Per Variety, their pilot is about

"a twentysomething man who starts taking a mood enhancer called Blisstilan. Snapped out of his funk by the drug, the lead character applies for a job at the pharmaceutical company.  Once there, he must navigate working for his new boss, a high-powered female exec who boasts the nickname "The Velvet Hammer."

Did you hear Gabriel Mann (C'95, Off the Beat) and his group The Rescues acoustic version of their song "Crazy Ever After" on last Thursday night's 2 hour season premiere of Grey's Anatomy?

His song was placed in the most emotionally pivotal scene of the show (pertaining to whether a patient's memory comes back.) Warning, if you haven't seen the episode yet, this scene is a spoiler.

Click here to watch the scene at abc.com (minute 25:55)
(after clicking above, on the resulting page, click "launch", click the "Episode 1, Part 2" box, click if you want to see the clip in "standard definition" or "HD streaming" and then you will be brought right to the scene)

Did you see Charlie Herschel (C'01) on last night's Survivor Gabon?

Check out minute 2:30 above where a smitten Charlie aligns himself with fellow Kota tribe member Marcus.  From the looks of it, it seems like Charlie's pulling the strings.  From watching previous seasons of Survivor, I think he'll go pretty far in the game.

What do you think?

So I found out what the deal was with yesterday's random pillow fight on Locust Walk.

This makes me laugh actually.

The pillow fight was apparently a "flash mob", which is a large group of people joining together, doing a random activity for a short amount of time, and then leaving.

Per an anonymous source,

"I'm not sure who organized the pillowfight, and part of the point of flash mobs is that they're usually spread by word of mouth, and the organizers take little to no credit. Also, each flash mob differs, it's not necessarily the same people. The mob is just comprised of whoever heard about the event and was interested.

The idea for flash mobs stems from improv everywhere, an interactive improv group which would do things like send 50 shirtless men to shop at abercrombie. This one's [below] probably the most famous example. Improv everywhere had hundreds of people go to grand central, and at a specific time, everybody froze in place for five minutes [see video below for reference].

Looks like another successful comedy is being made by one of our alumni.

"Harold & Kumar" writers Jon Hurwitz (W'00) and Hayden Schlossberg will write and direct the comedy "'Til Beth Do Us Part" for Warner Bros.

Per The Hollywood Reporter,

"The feature will focus on two twentysomething males whose close friendship is put to the test when one of them becomes engaged."

Jon is currently in the early stages of casting for the film and he will also be writing a third "Harold & Kumar" film (and has an option to direct).
