A bunch of bars in Boston have installed this thing called barcast (
www.barcast.tv). It is a giant LCD TV displaying messages of various things. At any point in time, it could be showing movie previews, trivia, or contests. The screen above is showing a Halloween costume contest asking voters to rate the costume. You can see at the bottom you can also send in text messages.
The thing about barcast is they are all connected. The screens all show the same thing regardless of what bar you are at. Sometimes the text messages at the bottom will be like "Hot chicks, please come to Our House West" and things of that nature. The last time I was at Sunset, there was a "Hottest Bartender" competition going on on-screen. I guess it is an interesting concept.
The only real interest I would have in this is sending embarassing pictures to barcast while me and my friends are at the bar. Maybe I will try this when Beth is here. I do not know what the success rate of embarassment this service offers. However, one time Barron was in the bathroom, and I was watching the screen and I see this screen:
Guess which one Barron sent? Hint: it does not involve cougars or Giants.
