the fashion was cool, but short..and the singer Rory was awesome...
