It's really where it all began, without it we can't survive, we couldn't live. Without that most basic of needs we would quickly go insane. Human nature dictates the need to converse, we are a social animal. Now that most ancient of human traits is being expanded beyond all recognition. Today we are pleased to be able to take our conversational experience to another level. Taking something that we all do, in our own homes to another level completely. Now we ask you to join in our global chat from around our table. Around The Table.TV is a global test bed of future communications. Neither distance, gender nor persuasion is a barrier. You are cordially invited to join us in what we hope will be the biggest social experiment since the invention of the Internet. Global chat around our virtual table. Each of your ideas, thoughts & perspectives is a "drop" that makes our "ocean of conversation". No rules except common courtesy, no barriers except your own imagination. All are welcome to join in this ground breaking seminar of global interactive discussion. We aim to make it as easy to participate as a conversation should be. No registration, no conformation, no delay. You can tweet, Facebook, text or call, anyone with an Internet connection can attend. You can even come along in person. All are welcome in our global living room. Around The Table.TV is just what it pronounces to be. A fully televised discussion from around a beautiful table. Broadcast live across the Internet, no cuts, no retakes, just as conversation should be. Bring your opinions, bring a sleeping bag & stay over. We are bringing chat from http://www.aroundthetable.tv to your home, to your office, wherever you may be, whatever you may be doing, all are welcome. The Format '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' The Table will be situated in the centre of the floor surrounded by "the audience", there will be chairs at the table which will be occupied by whoever wants to be there. There will be a pot in which we can put our suggestions subjects for discussion at the table. Every 30 minutes, one new subject will be randomly selected. Each person at the table can discuss the subject for 60 seconds then allow someone else to take it up if anyone wants to. At the end of 30 minutes a 5 minute summing up of the discussion will take place, then a new subject will be selected. If our table is full and someone wishes to participate, we will request a volunteer to surrender their seat if no one wishes to do so we will draw straws. We would like to create the feeling of your home and invite you to bring snacks, food, etc to share - there will be soup, a bottomless coffee pot and teapot. This is the third of a series of experimental events in this genre and it will be videoed and broadcast live over the Internet. The video will also be edited down and distilled into capsules to be shown on the Internet at a later date. Those who are watching on the web will be able to interact with the discussions through social media streams on the website http://www.aroundthetable.tv and Twitter which will be projected on a large screen in the venue, these contributions will be fed into the ongoing discussions and back out through the web cast, maximising the potential synergy of the event. http://www.twitter.com/aroundtabletv - follow us and interact with the discussion using @Aroundtabletv We are also encouraging people to host and video similar events in their home town and upload them to Youtube which we will embed on the http://www.aroundthetable.tv/ website Event info '''''''''''' When: - October 31st - Halloween Sunday 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm Where: @ The Tor Leisure Centre, Street Road, Glastonbury, Somerset.
