Clapkees, Blerds Get Red Eye/Trib Coverage
The Clapkees (AKA the Blewt fellas, who produce Don't Spit the Water, among other things) are featured in today's Red Eye, in a special story about YouTube's apparent power to turn unknown creative types into NBC sitcom deal-landing stars. (No, the Clapkees don't have a deal with NBC. But you never know.)
Also, in Sunday's Tribune, flip through the Arts and Entertainment section for a little sumpin' sumpin' about the Blerds and their online video exploits.
It's like we keep saying to the Chicago comedy community - get your stuff online! People who write big checks are watching. And yeah, there's lots of junk and fakery, but the cream will rise to the top, and you're a fool to ignore this channel for your expressions.

Now I'm not sure if the Blerds Trib article comes out this Sunday or next. We shall see.

A while ago you guys posted about IO's Improv Shakespeare and mentioned a video clip. The clip was never posted, and I'd love to see it if you can email it to me.
