Hey gang, Backpack Picnic, which is the Edmond Bulldogs but with Jeremy and I more officially in the cast, has now gone live on OnNetworks. It's being shot in HD, and damn it looks good. It's not being officially released for a couple more weeks, but go take a sneak peak. Also, watch the sketch Spin and spot your friends in it.

I love. Make t-shirts.

Awesome, indeed. Way to go, guys - I'm really looking forward to seeing more!

(Aside: hey, that's the flash video player that I built - if you find it to suck in any way, let me know, and I'll see about making it less sucky.)

ditto. And put them on spread shirt -- there is a market for good design minus the relavance and this design stands out (a la Hello Kitty).

Plus you guys are FUNNY! and made me Laugh Out Loud!!! 2 times at least -- which is weird when you are by yourself.

I've been saying we should also have a Backpack Picnic T-shirt that makes it look like the wearer is sporting a backpack on their front.

you can also go into itunes, search for backpack picnic, and subscribe to a video podcast that will get you the sketches i think automatically? as they're put out into the ether. right now, jus thte SPIN sketch is up, but you can subscribe for free for the next few releases.

It's more hilarious than even my high expectations expected it to be.

I am an ice cream face.

I sing the theme at the end with Dave and Rene, and I'm pretty sure that's Jeremy that I'm eating.
