Dumb Title Speaks Volumes

Posted in My Damn Channel with tags My Damn Channel, Back to the Future, first blog, Writers' Strike, Cookin' with Coolio, Smoky Banjo on 6/2/2010 3:40:29 AM by Rob Barnett



Woke up and did something I haven't done since 11/7/07.

I read the first blog entry at My Damn Channel. We were about 3 months past our 7/31/07 launch.

The Writers' Strike had just begun. We were moving from our first NY space on Ninth Ave. to new digs off 7th Ave. You can read the rest. The veiled reference to that phone call was about Coolio. His series, "Cookin' with Coolio", created 10 episodes full of fast freedom.

Two and half years later, we just moved back to our original space. The hackey, over-used movie title speaks volumes. We're back. Inna Good Way.

Our last office had massive water damage, reconstruction insanity, busted elevators and - oh yeah - 3 terror scares in a week - so the webgods said "MOVE."

The new place is coming together - we're growing - we're hiring - we're launching all new programming all summer long and heading towards 7/31/10 - our 3rd birthday.

Perfect that Mr. Banjo was the commentor on blog one. Respect to the Smokester. 

GOOD TIMES
