The live shot that wasn't

So, Wildfire was supposed to be on TV this week. We got a pleasant phone call from the friendly producer of San Antonio Living, the morning lifestyle show that airs on WOAI (Channel 4.)

Sweet!

They wanted to use the coffee shop as a backdrop for a story about moms taking their kids back to school and stopping in for a much-needed coffee fix. We are less than a block away from Huebner Elementary, after all. Wow. They didn't call a chain. They didn't call the corporate giant. They called little mom-n-pop Wildfire Coffee.

Cool!

They showed up on time, got everything set up. Ready to go. Drinks in hand. Makeup retouched. Only. They couldn't get the live truck to work.

DOH!

Sadly, we never made it on air.

But we did get a picture of what you would have seen if you had tuned in and if the production guys HAD gotten the live shot up.

I hope no one got fired.
