What an awesome year this has been, opportunities have been coming out of the wood work... and now this
Dave Gooch works for icecreamman.com they're a website that reports on large concerts and events... and while they're at it, they drive around in an ice cream truck and give away free ice cream!
How awesome is that? I actually met them last year at Awesomecon (where they weren't giving away free ice cream) and back then I'd said "I want to climb on board and give away ice cream with you guys one day"
So now my fingers are crossed that they pull this deal together with Adult Swim, Tim and Eric, and Awesomecon - cause seriously - how much more awesome would Awesomecon be with Raz giving you a Rocket pop?
For starters I'm back working in reality TV - I'll get to that in the future...
I've been dating this girl. If that's what you want to call it. I mean I suppose it fits. Thing is. there's a deadline. Come July we're splitzville. and honestly, for some reason, having that knowledge seems to have made this the best relationship I've ever had. Give or take, top 3 for sure.. I mean in order for it to really be the best I suppose it wouldn't end.
Anyway, that's neither here nor there. I just wanted to put it down for posterity sake.
My improv team Donut Video has been performing a lot and we recently got accepted in to the Del Close Marathon (which is a big deal in the community, I know people that didn't get in that are pissed). So end of July (after being really depressed from losing the best girl i've ever dated) something awesome happens and I go to New York with my team. that'll be amazing.
Also come End of July I think we turn over the keys for a Ford fiesta (which I've driven like 6 times)... I don't know, the whole thing barely existed for me except as stress and disappointments... I honestly had to fight for every ounce of fun I wanted to have. And I wish it had been a different event all together. I still love the things I actually got to do. but I just wanted so much more out of it.
Anyway Thursday our short film plays on the big screen in Burbank... but you can get the small screen version right here.
Finally I'm executive producing two shows. one with my fiesta partner Jen Friel (which I've talked about)...
but Also - and now introducing 'The AFK Show' - AFK will take you away from the keyboard and on location to some of the coolest new web shows being shot in Hollywood, by professionals, indies and even youtubers!
If you follow my twitter feed, you've probably already heard me talking about the AFKshow.
So what is it? I'm glad you asked, or at least read that question to yourself, there by creating a binding agreement for me to tell you.
AFK is your portal in to the world of the web's best creators. We'll step Away From the Keyboard and on set with creators of the newest and most interesting web serials and youtube videos.
Living in Hollywood I've been surrounded by the traditional media world for over a decade. As the shift to web production has grown, more and more LA based people turn to the web and more web people turn to LA.
We have the access, now we're going to bring you the buzz of what's cooking on the web.
Behind the scenes footage. Exclusive Interviews. Previews of things you may have otherwise missed.
This coming Monday we hold a casting for my would be co-host(s) and then we move on to begin filming a 3 part pilot and show the world not only what we're about, but what's happening on the web.
Head over to AFKshow.com and join us on the forum your thoughts, interests, and opinions will guide us to creating a show you like!
Bloggers: We're also looking for a few bloggers interested in web productions, different web series', youtubers, etc to blog for AFKshow.com
