Doppelganger

Dop"pel*g["a]ng..er.., n. [G.] A spiritual or ghostly double or counterpart; esp., an apparitional double of a living person; a cowalker.


If you're reading this you may be thinking, "but... uh... didn't I just see you at blogs.myspace.com/behindthevroom? ...

Tis true tis true! We are now at the transition phase where Motorkult TV and Behind The Vroom now share the same space (air and soon to be, friend base) as each other! While we phase out Motorkult TV* we encourage you to tell all your friends to re-join us here, at Behind The Vroom.

Kinda like when the popular night club gets too crowded so all the cool kids start going to the other night club. Yeah... exactly like that! Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to add yourself to the friend list, so you can stay up to speed with the goings on at Behind The Vroom!

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for!!!!

The entries were posted, the votes came in, and we are excited to announce a winner for the Motorkult TV "Re-Name The Show Contest", just in time for a full month of engagements (see schedule below)!

It's been an interesting process and experiment and I appreciate everyone's participation. But enough about me! You want to know the results, so here they are, in Miss America style reverse order...

2nd runner up, with 17% of the votes is... "Mod Freak Showdown", submitted by Dennis Perez of Fontana, California! (Wow- that sounds like a cool show!)...

1st runner-up (which took me about 20 years to figure out isa nice way of saying 2nd Place) with 33% of the votes is... "Modtime TV", also a show I would watch, also submitted by... Dennis Perez of Fontana, California!


And the winning entry, coming in with 50% of the votes... submitted by Brian Cupples of Riverside, Ca.... [drumroll please] "Behind the Vroom"! Pret-ty interesting to say the least!

Brian wins the GRAND DADDY BIG OL' BADASS prize package which includes:
* An exclusive "STAFF" t-shirt or polo (obviously, only available to staff, and Brian!)
* An "Associate Producer" Byline for the first 5 episodes, because that always looks good on paper;
* An entire episode based on his suggestion/request
* Free trinkets, swag or other merchandise for a full year!
* Unlimited bragging rights

And because I'm that way, we'll be sending Dennis a t-shirt as well!



Each entry is a great name *and* interesting concept for a show and I appreciate the input from you- the fans. Who knows, we might even spin off a couple shows as a result of this contest! We've only got one week before a full schedule of engagements so exactly how to transition to the new moniker will be tricky! Look for us at the following Southern California events in August:


Aug 1-3 2008
MINI Takes The States @ Pasadena/Rose Bowl

Aug 9 2008
Hot Import Nights/Night Shift @ Pomona Fairplex

Aug 10 2008
Big SoCalEuro Gathering 2008 @ Qualcomm Stadium

Aug 14-16 2008 8:00A
New Media Expo @ Las Vegas Convention Center

And the nominees are..

We received a wealth of suggestions for what to re-name the show too. The Motorkult TV Staff pondered each one and narrowed down the list to something manageable. Then it was off to the patent office (virtually, of course). This took a few of the best suggestions off the list, and finally, off to check for domain names and other potential conflicts. This brought the list of contenders to what you see below. Now, the fun begins, as this is where you vote on your favorite!





How to vote:

1) Go to MotorkultTV.com
2) Click on "Vote Now"
3) Vote for your favorite!


It's that easy!! And don't forget to check back on July 28th, as we announce the winner, LIVE ON NATIONAL TELEVISION!*

*Not live, not on TV.

After two seasons (12 episodes, 10 posted) Motorkult TV is shifting gears (no pun intended) and needs a new name to go along with a new format.

The show will still be about the auto enthusiast lifestyle. We will still cover some of the coolest Southern California car events and meet the folks behind the Southern California "car culture". But if I tell you anymore, it blows the anticipation! I can tell you this- In the new format YOU ARE THE SHOW!! And this is why it makes perfect sense to solicit the Motorkult TV audience for a cool, new moniker!

The creator of the winning entry will receive:

* An exclusive "STAFF ONLY t-shirt or polo
* An "Associate Producer" Byline for the first 5 episodes
* An entire episode based on your suggestion
* Free trinkets, swag or other merchandise developed in the following 12 months
* Unlimited bragging rights


CONTEST FAQ:

"How do I Enter?"

* Post your submission as a comment on the Motorkult TV blog "(Re)Name The Show Contest!" entry:


* Submissions will be collected until Midnight (11:59:59 PM), July 19, 2008.
* A poll will be created for each entry and voting will be open from Midnight, July 20th to Midnight, July 27th, 2008.

"How is the Winning Entry Chosen?"

* The top 5 entries will be cross-checked for trademark/copyright issues, and domain name availability.
* Only those submissions that pass through this check will be given final consideration.
* The winning entry will be chosen by the Motorkult TV staff based on a set of criteria including creativity, marketability, uniqueness, etc.
* The submitter will be contacted via email.

"What do I Win?" The creator of the winning entry will receive:

* An exclusive "Staff" t-shirt or polo
* An "Associate Producer" Byline for the first 5 episodes
* An entire episode based on your suggestion
* Free trinkets, swag or other merchandise developed in the following 12 months
* Unlimited bragging rights

"Are there Restrictions?"

* This show is PG-13 (mostly). Name appropriately. :)
* The show covers all elements of the auto enthusiast lifestyle- Tuners, imports, track cars, dragsters, muscle cars, classics, etc. The new name should reflect this- in other words, it should not refer to a certain segment or type of car.

Additional questions can be posted on the Motorkult TV blog "(Re)Name The Show Contest!" entry (motorkulttv.blogspot.com/2008/07/re-name-show-contest.html) or as a comment on this (MySpace) blog posting.

We appreciate everyone's interest and input to Motorkult TV thus far and are pretty sure you will appreciate the new show even more!

Sincerely, Motorkult TV Crew and Staff
