Now, this may sound crazy to the more conventional internet users out there, but I've been thinking like an entrepreneuer lately when it comes to the TFP. I'm not talking about shopping out the website or putting ads up.. or anything like that. Instead, I've been thinking of new things to do in the world, putting the TFP's influence into them.

I'm reluctant to go into much detail right now, but two ideas that are fairly fun and prevalent would be:

Tilted Cafe Project - Coffee House/Bar that would be *like* a Starbucks in that you buy your drink and sit down in comfy chairs. That's where the similarities stop. The premise of the TFP is that people have civil, mature conversation about various topics. Adding this element as a standard feature of the Project warps the concept into more of a Salon like they used to have back in the day. Now add a little modern computer technology - maybe double as an internet cafe. The appeal of this is.. nobody is doing it. Location is key, and you'd be surprised that I've thought this out fairly well. I just need motivation for these kinda things - I'm very ambitious.

Tilted Broadcast Project - I just watched UHF for like the 20th time. This is gonna be simple. If I can find that movie hilarious, then others can too. Unrefined, shamelessly degenerated television programs have a place in this society. Look at South Park - it didn't start out as much more than a cardboard cartoon about little kids in a silly adult world. Most of today's phenomenons are shameless and unsuspecting. Look at the guy selling his ex's wedding dress. Look at the TRON costume guy. Look at Star Wars Boy. I think that kinda mentality could translate well to TV. Everything nowadays is so refined and calculated. Lesbian Nazi Hookers; abducted by UFOs and forced into weight loss programs! All this week on Town Talk! - The TV station would have to be local of course, but the programming would be CHEAP and inspired by the same humor that fueled the cult classic UHF.

So... lofty ideas, I know. All it takes is a little investment from a rich guy with a sense of humor.

Any thoughts?

(All ideas are MINE!!!! This is documented and I have witnesses.)
