Being a part of Jet Set Zero is like being in an indie band: no one knows who you are or really understands what you’re doing, and everyone either thinks your ballsy, or incredibly stupid. But you do it for the love of your art– for us, our “sound” is the unique feel of our content and our personalities. You feel our sound the best in Season 1; you hear it best in Season 3. Ultimately, though, a little recognition goes a long way.

So we have a press list, that cost us a lot to acquire *cough*westoleit*cough*, and Outlook has this great feature called Mail Merge. So basically, you write up a press release and send it out to a brilliant friend to review, then hold your breath while it shoots out to over 3000 contacts.

Is this spam? Probably. But when you’re a struggling indie production company, you need to bend the rules every once in awhile.

This process occurred sometime around October, with my tiny MacBook sending out emails on turbo. Well, aside from a smalltown retiree newsletter, we got very little response… that is, except for a small magazine called NATIONAL MOTHERFUCKING GEOGRAPHIC.

So our thanks go out to the editors of NMFG for putting another blip of recognition on the radar screen of our lives. Go out and buy your copy of the March National Geographic Traveler today!
