MEET THE 2.0 PORTER FAMILY
This family loves playing video games and watching movies together. 7 busy schedules, however -- made even more hectic by their outdated tech -- keep them apart more than they'd like. Gurus, make this neighborhood hangout a 2.0 standout!

See the upgrade!

The Porters are an energetic and loving family of seven! The business of family and family business are very important to the Porters. Kent’s a traveling salesman with a salon in the basement. Melinda’s a mom with her hands full, with 5 kids to keep track of. Mom and Dad and their kids Johnny, Tommy, Billy, CeCe, and Anna enjoy gaming and watching movies together. The Gurus have their work cut out for them with this busy hive of activity.
Those who made it possible

No show is ever truly put on by one person, and this was never more the case in Ft. Wayne where we had the support of these excellent folks. Without them we couldn't have done it, so we would like to take a moment to tip our hats, incline our heads, and offer up our most sincere thanks for all their help...
Looks like everyone is having fun!

Immediately following the Porter reveal, the boys Johnny, Tommy, and Billy wasted no time and dove right in to the technological sea of goodies we blessed them with.
I just hope that the boys are sharing with their sisters, mom and dad. Guru Lloyd doesn't like it when you don't share!

In one shady corner of the Porter backyard, just beside where we currently have our production tents set up, is the family's chicken coop....
BEFORE PRODUCTION
Five kids active in school, sports, and online games; a mom who tries to keep up with them using a calendar attached to the fridge door; a dad who wants to work from home... all sharing one computer! The Porter family thrives on together time, but they'd rather game together than wait in line to log on one at a time. Helping them get the technology that they need to keep up with work, school, and home is just part of the picture. Upgrading their house, where friends and family hang out and play games, will also help the Porters remain the social hub of the neighborhood, making sure the family that plays together stays together.
2.0 Family plays together, stays together
