Videogum Been Had Turning One Years Old
Videogum launched on April 8th of last year, and since then we have dedicated ourselves tirelessly to bringing you the latest in trampoline accidents, Paul Rudd fart noises, and Gwyneth Paltrow--Living Nightmare news. April 8th of this year is in less than two weeks! We did it! Can you believe it has already been a year? Is this forever? What a roller coaster of emotion.
In order to celebrate this incredibly important event, we are having a party. Kind of. We are going to a bar. And paying for our own drinks. Because, you know, the economy. But we are going during happy hour, the happiest (read: cheapest) hour of the day. And besides, this is not about free Dewar's. (Although Dewar's is the best, right you guys? Dewar's, send me money!) This is about people getting together to enjoy each other's company, and give Lindsay and me unearned disingenuous compliments.
If you're in the New York area, we would love for you to be there. Ultimately, Videogum is nothing without its readers*. It's a week from next Tuesday, and it's going to be great. Facebook it up.
*Obviously, Videogum is great without you guys. I mean, when the A.I. futuremecha who look like aliens but it turns out are not aliens discover Videogum buried in the ice out by Coney Island, they're going to telepathically be like "This is the final record of humanity, captured in this tiny little boy of a blog." But that's not for thousands of years when science self-creates intelligent life capable of even understanding how good this is, so right now Videogum is nothing without you.

Anyone interested in a San Antonio/Austin meetup?
**crickets**
**tap tap** Is this thing on?
Score = 6
San Antonian? You must be, because a San Antonian would feel it necessary to include Austin in an invite like this, but not vice versa.
Score = 5
Yeah, I guess it's pretty clear with my San-Antonio-Inclusion-of-Sadness that I do live in San Antonio. I threw in the Austin thing to increase my odds of making a new FRIENDZ.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that no one's gonna be driving to SA, but it's close enough to Austin that any other San Antonians would be glad to have an excuse to GTFO of here.

This makes me so happy, but mostly more sad :(... there isn't a big enough :( to express how it feels to live in the midwest and not be able to join you kids for all the free (not free) Dewar's we can drink! Chicago kids, we need to get our videogumshit together and celebrate anyway! If not, this is how I imagine my solo videogum-had-been-turning-one-year-old celebration will go...
..that's me with my melted ice cream cake...melted by my tears.

This would be even more fantastic if this were a week later. Congrats Videogum :]
