Whether or not you donated, we want to invite you to a premiere party on Friday, October 30th at Rising Sun Jeans in Pasadena. We'll be jamming for real from 8-11, with screenings of the pilot at 9 and 10. We'll have free drinks, free candy, music and good times. And Rising Sun has a leather floor. Invite your friends, etc etc. If you're on Facebook, you can RSVP and invite pals with this link: http://bit.ly/F6mbq

We're shooting this week! Yesterday we shot a Q&A segment at my house (I'm Jesse). Today we're shooting at Rising Sun denim in Pasadena, and tomorrow we're shooting stuff elsewhere.

It's ON, people!

We're now up on Twitter @putthison.

We're hoping to get up on the web soon at PutThisOn.com.

Amanda emailed me this today, a conversation between McNulty and The Bunk on The Wire.

Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: [on detail] A different look for our boy.
Off. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: Yeah, Perry Ellis, or something.
Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: Now, how would a just-rolled-out-of-bed-looking motherfucker like you, know the designer?
Off. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: [pauses] Okay, I'm guessing.
Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: It's a Joseph Abboud. He puts dark buttons instead of brass on his blazers. That's the Abboud signature.
Off. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: You know what they call a guy who pays that much attention to his clothes, don't you?
Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: A grown-up.

Adam and I met yesterday, and we've got a shooting schedule. Our first episode will focus on denim. More on this later, but your funding will allow us to actually pay our crew and get equipment we need.

We're very excited about this. Putting a site together now, and I hope you'll all subscribe to the blog and whatnot.

And thanks to Ask Metafilter, our first advertiser! They pledged $1500, and we'll be making a short commercial for them for the inaugural episode.

We're so excited to be funded!

We're going to meet and plan out a timeline. I think it's safe to assume at least 6-8 weeks before you'll see the pilot. If it's a success, we'll plan out a run of episodes, maybe half a dozen, and return for your help funding those.

In the meantime, we are still open to sponsorships and pledges until the end of the month. The extra money will go to extra equipment, and to me and Adam. Both of us (especially Adam) are making a lot less doing this than we would doing something else :). But this is awesome!

The video on our home page is one I shot with my iPhone, late at night.
This is one that Adam shot.
