Here's a Rosh Hashananh gift for all of you from the brilliant minds of writer Reg Tigerman (C'07, Mask and Wig) and director/editor DT favorite Matt Johnson (C'99, Mask and Wig).  The piece also co-stars another Penn alum Dov Kogen (C'07).

Reg and Matt put it up this past Monday expecting 10 people to watch it. They're now up to 20,000 after Demi Moore tweeted it last night, and now, barring breaking news, it was supposed to be featured on CNN's Situation Room in the 4PM hour, eastern time (1PM west coast time.)

You should watch it, enjoy it and wear a sweater.

Wishing all of you a happy and sweet new year!

Last year, I covered a bunch of vlogs HERE documenting Kevin Shapiro's (C'12) freshman year.  He did a really good job documenting his transition from newbie at Penn to full fledged student.

I recently got Kevin's vlog he had posted from last May (which also qualifies it for being part of my "Delicious Leftovers" series) and it's amazing to compare his first freshman year video to his last freshman year video, and how freshman year can transform someone (physically and in attitude). I think it was probably true about all of us (or at least me  : ) ).

Check out the videos below!

Considering it is vlog week here on DT, I thought I would give a nod to a recent production on Penn's campus all about vlogs, ...or to be more precise, one very popular "Sing-Along Blog"...

In my facebook feed I saw that director Ben Grinberg (C'11) was staging a production of the popular viral video hit "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" for Penn's Fall 2009 New Student Orientation show.

Below, check out the "Laundry Day" clip that Ben sent me ...and then see the original clip below that starring Neil Patrick Harris!

Ethan Fixell (C'04, Off the Beat Music Director, right in photo above) and best friend and comedy partner Dave really like to double date.

They went on their first double date in 7th grade, then one in 10th grade.  Who knew that this would spiral into something, much, much bigger...

Usually one can tell within seconds of meeting someone that he or she is destined for greatness.

And I just have this feeling about incoming freshman Ryan Villanueva (W'13).

As you'll see below, Ryan produces and stars in a dramatic, passionate and entertaining vlog series as he brings us on his "quest for victory" as he journeys to Penn as an incoming Freshman.

Even if you don't want to, do me a favor and just find out why Ryan is like "salmon" in his first episode below...

You really have to see this...

Last year I wrote a post about DJ Gregory's (W'03, Off the Beat) involvement in the (now San Francisco) company of Wicked as well as provided you a sample from his very tv-episode-soundtrack friendly music.

Before he was a wicked awesome musician, DJ was actually a sports nut; he was a left-handed pitcher in baseball, recruited to play at a few division I schools, the quarterback of his high school football team, and a member of the Philadelphia Junior PGA as a kid.

And, now, with the performance experience he has gained, and the passion for sports grabbing a hold of him once again, he has made a move into sports broadcasting...
