New news about impending news

Well things are really going strong behind the scenes at Crapbot Productions.  Problem is that we can’t really talk about any of those things yet.  We’ve even managed to make some decent money this summer but I want to keep that on the DL for a few more weeks since I don’t want to jinx what we’re doing!

If you can think of a better name for this guy than "Crappy the Crapbot" be sure to let me know.

Our big news though is Nerdcore For Life related and we should be able to announce it this month I hope.  (we’re very excited)  But other cool stuff is in the works too.  I found out that I’m going to get to shoot a music video this summer at one of THE most important scientific research facilities in the entire world.   I don’t even want to talk about that one until the shoots are done lest homeland security find and put the kibosh on the whole thing.  In other video news, any day now we should be posting an epic music video that took over one year to make!  Ok….it didn’t exactly take a year to make.  It took me a year to make it.  It was something we shot in San Francisco last summer and there were always more pressing things to tend to.  But I finally dusted off the footage and now it’s almost ready to go.  Again, we are excited.  Oh, we also have two Nerdcore For Life screenings happening later this summer but again, I have to wait to give out the details.  One screening will be in the Midwest and the other will be somewhere in Europe.  Can you guess where?  I’ll give you a hint:  Vienna sausages don’t actually come from there!

In self-reflexive news, this very website you’re looking at is brand new!  Currently I’ve got like a dozen blogs, facebook pages, myspace pages and websites dedicated to our various projects but Crapbot Productions itself didn’t have a home on the web.  I think the site turned out very nice but I especially like our new mascot.  Un-officially I have named him “Crappy.”  But officially he’s just the Crapbot of Crapbot Productions.  I paid some dude from craigslist 50 bucks to whip that up for me.  I like him.  Crappy, not the craigslist dude, I mean.  I’ve already got him on my new Crapbot Productions business cards

Finally, in what may be the hugest news of all we are one week away from starting production on a brand new, feature-length documentary project.  This one I can really not talk about though.  We might keep this one under wraps all the way until we start post-production.  Shooting should last about 6 months and I’m hoping the final film will be ready to screen after the start of the new year.
