I completely flipped when I was asked to make an appearance on G4’s “Attack of the Show”! I’ve been an uber fan for a while. I mean, tech, comedy, video games, pop, news, and all things digital? They practically made this show for me! It was so much fun to shoot, shout out to Kevin Pereira for being such a great host!
Sundance was incredible. I waited 5 years to play there because I wanted my first time there to be meaningful, and it certainly was. For the first time in a while I’ve got thoughts I’d like to share that can’t be contained in 140 characters; trust me that’s rare these days. So my next few blog entries will be dedicated to cool people and things that have happened at Sundance.
First and foremost, G-Technology by Hitachi
It’s always a great thing when you can work with a company that you already admire. I’ve relied on G-Technology drives since they released their 500GB beast, and 10+ TB later they still haven’t failed me. So it was a pretty easy decision to go to Sundance with them. How cool is this exclusive G-drive Mobile package?
Does that face look familiar? It also includes a video mashup I did specially for Sundance. Win. On top of that, my live performance was streamed and viewers won drives. Double win. As I got to know them, I came to find out that they are also great supporters of some amazing artists and projects. Take it all in at www.g-technology.com
They’ve also done a great job documenting some very interesting Sundance panels, premieres, and people on their YouTube channel.
The Webbys were an absolute blast! It was a dream come true for me, performing for a room full of people who have created most of my favorite places to go on the web: YouTube, Failblog, The Onion, Next New Networks, New York Times, Huffington Post, and of course a little company called Twitter. To add to the excitement, Martha Stewart, Trent Reznor, Jimmy Fallon, Sarah Silverman, Cameron Diaz, Charlie Rose, and Lisa Kudrow were also in the house.
I’d really like to thank everyone at the Webby Awards for making this happen, it was an amazing experience and the show just keeps getting better.
I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve been interviewed on the red carpet where the host actually knew who I was without the help of a publicist. Thank goodness for the lovely Shira Lazar, best red carpet host ever.
Seth McFarlane wasn’t able to make it so I got to step in and present his award the only way I know how:
And here’s my performance, thank you Webby Awards!
So the Lionsgate mashup I did for YouTube Live has won a Webby for outstanding creative content! I’m really excited; not only is this a great honor, I’m going to be doing a special performance at the Webby Awards in New York on June 8!!! Seth Meyers will be hosting, he was HILARIOUS last year!
