I don’t have much time, but the Kickstarter campaign succeeded so…

Shit Just got Real!
The Last 24 – The Last Kickstarter Update with Video
This is it.
The last day.
The final 24.
Because of your support we have crested over $4100 mark! We are close!
Today we need to close the gap!
If everyone who sees this donates $3, less than a cup of Starbucks or Coffee Bean, then we’re over.
If those same people post this link: http://kck.st/qZtHxk and we only get 10% response from it we’re still over.
$3 and/or a post and we do it. Seriously, that’s all it takes. We did math.
To those of you who have been pushing with us this week: Thank you so much for your support and your belief in the project – even if you’re just doing it because you personally like Zeke or Myke or myself – it makes us feel really good to know that our friends, family and fans are willing to help us out. Not everyone can say that and we are grateful beyond measure.
Also, here’s one last video because Vernon Wells was good enough to loan us his person to add to our cause.
Let’s do this!

Ten Days.
Forgive me readers for I have failed. It has been 10 11 days since my last post.
It’s not that I don’t want to post. I have guilt.
It’s easy to say, “I’m busy” or “I just keep running out of time” but the real reason is all about priorities and the fact that, even though I say that this blog is one, it usually isn’t. Even the Wiggy blog, which is essential to the updating of the Wiggy website, doesn’t carry the kind of weight that I feel like it should. Conflicting brain things going on here.
So where are my priorities? They are all on the things that I am doing to make money. I hope you’re all aware of the Kickstarter campaign that we’re running for The Cheerleaders Must Die – if you’re not then go check the links. That has been surprisingly time consuming. Zeke and I were talking about it the other day on the phone that it is legitimate “work” to maintain and produce more content for that outlet. Hell, the Kickstarter update blog is the only blog that I have managed to keep up with on a regular basis! And there is also the shooting of the documentary which is going VERY well. And there’s the WiggyWebs stuff – like this:
And a cool video of Frankie playing in our fountain:
I also made this cool robot drawing for my buddy Dean. I can’t tell you why he’s collecting pictures of robots, but it’s cool!
So, yeah, all bitching aside I am planning on posting more and not making excuses, even if these last few blogs seem like they are nothing but excuses. That’s about it for today, hopefully I’ll…
See you tomorrow!
OK, When I said that the shameless plugs were going away I totally meant in September.
So, yes, I want to return this blog to the writing exercise that it was intended to be, but I also REALLY want to make this movie! So when it’s appropriate, like Mondays when we do our really big updates, I’m going to shamelessly plug the CRAP out of it!
With that in mind we have two new rewards available at our Kickstarter page! They are autographed photos of yours truly and one of our stars Shirly Brener! The pictures look like this:
Shirly’s might change, but we’re going with this right now. If you are a Sabrina fan or just like pictures of attractive women these might be just what you’re looking for!
See you tomorrow!
I’m Writing This Under Duress!
I want to take a nap SO BAD! Rene has been sick since Sunday and, even though I tried very hard, I think I got a touch of it.
Not think, I know. I know I got a touch of it. My body has been trying to rest all week and, for the most part, I’ve been able to indulge it but today I have shit to do and I shouldn’t take a nap.
But I really want to take a nap.
Actually I should probably take a nap. Then I can work well rested.
Yeah, that sounds good!
Here, watch a video:
See you tomorrow!
Moving and Posting and Frustrations with Blogger
Man, oh man I’m a little torqued at Blogger right now. At least as far as the Wiggy blog is concerned. If you click the link then you’ll notice that I’ve pointed to the WVS Prod. page because right now I can’t even log onto the Wiggy Blog! It keeps giving me a 505 message?! WTF?!?! Needless to say I haven’t posted any new blogs over there for the last two days, but hopefully that will be fixed soon. I actually have a catch-up blog written and waiting to be posted as soon as it is back up.
On a different note I’m going to start using my Facebook Fan Page more often so I hope you’ll pop over there and “Like” it if you haven’t already. Seriously, I know it just seems like a shameless plug site, but at the end of summer it will be my primary page. Word.
To wrap up here are this week’s Wiggy Webs videos! Subscribe HERE and watch below!
See you tomorrow!
It’s Wednesday and You Know What That Means!!!!
The new “3 Minutes with Curtis & Dean” is up!
We are shooting more episodes soon and want to know what YOU want discussed! Hit us at the Wiggy Twitter, Curtis’s Twitter, The Wiggy Webs Channel, The Facebook Fan pages for Curtis or Wiggy or right here in the comments of this blog! We’ve already received some great ideas, but the more we have the more we can shoot.
That’s all the shameless self-promotion that we’re going to do today, but I hope you enjoy the video. We are down to the last episode before we shoot new ones and Dean and I have some new ideas to implement that we’re pretty excited about. New intro! New opening and closing music! All new, all different editing techniques that will probably be unnoticeable to the casual viewer! Good stuff.
I recorded a new episode of The Shmimcast last weekend, I mentioned it on Twitter, and when it is released I will post a link here to it. Also, I’m going to be playing with the look of the blog this week as we play with the new web stuff – so don’t be surprised.
There’s so much stuff I want to tell you about – but it isn’t time. I’ll just have to wait.
See you tomorrow!
“Wait, so you posted this yesterday?”
Is what you might be saying to yourself right now since for every other Wiggy Webs released to date thus far I have posted on the Twitter feeds, Facebook pages and blogs all at the same time.
Well, I’m trying something new.
This blog was started as a way for me to be able to push my writing every day and, even though it is perfectly reasonable to want to hock my wares on this page as well as every other I have direct access to, I feel like it isn’t as cool as keeping this a place for writing first and sharing after. So, yeah, don’t get me wrong I’m still going to post stuff about projects here and shamelessly self-promote through this blog, but it might not be as timely as the Wiggy pages or the Twitter feeds. Or the Facebook pages.
Ok, this is the only place that won’t just be a page to shill stuff – but I’m still going to do it!
Like today, for instance. Say you haven’t been to the Wiggy Webs channel on YouTube so perhaps you haven’t seen the new “3 Minutes with Curtis & Dean” where we talk about horror movies. Well you can now!
And then tomorrow we’ll probably be back to geeky stuff or talking about how my car still isn’t fixed yet. Oh! Or maybe how I’m unofficially running for President! Help me get #Curtis2012 trending on Twitter!
See you tomorrow!
The Plugging Continues with Toilet Paper!
So as I’m sure you’ve noticed the last few blogs have been SHAMELESS self promotion! Just rediculous! corporate in their frosty tone and devoid of any personality.
A good bit of today’s blog is more of that, but there’s a little bit more to it as well. First let’s get the corporate synergy out of the way:
Thank you for helping to make “3 Minutes with Curtis & Dean” the most popular show on WiggyWebs!
As scheduled today is the next episode and the guys are talking about Toilet Paper!
Make sure you subscribe HERE and get the episodes as soon as they load and check out the other vids like “Story Time with Ray.”
We expect to have episodes of “3 Things with Rene” in production next week, so you can look forward to that.
And just to add more shameless plugging to an already shameless plug filled post please check out these links for our Twitter feeds, Facebook Fan Pages and blogs!

- Curtis Andersen’s Blog

Seriously follow all of those, please. I’m trying to expand my reach and I promise I won’t spam.
I wasn’t kidding, though, “3 Minutes with Curtis & Dean” is the most popular thing on WiggyWebs right now – not that it’s saying much since we’re really only a week old, but I thought it was pretty cool! I was actually surprised because it did significantly better in its first day than “Story Time with Ray” did and I think that the “C&D” episode is particularly funny! The only difference between the two is that I embedded the “3 Minutes…” video in the company and this blog and didn’t for “Story Time…” so I’m reposting the “Story Time…” episode in this blog to see if that helps.
Let me know what you guys think!
See you tomorrow!
Calling Myself Out
I’m mad at myself.
I’ve let myself get overwhelmed as I attempt too many things all at the same time and because of that there are things that I’ve fallen horribly behind on.
To cover my ass I should mention that the things that are making my living right now have received the appropriate amount of attention – I do have my priorities in line.
I’m now over four months past when I thought I would have started releasing the Wiggy Webs shorts that still sit in the editing computer in the bay waiting to be cut. This really bothers me. I think we’ve got some really fun content locked up in that machine, but I just haven’t found the time to cut it. I’m purposely mentioning it here so that I can call myself out and raise the personal pressure to get these segments cut and done.
Rene and I also want to do a travel show. We have some ideas that get us really excited, but it will probably be mid to late summer before we’ll have a chance to do anything about it.
Don’t be afraid to constantly comment or question about when these things are going to get done. Nothing motivates like the constant barrage of inquisitive voices!
See you tomorrow!
