1000th episode ideas

sound as though well planned out...
but rotating guests might make them dizzy 
Sounds great!

Looking forward to it. In terms of guests, can I suggest Leo Laporte, John C. Dvorak, Ryan Block, and Patrick Norton, all who have been great when they've appeared on BOL in the past?
Would it be at all possible to have the BOL theme song for that episode be played "LIVE"? Probably a tough feat, but it would be cool. Cooler still if Jonathan Coulton came in and did his own acoustic rendition, but now I'm just letting my geek imagination get away with me.
I think you could also touch on show memes that have come and gone throughout the 1000 episodes. Off the top of my head: cylon baby, The Molly Rant, Cooley hates space, Veronica's sound effects ("pew pew" when discussing Pew Research, the Murloc sound, etc.), Tom's best (and worst) segues, singing, "drink!", etc.
You should finish the show by listing 1000 Geek Names ala Hodgman's Hobo names. Okay, maybe skip that last bit.
Great idea, just toss in a party and it's complete

I love this idea.
Is it possible to include a live celebration meetup with it. Either during the show or that afternoon...
I think the 1000th needs to have a big party attached to it.
1000 Episode
by Stkxppro - 3/22/09 8:27 PM In reply to: Great idea, just toss in a party and it's complete by darthweefHey Guys I just have a few requests and suggestions for the 1000th episode.
1- If possible, please do not have an age limit on who can attend the meetup. I am 16 and LOVE BOL and would be super bummed if I could not come the the 1000th meetup. Also, please make the meetup on the east coast if possible of pay for my airfare (just kidding). And- TO Scott, Tom's boss- i would like to hear about how BOL was created and the whole story behind BOL (thank you in advance). Lastly, PLEASE have the meetup somewhere cool.
Thanks
LOVE BOL SO MUCH!
Steve from NJ

This episode needs to be longer than usual so that there is plenty of time to talk and reminisce about the past. Call it the "Evolution of BOL" if you want. I am all in for the idea of the viewer calls. I think you guys should get a hold of a couple of t-shirts to giveaway just like the old times.
On a side note, in Tom's original post: "Here's what I'm thinking for the |100th| episode, but I'd like your thoughts." It's 1000, not 100. Boo for typos. 
Longer celebration
by CraigPotts - 3/27/09 5:02 AM In reply to: All in by PacGamerThere is too much for one show.
We need clips from all the way back at the beginning. Why not start at show 990 with some clips including some of the past guests and hosts, especially ones that won't be able to make it for the actual 1000th show.
If it stretched out to show 1010 that would be great too!
Since before Veronica could speak - Love the show.
Sounds cool!

Except for the listener calls part...
Wonderful Idea!
by dextire - 3/19/09 5:00 PM In reply to: 1000th episode ideas by acedtect
The only thing I would change is the length of the show. This is a one in a 1000 special episode! It should be expected to go on for at least 2 hours. How the show got started, how it's changed, how it's going to change, favorite stories, favorite memories, it all adds up and shouldn't be rushed.
And maybe instead of reading the top stories, each person could pick a topic they are passionate about (DRM, Apple, Space, etc.) and discuss those as the stories of the day.
Man, Tom got me all excited about this formula and it may not even happen this way (and not for 3 months)!
Sounds great, Tom!

Looking forward to the show!
I say

The show should be nothing but a long high pitched beep.
As a protest of Internet censorship. Us Aussie geeks are really upset about this stuff
How about 1000 and 1001 on the same day?
by howl2z - 3/19/09 7:28 PM In reply to: 1000th episode ideas by acedtect
The concept sounds great. I would suggest not including the news of the day as part of the 1000th BOL. Keep 1,000 as a commemorative episode full of celebrating the amazing accomplishment - just as Tom has outlined, but for the news of the day. Maybe some classic "Heard it here firsts!" and "Boy, did we get that wrong!" with each special guest confessing their favorite hurray or awe crap. Then have a condensed 1001st episode with each of the special guests presenting their news of the day. The two shows would make the download/file sizes more manageable and extend the shelf life of the 1000th show. Unless there are some really great news stories, their relevance is diminished when you re-listen to the commemorative 1000th episode later.
(NT) Sounds like a fun, mega-show, extravaganza! :)

All Molly all the time...
by DarekMeridian - 3/20/09 7:53 AM In reply to: 1000th episode ideas by acedtect
Molly rocks and I think for the 1000th show it should be molly hosting.. all molly all the time.
