Now he's only knows about YouTube because I showed it to him and I never thought he would upload anything. But low and behold:

And then I posted a video response to it:

And Chris then catches wind of it:

I hope you got a laugh out of it like I did.

Sadly, The Lemonade Stand came up short but we did recieve other awards! Here's what we won:

The Lemonade Stand Awards

The Lemonade Stand Awards

We were all bummed to see we only got 3rd runner up but after the show plenty of people came to tell us that they felt the judges got it wrong. It's not about the awards, its all about making a film that people won. I mean, lots of great films never won any awards.

Anyway heres the other runners up and the winner of the Best of Boston:


2nd runner up: Sock Pox



1st runner up: High Noon, Oh Crap thats like 5 minutes from now



Winner of Best of Boston: Conversion

Crazy? I think so. Anyways, we shot a bunch of green screen footage and some of it may suck because I'm lazy at keying and the lighting wasn't done properly. It makes me laugh. Hope it makes you laugh too.

We may even make this into a reoccurring web series thing. Depends on how well this is received.

Also this may be updated with different music and fixed footage.

Here's a little taste of whats coming down the pipe. Chris whipped together some epic music that gave me a brain blast of an idea. We're making a TV theme intro and quite possibly continuing it as a web series. Good golly I can't wait to finish this and post it.....  IM ALL IN BUNCHES!!

It was really no shock, there were about 3 other films that stood out but our film glimmered in darkness that was that screening on Tuesday night. We put so much work into that film; the writing, the acting, the editing, the carrot juice...  CHEERS to DGSAAFBS and thanks to everyone who voted! Now all that's left is the main awards that are voted on by the judges. I have a good feeling.....Best of Boston HERE WE COME!!!

Here's the bootleg from the screening....just listen to the audience toss out ROFL Copters..

Although I found the site kind of useless through the browser and the mobile site just as lame (very annoying to email a photo to a site to post on the go). So you can assume I have been dying for a decent iPhone app. My prayers have been answered, the dev team @ Brightkite has developed an iPhone app and Apple released it into the wild last night. This application has received high marks in my book and blows any other related app out of the water....COUGH...loopt...COUGH.

I found something else cool that enhances the browser experience. There was a plug-in for Firefox that can guess your geo-loacation through you wi-fi signal and BrightKite harnessed that power to add a "Guess my location" feature to their site. Here's the story strait from their blog.

So if you're interested in using Brightkite, leave a comment. First five comments get an invite so be quick!
