Chicago Blizzard Movie Made By YouTube and You

Life, the Chicago Way

OFFICIAL GOOGLE TV UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT!

Important information I've found on Google Plus from  Chris Lang that can change the way you experience the internet and even watching the videos you see here on my blog...

Here is an excerpt from the article on Google TV's blog  :

In the 1970s, there were just a few networks on TV. Cable changed things by adding hundreds of new channels like HBO, ESPN, and MTV. The Internet marks a new chapter for television. This chapter is not about replacing broadcast or cable TV; it’s not about replicating what’s on TV to the Web. It’s about bringing millions of new channels to your TV from the next generation of creators, application developers, and networks. With over three billion views a day, sites like YouTube are proving the demand for Web entertainment is already big, and this entertainment is coming to the living room.

Here's my friend Tim again teaching you TKD one video at a time...

Volontie 1 - Eric Charsky

Volontie 1 will be entering the Global Ocean Race in October of 2011.  Watch as Cancer Ranger, Eric Charsky, inspires cancer patients and wounded veterans by sailing around the world in the GOR.   Starting and ending in Spain, Eric and his boat, Volontie 1, will be a dynamic force in the water while cancer survivors, and anyone being held back by their limited beliefs, can follow this triumphant journey and hold it as proof that anything is possible, no matter what your perceived obstacles are in life.  

BELIEVE IT.

Volontie 1

My friend, Eric Charsky is preparing to sail around the world in the Global Ocean Race on his boat, come October, 2011.  This is my personal response to Eric and how I'm more tied to this now than even just a few days ago...

Rear View Girls: Private message

So, my friend Lauren Strec posted a video on Facebook of the lovely Jessie Gurunathan and Reanin Johannink from the viral video "Rear View Girls" on Youtube.

Rear View Girls

So, of course, I decided to put up a video and ask them to come visit...

What I wasn't expecting was a personal message from these sweet girls out of New Zealand...

So, the lovely Jessie Gurunathan and Reanin Johannink may be coming to Chicago in the near future. Show some love and support and comment on their channel. Subscribe and favorite them if you want to see more of them in the future. And if you see them walking around in Chicago while you're with your significant other... careful, you just may get busted...

:)

UPDATE

It seems like this video that has over 7 million hits has been taken down by Youtube, which is why there is a link and not an embed code at the beginning of this post.  Interesting bit of news there and waiting to see what happens of this...

Kiss Kiss Cabaret

Here is an ongoing show at the Greenhouse theatre that is going on as we speak...  The Kiss Kiss Cabaret.  I have some friends performing and running the show here, and I'm planning on catching the Valentine show, Feb. 11th.  This should run all the way through summer at least.  Catch it!

Ex-Sex - the MOVIE

Here's a friend and someone I've worked with before.  Happy to help him get started on his new movie...

Click ^ here, where it says "Ex-Sex the MOVIE" to be taken to the kickstarter page where you can pledge a donation.  Even if it's a couple of bucks, I'm sure he would appreciate the support, and I believe it only takes $20 to get your name in the credits, so, hey, why not?

:)

Vote for me at Facebook!

This is Lauren Strec. She is Audition starting February 20, 2011 at 11 am thru the next sunday. I believe it will be facebook streamed on this sunday. Well, why don't I let her tell you. She's prettier than I am, anyways... ;P
