Well, they're at it again! Last week Jordan did a personal, live Q & A, via UStreamTV. It was hosted by Travis Jayner, who was reading the questions as the audience submitted them. They stayed with us for 2-1/2 hours, and it was lots of fun! This time they're coming to us from Sofia, Bulgaria, where they're in town for the World Championships. It's only scheduled for an hour this time - but if you missed the first one, trust me, it'll be an hour well-spent. The whole men's team will be participating this time!From Jordan's Fan Page on FB: www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Jordan-Malone/299084645151?ref=ts Mens Team Webcast Details...

Since I'm old enough to be their mom, I found this whole thing too funny. Flashbacks to the sleep overs my kids had and all the laughter, jokes, and raiding the fridge for drinks and snacks. Bet this is a nice diversion for them and breaks up the hotel monotony. Next time maybe they could dedicate 15 minutes at the top of the show for short track questions. LOL Either way, it's great to see them having such a good time.

Well, they snuck one in on us - Jordan gave short notice on this one, but they recorded it: JR / SIMON / JORDAN - about 22 minutes www.ustream.tv/recorded/5540370 It was really a nice recording - some decent questions and some serious answers. Good job guys! |

Michelle posted a bit of a blogger's impression of the webcast on the IT Blog - a good read. (Scroll down to the March 13 entry - "Jordan and Travis' Live Chat") therockerfund.wordpress.comI love that ALL of the skaters are getting out there and relating to the fans - and it's paying off. Not taking anything away from Apolo (the guy is an amazing ambassador for the sport), it's nice to see people appreciating the other wonderful men and ladies who are part of his team. Along those lines, I loved this clever comment from a reader on the blog: "Apolo and JR are the most high profile, I guess, so I think of them as like the gateway drug for the fandom." Gateway Drug? Good one! +++ ![]() guingel.livejournal.com/324796.htmlASK BEFORE POSTING IN ENTIRETY And Iggy wrapped up the game at 9, which was very important because I had to go to awesome Jordan Malone's awesome short track speedskating online streaming fan interview. SO AWESOME. Such an unbelievably nice thing to do. Oh my god. I need to go to sleep except I'm still so pumped about how cute it was. I can't believe how nice and positive and generous that kid is - his teammates also, but him in particular. Travis Jayner helped out too, he's a *bad word* cutie. They all just seem like good guys, and the more they share of themselves, the more they seem like good guys, which is. . . not usual. OK, so Malone is a John Mayer fan but whatever. XD He's already been posting these amazing Olympics videos on his Facebook fan page and generally being precious and taking a lot of time to give back to his fans. But now he actually set up a Ustream live video chat thing, where we could message them questions. Of course some of the fans were idiots and people kept asking for JR, which is the dumbest, most obnoxious thing ever. And yet, both Jordan and Travis kept incredibly good-humored throughout the whole thing, and never were sarcastic or anything like that, always with the positive attitude. So, so nice. I was just cooing. I was very happy I cut my darts evening short, well worth it! (Also, the subways cooperated with me beautifully, it was the best thing ever!) They talked for like 2 and a half hours - that is, Jordan talked, Travis was mostly there to monitor the questions coming in and ask them, which was a really great idea because he could be scanning and Jordan could just talk. And he can talk! Hahaha, so cute. The littlest question would get him off on a big tangent, which was fantastic - he was just sharing stuff, rather than just limiting himself to what people asked. Also at the end Travis spoke in French which was unbelievably hot. Oh, and we got to see Jordan's absurdly lovable dog, Oly. It was great. I love being a short track fan. The sport is so much fun to watch, and Team USA are sort of. . . wholesome? But not in a manufactured way? Just in a way we're they're all a basically nice bunch, they all get along and are pleasant. And it's great to be a fan because Jordan (and others to a much lesser extent, although all the boys are on twitter - girls seem less active there) shares so much behind the scenes stuff! Makes me happy. Even though some of them are older than me I wanna be like "Aww, they're good kids" you know? OK I don't think I got all the alcohol out of my system. . . or maybe it is pure joy running through me at my Olympics fandom run-ins this evening. XDDD[/img] |

Those boys are awesome! I love watching their webchats! What I don't love is the sheer amount of rather young girls with one track minds! Ugh...is this really what the tweens/teenagers have turned into! Remind me to lock up my boys! LOL!

Oh, wanted to add, they did talk a lot about ST in this webchat, it was a nice change of pace from the typical fluffy questions! LOL!
Apolo may have drawn my eye to ST, but the rest of the ST Skaters have kept me coming back for more and more and more!

LLLLLLLLIVE, from beautiful downtown District of Columbia... (Not exactly 'live' - well, not 'live' at all - it was last night - but it makes the announcement sound better...) Anyhow, there was a webchat last night, and it included Jordan, Travis, Alyson, Ryan Bedford and Simon Cho. Awww, you missed it The good news is that they recorded it - all 84 minutes and 35 seconds of it: www.ustream.tv/recorded/6329851  |

When I click on this link it says "Video made private by owner" Does anyone know why Jordan made this video private? |
