I’ve scrunched myself into the bottom of the wood cabinet in the background and today the art team decided I should try my hand at doing a semi-splitz on our red cabinets. It looks more precarious than it felt. Thank god no one had to call OSHA!

Okay, so I’m not really an internet superstar, but I did recently make a video with friends that “went viral” (I guess I am kind of a big deal). It all started one night, sitting at home curled up with my cats, drinking wine and watching House Hunters on HGTV. I was chatting with one of my other single friends about the wildy popular “Shit Girls Say” video. My friend says, “We should make a ‘Shit Single Girls Say’ video” and we instantly start to rattle off all of the ridiculous/sad/pathetic things we’ve said to each other over the past two years. Then, a quick text to one of our funny male friends and it was set – we were making this happen!

We had a small “production meeting” soon after, picked out locations, wardrobe, and made shot lists.  We planned to meet at 8am on a SATURDAY morning. A SATURDAY morning during CHRISTMAS BREAK. That’s how excited we were about making this video.

The whole video took about 4 hours to shoot, and about 8 hours to go through the footage, trim it down, and fine-tune it. We uploaded it on a Monday night, posted links on Facebook and Twitter, asked people to share, then we waited.

Thanks to friends sharing the link, we reached a couple hundred hits within an hour or so. I quickly developed the habit of checking the view count every few hours and immediately when I woke up in the morning. On the 2nd morning I sent an email to my video making partners titled “30100 – that’s not a zip code”. We had already received over 30,000 hits in less than 48 hours. I submitted the link to popular sites like BuzzFeed and StumbleUpon. Someone (a stranger) posted it on Reddit. It was linked to on the Huffington Post, reblogged a couple thousand of times on Tumblr, and showed up on countless other blogs. It made #3 on Adult Swim’s Internet Treasures the week it came out. Random people were making animated gifs. We kept hearing things from our friends like “one of my friends from New York just posted it on Facebook!” and “Wait, YOU did this?!” Yep, we did. The view count kept climbing.  9 days after we uploaded the video, the video hit a million views. At the time I am writing this, 21 days after uploading, we are at 3.5 million views.

I’m not dropping all of these facts to brag (I mean it is pretty awesome), but to point out how powerful social media is. We made a hilarious video but a lot of people make hilarious videos and not all of them get millions of hits. It thankfully caught on, and now I’m set for LIFE!

…Not really.

Hope you are enjoying the Holiday season! We at Tuesday are having so much fun that we decided to have a Secret Santa gift exchange. The rules were simple – pull a name out of the box and pick a thoughtful gift within our gift price range (and no gift cards).

Well, leave it to our creative masterminds to come up with some of the best Secret Santa gifts around! We really did get some fantastic gifts, and it was hard, but we managed to narrow it down to the top three in descending order.

Number 3

Electronics Gadgets for the Evil Genius

Number 2

Picture Frames with personalized messages from Ryan Gosling

And the Number 1 Secret Santa gift of 2011 is…

THE FOREVER LAZY!

Cheers to you, Steve! No one can rock a Forever Lazy like you can!

For a little bit of team building and some friendly competition, we took a trip over to Pinz in Studio City for some happy hour bowling action. The “I am Sparetacus” team of Joe, Vin, Jeff and Steven dominated the lanes with a most righteous time had by all. Click here to see photos!

This is Kevin. Kevin is well known & loved around the Tuesday offices because I talk about him all of the time. He brings joy and happiness to everyone he meets, even people that are severely allergic and will die if they touch him. After being encouraged by several people to start a blog about Kevin, I decided to dedicate the time and start The Daily Kev. Kev’s tumblr has been featured on a few websites since its creation two short months ago, and I believe he is headed for world domination. Kevination. Get used to it!

This summer we all cooled off at a little bash hosted at Chuck’s place.  We stocked up on wine, beer and cocktails and brought in a made-to-order taco stand.   After everyone warmed up with a few beverages, we got things going with a dozen different Minute to Win It challenges.  Competition got pretty fierce and most of those challenges are way harder than they look, but they are way more fun than they look, too!  Top prize was a tie between Barry and David, who were the only two to successfully complete all 12 challenges.  It was a great afternoon that spilled over into a great evening.  Click here to see the photos.
