IN SPITE OF, OR INSPIRED BY TURDS?

While Mag's previous blog highlighted the malodorous "out of doors" aspect of our "Good Morning Internet!" shoot for IFC, I would like to focus on the rose scent of the "in of doors." Oh yes, there were turds there too, but only of the metaphorical variety. (Sample sentence: Lack of sleep, poverty, and too much self tanner can be real turds.) But the pros of producing, writing, part directing, acting and editing our own show, far outweigh the cons. (Sample sentence: One might try to con us like pros, but we would outweigh them.)

From now on in this blog posting, when I say "we" I not only refer to Poykpac, but to our tireless and selfless crew and director to whom we owe so much. It's almost like we got knocked up by art and even though we had our doubts about who the real father was and how we would raise it, now we can't imagine what our life would be like without this beautiful progeny. We have finally wrapped on the shooting after 5 weeks and later this month, after tons of post work, we can finally unveil our big head comedy child for the world to see. The tabloids were clamoring for the first pictures but we would rather share them with you free of charge because we love you.

We hope you like "Good Morning Internet!" and will let it share your home and food because it takes a village to raise a kid and we take that saying literally. Let it spend the night and discipline it as if it was your own ill behaved offspring. Visit IFC.com for the premiere on June 16th and let us know what you think. Again, thanks to our crew and to our fans for being so patient, turds or no .

GOOD MORNING ROOF!

Poykpac has begun the amazing task of creating a 15 episode webseries for IFC called Good Morning Internet, we are two weeks along. Everyone is doing a great job with their characters, the story line is moving along, and our crew is fantastic. The set is built in the Poykpac headquarters, and most importantly we have a roof that we use for a staging area! It doesn't sound that exciting, but if you could see this roof, I think you would be on my page. It is littered with chaos; rusty metal, wagons, wood, tarps, bikes, and poop. Lots of poop. The neighbor's dog jumps out his window and uses the roof as his own personal bathroom. When the sun shines on the roof all the surprises hidden there heat up and the smell of urine and poo encompass everything and everyone. Is this foreshadowing of a show that is literally going down the toilet? I don't think so. If anything, I think it gives us a constant reminder to make a show that doesn't stink. Thank you, Tyrone the dog, for your help. We are going to make the best show we can!

EVERYTHING IS GOING AS PLANNED

Thanks to all those that helped us reach our goal of winning 2nd place in the sketchies2 contest. I thank you all for your voting and cheating, from the bottom of my black heart. In lieu of destroying all that is pretty in the world today, we decided to add a donate button.

Feel free to donate as much or as little as you'd like to the POYKPAC Second Place Victory Fund, and rest assured that your donation will contribute to many future examples of evildoing. And videos.

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

(While you are reading, please imagine TAPS playing softly underneath, and then, for the last sentence, 7 guns firing 3 times.)

The battle rages on. We are weary. Our opponents suffer . I'm speaking about the ongoing campaign for victory in Sketchies 2. Our once ally and now fiercest foe, Waverly Films has retaliated against our offer of truth to the Internet public ("Who is Waverly Films?") and smeared us with a hit piece entitled "A phone is ringing in brooklyn").

We as soldiers of fortune, had no choice but to make yet another video response, (titled , "Poykpac/Waverly beef war vol. 03.") Who shall emerge victorious? Only you can help end this war by voting on the youtube sketchies 2 page. Its the last day! One more day to make a difference! We remain in our tiny, food-less foxhole while Waverly skates around on a man made ice rink and drinks cocoa made with real milk in their much fancier foxhole. (cue guns) We cant do anything now but depend upon the nation of you...oh, everything is getting dark....so hungry....mommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT TO MAKE US SMILE!!!

People of Earth: We all only have until 11:59pm this TUESDAY night to vote our hearts and give a magic thumbs up to POYKPAC's video "Voice Talkers" in the Sketchies 2 competition. For information on how to do that, look over there to the left.

Hey, look over there!

40 large is at stake here, folks. There is unfortunately no certain way to know what's happening vote-wise, but views-wise, we are, at the time of this writing, narrowly edging out our arch-rivals Waverly Films with 60,909 views to their 60,707. The views are spine-ticklingly close, especially considering the bizarre fact that both groups are approximately 35,000 views above the nearest competing finalist. My BEST guess is that Someone up in Heaven wants this to be a close fight, and, out of respect for said Someone, we have produced the following:

Who is Waverly Films?

WE'VE GOT PIZZAZ... I MEAN PIZZA

I don't want to get everyone too excited, but let me jump to a couple of conclusions and say pizza party the day after we win the Sketchies2 competition for Voice Talkers. I'm not trying to come off as conceited, I just feel that this party's bout to get started. Plus my mom already ordered over two dozen of my favorite frozen pizzas. We're planning to have the party at my moms place, so you know what that means... SLEEP OVER! Goddamn, two parties in one. Could things get any better? RSVP is appreciated cause seating is at a premium. Anyone who can quote me gets a VIP seat at my table/sleeping bag. That being said, watch and vote for Voice Talkers a couple more times to ensure you've got it down.

C u at the party.

ART IMPERSONATING LIFE

We finally finalized our video for the last round of the sketchies 2 contest. (Voice Talkers) Voting begins on the 9th! I wanted to thank my real life Dad for playing my fake life Dad and for letting us exploit his office and house. THANKS DAD! Quite by accident, this sketch isn't too far from reality; only replace orthodontist with something a lot less profitable and replace Crusty Bites with Toyota.

WHAT I DO WHEN I DON'T DRINK

Last night was an interesting evening for me. I found myself without anything to do. My roommate was watching The Complete Jane Austin on Master Piece Theater, so I was forced into my room. Not that I don't love me some corsets and fancy dancing, but I just wasn't up for it. Why? Because I wasn't drunk. So, with idle hands not filled with wine, I found them drawn towards my collection of DVD's. Now, a mother never says she has a favorite among her children, but I do. I just can't help myself. I literally can't help myself. There it was. That ocean blue cover. "Take me to sea!" it said. And I gladly listened. I wiped off the light collection of dust, and carefully placed the disc into my player.

"Titanic". That's right people, "Titanic". Not only was it "Titanic", but "Titanic" with a commentary. I watched the entire 3 hour and 17 minute epic with the cast and crew commentary. Why? Because I wasn't drunk. It seems like it should be the opposite, but it wasn't. And what does that mean? I don't know. But I do know that I liked it. I liked it a lot. I guess I did get some corsets and fancy dancing, but on my own terms, and with an iceberg. And who knows? Tonight I might watch "Titanic" with the James Cameron commentary. I will let you know how it goes.

P.S. As I just finished typing this, the "Titanic" soundtrack started playing on my computer. I think it's a sign. I know what I must do.

MOTIVATION AND TENACITY

Recently while entertaining guests I was forced to ponder the concepts of motivation and tenacity. On a quick trip to refresh everyones beverage, I was yet again greeted by the 110th Street Roach posse of apt # 3E. As of recent, the roaches have come to use my kitchen sink as a gathering hall of sorts. I don't have anything to eat in my house so they're obviously not looking for nourishment. Neither party wasted time with formal greetings as I proceeded to swat and curse their existence. The ritualistic dance of life and death followed as expected until confronted with one overzealous contender. This roach was by no means your average moving target. Even though the odds were stacked in my favor, this roach continued to fight the good fight. I became mesmerized by its ability to thwart my attacks, no matter how harsh and swift the blow. After several guaranteed death blows, the roach continued to rise from its tomb. His motivation to survive became mine own. His unwillingness to succumb connected with my own desire to survive the overwhelming struggles set forth by the city. This struggle flung my unconscious thoughts in a whirl wind. What is life really? Why is survival so important? Why fight a losing battle? Considering my Native American ancestry, I don't question my connection with animal spirits. I eventually killed the roach, which is not the point of the story. However I don't want to come off looking like some mark ass buster. Anyways, The main point is I'm motivated to get my super to bomb my apartment, and I have enough tenacity to keep calling him till this shit is taken care of.

WE ARE LIKABLE

It was hard to find a day that we could all do it, but we finally shot our video for the last round of the Sketchies contest on Tuesday. I won't say too much about it, other than that Taige's dad has a very prominent role in it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand speculate!

In other news, Youtube heavyweight TheHill88 published a new video and blog this week, both entitled "The Hot Guys on Youtube." And as it turns out, I think it will come as very little surprise to all of you out there that the boys of POYKPAC are sitting pretty at #12 on that list (incidentally, "The Boys of POYKPAC" also happens to be the name of a hypersexual but tasteful off-the-wall calendar we're working on for an '09 release). Ms. Hill's blog posting generously refers to us as "great guys," and, on the subject of me in particular, she gushes, "he always looks so confused and grumpy -aww- ... IS IT ON PURPOSE? That is the question!"

Wow. I never realized disgruntled befuddlement could be so gosh-darn adorable.

...Or did I...?

WE HAVE A WEBSITE

I'd like to begin by saying that I don't know how to make a website and I don't like people who do.

But I didn't sleep for 2 days and somehow it's finished. If I weren't so exhausted I'd steal my lunch money.

Bedtime for Bonzo!
