When I started this little blog, I didn’t think this is what I’d have 2 years later. Nope, initially, it was just going to be a web log of my adventures in filmmaking here in Fresno. After realizing that I wasn’t doing enough of that to fill a blog about my own things (honestly, it was mainly because I was lazy back then) and there weren’t enough people here doing independent stuff, I switched the format over to what we have today. And along the way we’ve had plenty of highlights: our Flashback Features Gettogethers, The DUmb podcast, got that picture of Harrison Ford as Indy at Chandler Airport, gave birth to this Fresno Swede Festival thing & we’ve gotten a bevy of cross posts at mega blogs such as The Superficial, Autoblog & Slash Film. It’s been pretty fun ride so far and having a good team behind it is what’s brought us here. Shout out to Team Dumb Drum (consisting of Bryan Harley, Robert Anaforian, PartyMarty) for keeping the ship afloat. But mainly the thanks go to you, the readers & commentors of the blog! Thank you all for continuing to support us and all I can say is that we’ll have plenty of more cool stuff planned for you guys this year & beyond. And a special shout out to all the other local blogs that have given us so much love as well. This blog ecosystem (blogosystem?) we’ve set up here in Fresno is wonderful and I congratulate you all on what you’ve done so far and for any readers that haven’t had a chance to see what Fresno has going on online, I suggest you look at that blogroll down there to the right and surf around! Now I’m off to try and convince Bryan, Rob & Marty to get matching Dumb Drum tattoos with me this weekend.
Congratulations! It’s lasted this long because there are no females involved… Unless you count Debbie. No disrespect to the ladies, but they have a way of tearing men down, or causing men to tear themselves down.
:) I keeed! I keeed!
Great job, guys and keep up the good work.
Congratulations! Don’t pussy out on those tattoos. If I can do it…
Congrats on the two years. After porn, you guys are the first thing I check in the morning.
Blogosystem, I like it.
You guys have a great blog here and have come up with some killer original stuff, like the podcast and Swede Festival.
Keep it up and congrats on two years!
happy belated birthday. if i could give you anything, it would a wish that you get the traffic of the beehive, without some of the commenters.
Thanks everyone for the kind words!
@Heather: Tattoo update: everyone refused & I flat out forgot to mention again after everyone was nice & drunk at Party Marty’s wedding last night. D’oh!
I maintain I coined the phrase “blogosystem” during one of the podcasts. I demand royalties, sir! Pay me from our non existent ad revenue!
Anyway, 2 years and going strong. Congrats!
Are you saying congrats to yourself now, Bryan? Wow, this Blogosystem has changed you, man.
Bryan Harley doesn’t go around sayin’ “Bryan Harley does this” & “Bryan Harley does that”… that’s just something Bryan Harley doesn’t do!
do well celebrate with drinking??
on the subject of tatoos, how about a tatoo of a hairy back on your back :)
Belated Congrats to you and your blogginess contributions!
