Arctic Entries’ Upcoming Season Announced

The following announcement arrived in the townsquare49.org inbox last night.  Everyone around the world headquarters is really excited about the upcoming season of Arctic Entries.  If you haven’t heard about the project, check out their site: arctic-entries.com.  While you’re there, check out their logo design contest.

Hello Friends, Storytellers and Supporters!

Season Three of Arctic Entries is a mere month away. We are as excited as can be! With so many big changes at the end of last year, we wanted to transition you all slowly into the next season. Deep breaths and trust falls. So now that we have covered that, we have decided to turn Arctic Entries into a group dance competition wherein a three-judge panel (we have our fingers crossed for Bristol!) and an applause-o-meter determine who should advance much like the seminal movie You Got Served. Writer/Director Chris Stokes really goes for that authentic urban feel with the sideways ball caps and what some might call the overuse of the word “crew” in the dialogue, a real master. Fellini would be proud.

So now that it is understood that the last few sentences were a joke, and you have wiped the tears that have undoubtedly welled up in your eyes from laughter, let’s get down to business. We are happy to announce Season Three’s Themes and Hosts!

So tell your friends, get your “crew” together and pitch your story at arctic-entries.com

Hosts:
Sometimes change is hard. Much like your parent’s divorce or the untimely death of a pet, we could never replace James and Tara. But we are certain that you will like Arctic Entries new friend…err…hosts. It is with great pleasure that Arctic Entries announces our two new Hosts, Matt Rafferty and Emily Fehrenbacher.

Matt Rafferty, former candidate for the American Presidency, made a stunning transformation from an overweight, conservative accountant in Boston to a skinny, progressive, moose-hunting conservationist in Alaska. Thankfully, his Neil Diamond impersonating alter-ego survived the transformation. After his stellar performance telling his story on our show entitled “The Grind,” the storyboard knew he could handle the reigns as co-host of the show.

Born and raised in the suburban sprawl of Chicago, Emily Fehrenbacher came to Alaska in ’08 for the trees, mountains and politics. After realizing that being a progressive in Alaska was exactly like being a Chicago Cubs fan, she decided to stay. Her zest for life and a nervous high-kick at our “Road Trips” show endeared her to us. She joins Matt as a co-host this season.

We, your friends and neighbors, hope to see you this season. Dates for the shows are still being nailed down. You can keep up to date by following us on twitter or facebook and as always Arctic-Entries.com.

Thanks,
