Another Amazon order

Ordered 288 more boxes.

Totals: $4,086 in donations
2623 boxes ordered

Considering that many, many people have sent their own orders of Rice-A-Roni to NBC, (many of those orders being for multiple boxes and/or cases), the fact that City Harvest only claims to have gotten 400 boxes still doesn't sound possible to me. I'm still wondering if they're not reporting a "box" as "one box" even when it contains several boxes of Rice-A-Roni.

Hopefully we'll get some answers on this! One thing I'm sure of is that between our orders here and individual people sending in boxes, NBC has received and signed for well beyond 400 boxes, (and over 2000 from the donations here, not counting all the individual shipments). What they've done with them at this point is still in question.

Stay tuned!

Some tracking numbers

Here are some tracking numbers from various shipments. This should be MOST of the shipments, but I may have missed a few.

Hey gang!

Once again, sorry for the delay. I will have an update tomorrow!

I got a comment in my last entry saying City Harvest has only received 400 boxes of Rice-A-Roni. Something is extremely fishy about that, as NBC has received wayyyyy more than that. Some of my Amazon orders were slow in fullfilment, but NBC has signed and accepted far more than that. The only thing I can think is that City Harvest was only counting CASES or boxes that contained multiple boxes of RAR as "one box." If anyone wants to look into that for me, please do.

As I said, I'll update with donations and new orders tomorrow, and dig up all the package tracking numbers to confirm that all the Amazon orders have been delivered.

Again, something is fishy, as I've places orders of over 300 boxes of Rice-A-Roni from EACH of 3 or 4 different online vendors, and I've only had one Amazon shipment refused (which I then reordered), so NBC had received way more than that. Perhaps they have given some of the RAR to other charities, or maybe they're holding onto a large quantity at this point.

If I get a chance, I'll do some digging with the folks at City Harvest and NBC, but if anyone else wants to do the legwork on that it would be MUCH appreciated.

Back soon!

The weekly Journeyman streaming event continues!

Thanks Serulous for this info:

The streaming events have been really gaining steam! Monday is our third streaming event. Pass it onto other Journeyman fan you know!! The last two Mondays, traffic was up noticeably at nbc.com. There are some really quick things you can do to make the streaming events even more effective. Send the execs a quick email, click the ads while you stream and contact the advertisers during the week. If you find advertiser contact info post it here: http://savejourneyman.net/forums/index.php/topic,5.0.html. Also post there which advertisers you saw during your stream. More details below.

Monday's (1/21) Streaming Event, Episode 3: Game Three:

-Stream Journeyman episode #3, "Friendly Skies," on Monday (1/21) on NBC.com. By request, we've added a Pacific time to stream as well. So stream at 10 p.m. EST(Journeyman's regular time-slot). and/or 10 p.m. PST (regular time for the network folks out in LA).

-If you can't make it at 10 p.m., then stream at another time on 1/21.

-Spread the word. Email other Journeyman fans. Post this info on other boards. Watch it with someone who hasn't seen the show before if you can.

-Send a quick email to the execs that you watched the show. Get creative with subject lines for emails so the emails get around filtering. As always be polite. Great example of an email sent last week below.

Jack Abernathy CEO FOX jack.abernathy@fox.com

President and Chief Executive Officer of FX Networks: peter.ligouri@fox.com

Entertainment President at FOX kevin.reilly@fox.com

Jeff Zucker CEO NBC jeff.zucker@nbcuni.com

-Let the advertisers know we're watching. They pay the bills at NBC, so it's good to let them know. Easy way? Click on the ads when you stream. A few minutes of time during the week? Send an email or call the advertisers.

-Enjoy the episode! Shouldn't be hard - it's a great episode. Comment on http://savejourneyman.net/forums/ on nbc.com afterwards.

As usual, feel free to post this on other sites, facebook groups, myspace pages, blogs, livejournal, gardening sites (just checking if people are paying attention on that last one but most sites do have a general interest section).

Here's a quote of a letter one poster emailed to the execs after the last streaming event:

Quote from: kevbo65 on January 15, 2008, 11:46:00 AMI just sent the following note to the gentlemen listed at Fox and NBC...

Subject line: Great show last night!!!

I rewatched the 2nd episode of Journeyman last night on the website at the time that it used to be on the television. This is one great show! It looks like I will become a regular viewer of this show on the web as it is excellently written and the acting is top notch...
