I just got back from my live phone interview with ManiaTV.com. ManiaTV is a cool, unique thing where they broadcast a 24-hour, live, internet television channel with very attractive CJs (that's cyber-jockeys). (They also use the same font for their logo that we use on our site - explain that one, ManiaTV!) I was chosen as a featured filmmaker for "Sweepstakes II," a sketch from "Old School Revenge." "Sweepstakes" will be airing each night this week during the "Too Short for Hollywood" show, and you can also request it (and the Playground sketch) to be played again. Let 'em know you want to see more Spider Monkey.
During the interview, Erin asked me about my inspiration for making "Sweepstakes" and what new projects I am working on. After it was all over she stood in front of a wall of a thousand TVs for about an hour.

It's a famous newspaper. And last week, they printed an article about the Channel101/102 phenomenon. Near the bottom comes this:
The New York City-based Channel 102 does not have quite the following of its Los Angeles counterpart yet, but at its second gathering, held earlier this month on the Lower East Side, a group of about 100 revelers crowded into the back of the Parkside Lounge, voting on shows like "Jesus Christ Supercop," "Locked in a Closet" and "Lightning Brains."
So, from now on, it's "The Silly Spider Monkey Fiasco, As Mentioned In The New York Times."

April Fool's Day is over and if you visited the web site any time in the past four weeks, you were part of the most elaborate prank in Internet history. You may have thought that the site was down for almost a month, but it was just a joke! I know, it's pretty clever, but we couldn't have done it alone. We really need to give a big shout out to our web hosting friends at Powweb for taking the first step by shutting us down and refusing to reinstate us despite our reasoned pleas. Thanks, guys!

PS: To celebrate the end of our month-long gag, we've added a new menu selection for "shorts" on the bar to the right. Now you can quickly access all the recent short videos from our site without having to search the archives.
