Starting now, I'm gonna be making videos sorta kinda like this one on a regular basis.

Such a day this day. Damn everyone's really come to play today!

Here's my Regular Rhetoric for the day. It could still use some spicing up, if anybody is wondering what to do to pitch in on this special day, I'd really love to have some more visuals and/or sounds mixed in with all this talking.

Now enough of the sensical stuff. It's time for an exercise in aesthetic remix. Jeez, think there's enough Resources to use?

Raw from New York -- Contribute your ideas for what these weekly "directorial" videos should be.

I'd normally like to edit these a bit more. But this week, I'm fortunate enough to be working in New York, hosting Saturday Night Live. Wanna refine it for me?

11/11 pleased me to no end. And so begins this weekly ritual where I attempt to gather us all up and do something focussed together. I'm doing this every week now. And I figure by the time we get to Sundance January 21-31, we'll be a productive force to be reckoned with. By the way, I think the official news about Sundance came out today. You heard it here first :)

I thought a decent place to start is just to hear your thoughts on these weekly videos. Why do you think they'll be useful? How might I and we make use of them? To feature or remix certain Recommended RECords. To demonstrate my techniques with cameras, microphones, computers, etc? To start Collaborations? To contribute to existing Collaborations? Perhaps to highlight the work of one particular hitRECorder? These are all things I plan on doing in the coming weeks. I'm sure you have other ideas I haven't thought of. What are they?

You can answer that by simply writing a remark in the Forum. Or, it'd certainly get your message across stronger if you turn your idea into a work of art! Make a video about it, or draw a picture, sing a song, anything, you know how it goes here.

Rehearsing for Sundance -- Desk Drum Circle

55 Days until Sundance.

Let's get together and rehearse. So when those ten days arrive, January 21-31, we're a tight unit, well prepared, and able to show the world how productive an online collaborative community can be.

I'd like to try out a sort of easy collab idea. Desk drum circle. Don't need any instruments. You don't even really need a desk, you could bang on anything. Although I think it'd be cool if we all did it on desks. We'll mix up all the Resources into one big banging beat. And then, of course, who knows what might happen? To paraphrase ManWithHat, the director doesn't always know exactly what she's doing.

Down there in the list of Resources, there's a link to the Desk Drum Circle collaboration. Are you RECording?

Desk Drum circle continues -- writing intended for reRECording

This week, I talked about the continuing collaboration known as the Desk Drum Circle. I also had a thing or two to say about writing. Well, since I'm writing this description, second things first.

WRITING. There's a lot of good writing on hitRECord. Now here's how I'd like to take it a step further. I'd like to see more writing that is written and released here with the intention of becoming something more. Write something that's meant to be read aloud. Write a script that's meant to be acted out or animated. Write lyrics that are meant to be sung or recited.

Here's some more specific suggestions:

Write some words intended to be spoken/sung/rapped/recited along with the Desk Drum Circle.

Write something about Sundance.

Write a script for a comedy sketch.

Write a script for any sort of short form media piece.

Or, for those who don't want to write...

Try the reverse. Find a piece of writing on hitRECord that you like, and reRECord it into something new. Turn it into a video, or a song, or a speech, or a drawing, or a photo, etc. Use a piece of writing as a Resource, and Release that new Result.

Alright go!


I love how the Desk Drum Circle is coming along. Everyone's contributions are awesome! In the video, I highlighted some that I found particularly remarkable. Now, what this collaboration really needs at this point is this...

CALLING ALL MUSIC EDITORS!

We need you (and I'll do some too this week) to go through these various resources and chop them down to the good bits. Every contribution has some parts that are on rhythm and some parts that are off rhythm. If we can just sample those on-rhythm bits, and put them all together, looped onto a grid of 120 BPM, we will end up with one hell of a tight beat.

That should do it for this week.
Thanks...

written conversations, scored cartoons, and our mMman Morgan ~ new collaboration: An INVITATION

sorry I'm a few minutes late on my weekly regulation. I was trying to get it in under the wire, so I haven't cut it up, put in any of the clips, or anything. Um, anybody feel like doing some of that? It'd certainly kick ass if the community helped make these community-oriented videos. In due time, I'm sure we'll get there.

here's my notes from this weeks regularity:

The REGULARITY ~ December 12, 2009

writing

A Short Cartoon About Doors by KamPAIGN
used writing by A Short Conversation About Doors by casvellon
used a bunch of other resources, and notably the Desk Drum Circle, more on that later

Morgan M. Morgansen's Date with Destiny
by Metaphorest
mushr I read it
drawings by jenyffer.maria
animations by tori
let's make more visuals
Jen, if you can draw the characters in a few more positions, we can probably just use those over and over. Profile, three quarters. A few different emotions. Or probably better, just keep doing like you're doing and picking out scenes and moments and drawing those.
who's gonna act some of this stuff out?
I think the visuals can be a hodge podge, don't have to be consistent

Desk Drum Circle
JeffPeff did some music editing. Quantizing some of those beats. slow and steady, let's start putting the pieces together. again, awesome Kam already used it in a larger context



now,
an invitation

i want us all to collaborate on a video that invites anybody and everybody to come be a part of hitRECord and participate in our collaborations for Sundance.
I already started it.
I'm gonna release the script, right after I release this Regularity video (which is almost late!)
We don't have to stick to that script, in fact, if you feel like re-writing it, refining it, adding to it, please do.
I also RECorded a basic reading of the script so far. It's simple, just me talking to the camera.
I'd like us all to add on to that.
We need visuals to go along with the ideas and sentiments.
photos, drawings, other videos
also it'd be cool if you guys want to do a reading of the script, or some variation of it. the more the merrier.
For example, at one point, I'm like, hi, I'm joe, this is hitREcord, say hello everyone. Can everyone RECord themselves saying hello, or hi, or what's up, or hola or salut or something?
And just get creative with it. Do whatever to it. I'd like to really focus on this one this week (along with Morgan and the Desk Drumming). Let's get it out to the world soon. But it's gotta be better than what I've done by myself. So have at it!

One month to SUNDANCE ~ Morgan & Destiny's date with you ~ hitRECord Invitation ~ desk drum Resources

Last night was the longest night of the year. Lula and I spent it editing. I really think Morgan M. Morgansen's Date with Destiny is going to Sundance. We just gotta finish it, and we need your help!

The Invitation is also coming along great. TanjaTHEawesome made a super-pro-beautiful animation to go along with it (can't wait to see what she does to MMM!). Miss Awesome, I'd love to get a Resource version of your Invitation video without the music. The music you chose is great, but I'd like this video to have music we all made together. And everyone else keep the contributions coming -- Tanja's video is wonderful, but there's no reason we can't keep going with it.

In desk drum circle news, Albert uploaded a .zip of all the different pieces he cut up and looped to make his remix. That is a perfect set of Resources that I intend to make use of toute suite!

Also, the Secret Santa collaboration is fantastic! I love that you guys are making physical objects that represent hitRECord. I do indeed think that while 1s and 0s are destined to be free, physical objects offer we artists a legitimate way to sell our work. All the cooler of you guys to be giving them away!! ;o)

Have holy winter days, ladies and gentlemen...

new hitRECord.org version 4 coming in "about a week". ~~ Morgan M. Morgansen ~~ Sundance

Firstly, I can't remember which RECord I resourced at 4:54 for that "SUNDANCE 2010" on the computer screen. I apologize, can someone remind me?

Yes, it's going to be about a week, and then hitRECord.org v4, the new website, will be launched and liv!! Ahh, we've been working on this for such a long time, I can't wait for you guys to see it. It's gonna make our collaborative creative process so much more effective and fun.

Morgan M. Morgansen, the collaboration continues. Lots of great contributions. Discussing color schemes. Drawings, videos, dancing, birds, photos. Still lots to be done, what do you want to throw in?

Obviously, there's lots of collaborations revolving around our upcoming stint at SUNDANCE. But I hereby want to start one to make a 5-10 minute video about Sundance itself. Most of this video will probably be RECorded during Sundance. But we might as well start now. There's lots of Sundance stuff from last year that we can begin to remix. I'd also love to see what you guys might RECord regarding Sundance. What does it mean to you? When did you hear about it? What are some of your favorite films that have come out of Sundance? Etc...

Our new website HITRECORD.ORG version 4.0 is up and alive. So let's get to work! You might have seen the video THE NEW DEAL. It needs further refinement. More visual layers, more music. Perhaps a re-cut of a shorter version. Other ideas?

Pardon the site's bugs -- we figured we'd let you guys in while we're still putting the finishing touches on the place. First of all, because it's working well enough for us to get back to work, and also because we thought you might want to help. The BugMaster is on the case, let him know any problems you see.

I'll be getting another Regularity video up soon with more ideas for contributions.

THANKS!

WRITERS - we need a script for a 5-minute one-act play to perform and RECord at Sundance. GRAPHIC ARTISTS - Sundance poster collaboration. EDITORS/REMIXERS - spiffy up The NEW DEAL.

Look under RESOURCES below for links to the collaborations I mention here.

Mostly just thanks again for Sundance. We're hard at work figuring out the specifics towards paying all you contributing artists, and this Friday I'll be making the first announcement about that. Also, Alice hits RECord, a looking glass collaboration in the works. Then there's Reluctant Her.

PS - I'm calling this #12, even though there isn't one titled #11 right now. I guess all those Sundance RECquests will have to count for #11. Hey, if anyone wants to cut together a bunch of stuff from Sundance into a Regularity #11, it'd be some holy work!

The future is bright! Sundance screening artist compensation numbers ever so close! Almost done cutting new episode of Morgan, co-starring our new Lionel, Chan! Also next week, I get to announce plans for our next production!

Regarding Alice, I've an idea that I haven't quite got to finish trying out yet. But I think it could make for a loopy right RECord.

Rian Johnson recently wrote and directed THE BROTHERS BLOOM; his first one was BRICK. And now, he makes his first foray into hitRECord collaboration with a poem he has written entitled The Man in the Herringbone Hat.

He's thinking maybe we do it first as sort of an audio-play like the old radio days. Who wants to do a reading of it? I will soon. But we'd really like a variety of voices. Especially an old man's voice. Anybody got a grandpa with a flair for a turn of phrase?

Hello from British Columbia!

SXSW is next week and we've got some work ahead of us. (Once again, our friends at G-Tech will be sponsoring us at SXSW, so if your work is screened at the festival, you'll participate in those profits.) We're starting to hit you with some REquests - MMM 2 score, bumper videos, backdrop videos, invitation - keep your eyes directed to the REMARKS Drawer for those. If you'll be in Austin, please come to our events on the 16th and 20th - they're going to be awesome!

Here's a rundown of the events we'll be presenting at SXSW:

March 16th - 10p // G-Tech Theater @ The Austin Convention Center

The Sundance profit distribution conversations are going to be closed on 3/14, so there's still time to get your voice heard - we want to hear from you! Then its time to send on those checks.

The hitRECord team is in British Columbia and SXSW! We will be a complete force later in the week, but for now - we've got some work to do to get ready for our events on the 16th and 20th -

Poster Collaboration, Morgan 2 Score Collaboration, SXSW documentation, Bumpers, Backdrops and more!

Also - we're thrilled to announced that hitRECord's own Sarah Daly (Metaphorest) and Lawrie Brewster (Lawrie Brewster) will be making the to journey to these here United States to hitRECord with us!

...and speaking of which - have you seen the new Lawrie Brewster edit of Morgan & Destiny's Eleventeeth Date - The Zeppelin Zoo ?? Whoa! Incredible!!

See y'all in Texas!

SxSW 2010 was some of the coolest shit hitRECord has done yet, THANK YOU! Now let's make some RECords about it. Tons of Resources have been Released, videos, photos, writings, now it's time to remix it all into some Results.

Video editors, let's make the hitRECord SxSW 2010 mini movie! But not just video editors, we'll need music, graphics, words, and anything else.

Or, even if you're not gonna cut some video or make some music, you could really help this project by compiling an ALBUM of your favorite SxSW RECords. Going through the extensive footage we've got and making selects is an invaluable part of the process.

In other news, we're closing the books on Sundance 2010. Two weeks ago we proposed numbers for how to divide up the Contributing Artists' profit pool. We've gone through all of your remarks on those proposals, and we'll be releasing the revised and finalized numbers this week. Then in the next two weeks we'll be gathering the contributors' info so we can send out the checks.

RE: meaningless RECords, Compiling Albums, the artform of the 21st Century...

One-ish week left to go before I finish this job and return to the REC Room. I can't wait to get back to our little game :o)

Back RECording. Pixel Pilgrim must love Harry Potter's soul & serotonin. Next week starting collaboration re: Inception. Sundance checks going out this weekend.

The INCEPTION 'Dream' collaboration is off to a smashing start... and let's add some character to them there help videos!

What is hitRECord Collab - http://www.hitrecord.org/records/81425
Inception Dream Doc Collab - http://www.hitrecord.org/records/78958

More INCEPTION Dream Doc RECquests

Here's a request coming from Roko, the documentarian who's making this movie:

Concepts we'd like hitRECorders to be inspired by as they create:

- dreaming and creativity (dreams are in some way the ultimate expressions of our creativity)
- the vagueness between different states of consciousness (including waking and sleeping. The spaces in between...)
- losing yourself in a story / dream / movie --  losing the boundaries of your self

Some specifics to illustrate:

-worst case scenarios, e.g. nightmares
-Freudian unresolved wishes - sex etc.
-our brains create a model that we consider to be reality. In waking it's dictated by a physical world that filters through our senses (sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste). In sleeping the brain creates freely, untethered by an external physical world.
-the phenomenon of sleep paralysis, sleep paralysis disorder, sleep walking, sleep behavior disorder
-dreaming is a creative act, your brain is an artist and filmmaker
-every character in your dream is you. In your dream you are essentially speaking to yourself.
-having novel ideas in dreams. Some Nobel prizes and works of art are accredited to inspiration from dreams
-the archetypal dream of school exam anxiety where, in your dream, you show up to school to learn that you have to take a major test that you're completely unprepared for.
-the archetypal dream of seeing someone close to you who has died.
-the idea that dreams are not just all in your head, they may be a portal to another reality -- a parallel universe.

Well, it was our very first time doing it, and it did take us a while, but we've finally sent out 147 checks adding up to $10,000 to all the contributing hitRECorders who collaborated on the short films we screened at Sundance 2010. Congratulations to all, and most of all thanks! And it's not gonna take us nearly this long to get the SxSW checks out...
:o)

We're gonna put out a DVD/book/artifact/physical RECord/thing...! It'll be a sort of collection of what we've made so far. -- ROW YOUR BOAT -- EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE ALL THE TIME -- The RECord Store soft launch

Sorry it took me so long to release a regularity this go-around, and sorry again for not editing it. :o /

any video editors out there feel like cutting these 8 minutes down to like 3? so everybody else can get their regular update without having to listen to me stutter for eight frickin minutes?

thanks again
<3

We're gonna make T-shirts and posters and maybe even other fine things you can touch with your hands! What shall they be? -- Dear Flowers bloom because Featured RECords aren't finished -- Sundance 2010 cheques arrived, and it's been so sweet seeing y'all's RECords of them...

The Man in the Herringbone Hat, story by Rian Johnson, reading by Philip Baker Hall, collaboration ensues. Also, a bit about the coming updates to this here website.

Welcome to hitRECord.org 4.2 !! home page overhaul --
*** PLEASE REVISE YOUR COLLABORATIONS *** for newly organized sorting by video, image, audio or text.

Welcome new hitRECorders! Here's 10 Collaborations I'd love for you to work on. Click on RESOURCES below for links to the collabs' pages.

Now, everything we work on here at hitRECord.org has the potential to make its way into one of our Productions. Maybe it gets screened at a live event, maybe it ends up on the DVD/book we're putting out, or who knows what else? These ten projects in particular are going so well so far, I think it's only a matter of time before they end up produced. So hop on and contribute! Please :o)

Also, Jared is almost done with the first phase of logistics to get our contributing artists paid for our last Production at SxSW. Next week, we'll post our proposals, as we do, and once the community has had a chance to discuss everything, we'll be sending out those checks.

Our next Production will be three shows this summer in NYC called SUMMER IN THE CITY. It's gonna be a rockin night out on the town.

Now get to work!

I wanna talk this week about RECommendations. When we hit the heart to recommend a RECord we are not just saying that we "like" this RECord, no, we are giving our professional, artistic, creative opinion that we RECommend this RECord to to our production company.

This is how the cream rises to the top here, is by us collaboratively curating or own REcords, like a mass DJ.

So, I decided to go back through some of my recent RECommendations and choose 10 that I reRECcommend and make an album of them. Then I submitted that album to "The reRECommendation Collaboration."

If we can all start reRECommending RECords once a week in this fashion, I truly believe we can help our production company go through such a high volume of RECords and reveal the gems that we may want to produce.

Thanks Again,
J

Okay everyone!!!! Our first "Summer In The City" show is going down this Monday, August 16th! Help us make a killer introduction to set the tone for the night.

Plus, I want to kick off the "RE: Cities" Collaboration. Let's begin it now and see how it grows for each show here in NYC.

We are going to be printing a "Tiny Book of Tiny Stories" to hand out at the shows while also screening a bunch of tiny stories movies as bumpers, so this is the time to jump in on the Tiny Story Collaboration.

Finally we released of SXSW profit distribution proposal, so please take a look and give us your feedback.

And if you can't make it on monday, never fear because we are gonna stream the whole thing live right here on hitRECord.org. And of course, everyone there will be RECording it.

Thanks Again.

Final Cut Pro by Dr. Gory

Well the next 'SUMMER IN THE CITY' show is tomorrow night!
VIDEO EDITORS! Check out the collaboration Glitch 'Live Acts' Video. http://hitrecord.org/records/186702 haus_of_glitch came through like a champ with multiple remixes of our 'Live Acts' submissions. We're gonna play "LiveActs Upbeat Version 2.0" at the show tomorrow. So let's collaborate to make a rough edit of visuals for this track to project along with it tomorrow night. Then we can refine it and make it perfect in the future.

We're still refining our results with the Row/Alice/Dream collab and RE: Cities, keep up the great work you all have done so far.

Also, Looks like we have so many great tiny stories coming in that I am hoping to print a completely new book of them for this weeks show.

Alright, again we will be streaming and RECording all the way through the show tomorrow. "Keeping the RECord spinning" as they say.

thanks again
J

Well, once again the next and final 'SITC' show is........ tomorrow!

Thank you all who attended, watched, contributed and especially remixed for the last show. It was an incredible evening.

Find out what we are doing for the show tomorrow and how you can contribute to be a part of it!

Help sifting through the 870 contributions of the RE: CITES collaboration and make an album of the RECords that you think are golden. Name that album your "selects" and contribute it to the collaboration "RE: CITIES Selections."
http://hitrecord.org/records/196702

We pulled out an awesome rough draft of the "Glitch Live Acts" music video in just 24 hours. Now lets refine it some more and really focus on making a high energy 'Glitichified' ending.

Also, we need a brand new INTRO for the show. Follow the script and lets make a completely different version than the previous 2. Do whatever you want with it.... surprise me.

And, now that we have so many great readings of our tiny stories from the 'SITC' shows, lets incorporate them with some music and moving images and make some tiny videos to screen at the show tomorrow.

Well, I can't tell you enough how great it's been doing these shows here in NYC and how incredibly awesome our community has come through with REmarkable REsults for us to screen.

I cannot say it enough....

Thanks and thanks again.

Barely and briefly, thank you! SiTC forever! Also, RE: hitRECord's future in live events -- we're gonna make an announcement this MONDAY at 12pm NY time. Here on the site only, so hitRECorders can get the news before anyone else. Guess what it is...? ;o)

Hello Ladies and Gents!!!
Yep that's right we got another show to do, and this time it's a big one!.

So let's get ready ........

Find out here what you can contribute for hitRECord.org's FALL FORMAL.

We are calling all writers to jump in on couple big projects.

Fake Histories are getting really good, so let's keep making them.

I really like fredwatford's "Road to Fall Formal" collab, so let's all shoot ourselves getting dressed up fancy style like we are going to the theatre, and then we can REmix them into something really cool.

And let's check out Nebulullaby and add some new things to it.

Tickets are selling hot... and this venue is no joke.... so it's a great sign of how things are going pretty good for us!

So keep up the good work and let's put on a show!!!

Thanks again,

Final Cut by Dr. Gory

Hello again everyone...
Been a little while since my last REgularity and although I am not up to my full Regular self I really want to start focusing on some projects with you.

Firstly, lets remix fajigajiga's "The Anglerpod Votes" beautiful short animation piece into a brand spanking new short film.
Writers, write a story based on the imagery and actions of the anglerpod. Video Editors, lets RECut the original into a whole new visual narrative. Find out more at the collaboration I started here at http://hitrecord.org/records/269518

Next and most immediate, Jared, Marke and I have decided to make a "Tiny Book of Tiny Stories" to sell at our RECord store! We can keep writing and illustrating more tiny stories if you like, but what we really need is some solid curation of the ones that are already written. Lets go through wirrow's collaboration of Tiny Stories http://hitrecord.org/records/56986
and make an album of the one's that we believe should be in this beautiful book (text and images only). Then we will submit our album of Tiny Stories RECommendations to Marke's collaboration "Tiny Book of Tiny Stories. http://hitrecord.org/records/269395

Finally I just want to mention, there's been lots of great work happening around here while I've been away. It'll take me a while to catch up, but I'll get there. Particularly, the "saving stitchtown" collaboration is looking great, can't wait to get more involved myself.

Okay, it'll be a bit more time before I get back to weekly Regularity videos, and in the meantime, much thanks for all the love and support from this whole community.

Thanks again <3

Hello everyone... We Made A Book!!!!

That's right hitRECord.org's first publication, "The Tiny Book Of Tiny Stories" is on sale now!

Calling all animators and short film makers! Let's make some "Tiny Films" shall we?

Marke selected 15 candidates from the "Tiny Book of Tiny Stories" to be made into short films. http://www.hitrecord.org/records/278414

We have the words, we have the illustrations, so let's make them into short animated films!

I'll be RECording some voiceovers for you to use and there is plenty of other audio on the site as well.

So let's get cracking.

Also, it's time to spruce up the look of our RECord Store!!!

Photograph yourself wearing hitRECord.org t-shirts and hats so we can use them to display our apparel with some style.

Now, I'm not talking about just a snapshot of you in a shirt... no.

Let's make really good looking images with some artistic flare to them so we can replace those generic looking photos that are up now! Soon, the entire RECord store can be a beautiful site for the eyes!

Finally, The Inception Dream Documentary was released this week, super exciting to see our RECords on a freaking Inception Trailer!!!

and

SxSW Profits have been finalized so we will be sending those checks soon enough!

Thanks Again,

Ladies and gentlemen, it's official, we're gonna release a DVD/Book/CD/collection of our work so far... RECollection Volume 1. And, surprise surprise, the deadline is landing on us very very soon -- we're aiming to have everything done by JANUARY 1ST.

It won't be the first time we've gotten shit-tons of work done in no time. So let's do it.

VIDEO EDITORS -- Haus of Glitch is devising a new refined version of his 'Live Acts Megamix' which will go on the audio CD, and we are gonna cut a monster video to match his monster track. This one is all about cutting to the beat. The more ornate and intricate the beat gets the more images and cuts should be reflected visually.

SHORT FILM MAKERS -- I am loving the Tiny Stories Short Films that everyone has been making, really great job. Some are definitely going on the DVD, the more we can make the better. Keep in mind, while animation is a great approach since we already have so many illustrations, live action can work too, or anything else you wanna try.

CASUAL RECORDERS -- Of course Nebulullaby is going on the DVD. However, let's just spruce it up a little bit, shall we?
In the "Earth" section of the music video, we have many images of people going to bed and falling asleep. Let's add more!
RECord your bedtime and contribute it to this collab.

VIDEO EDITORS -- let's cut in many many more of these bedtime visuals into Nebulullaby's "Earth" section. Again, put those cutting points on the rhythm of the music.

TEXT and IMAGE CURATERS -- So part of 'RECollection Volume 1' is going to be a book. Help us curate what should be included. Create an Album of text and image RECords that you recommend, and contribute it to this collaboration. The more selective you are, the better, so limit your Albums to like 3 to 5 RECords.

VIDEO EDITORS -- Take a look at HelloLindsayyyyyy's "All 3 SiTC's in 30 Seconds" ~ http://hitrecord.org/records/273123 ~
She did such a killer job that this video is definitely going on our DVD. And I want to make similar videos for "Sundance", "SxSW," and our "College Tour 2010" to accompany it.
So let's look through all the uploaded records from these events and make a 30 second video that captures all that went on there. HelloLindsayyyyy's speedy narration approach worked great, so feel free to do that, or try anything else, as long as it's 30 seconds or less.

Well, it's the end of the year, and most likely this is my last Regularity video of 2010. What a crazy ride this year has been for me, for us, for hitRECord. Working with you guys has exceeded all of my expectations. I am so proud of what we have accomplished this year, and I can't fucking wait to do it all again in 2011.

Thanks again <3
