Portal A Interactive is trying to get 1,000 fans on their facebook page before 11:59pm on June 24th. Yes, that’s in two days. Yes, we’re not even close to our goal. Don’t panic.

Here’s how you can help and get a sweet T-shirt at the same time:

1) Join our page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Portal-A-Interactive/31881380508

2) Suggest the page to your friends. Below the picture on the page is a button called “suggest to friends”. Suggest our page to 100 friends and we will send you complimentary T-Shirt. It’s honor code, but if you trust us to send you a shirt then we’ll trust you not to lie.

Here are the shirts you can win. We have three models, a Portal A shirt, a Huge in Asia shirt, and a Kai’s Face shirt. Let us know what shirt you want.*

Thanks for being our biggest fans. If we reach 1000, we won’t forget you.

Sincerely,

Portal A Interactive

*in the past, Kai’s Face t-shirts have gone fast. If we don’t have them in stock, we’ll send you a Portal A or Huge in Asia shirt.

Nate, Kai and lowly intern Sam make an attempt to get Portal A some local recognition. Very local.

Plus, if you fan us on Facebook and invite your friends to do the same you could win some devilishly cool prizes. Peep the vid for details.

Portal-A is at a critical juncture. In order to grow and promote our work on a greater scale, we need you to become our fans on Facebook.

So become a fan, invite your friends to do the same, and save a life in the process : )

I know I haven’t posted on the Portal A site in a long, long time but I’ve been a bit busy finishing up my thesis and trying to graduate from college. Luckily I completed everything and have now joined Nate and Kai in the ranks of college grads.

One interesting thing occurred in my chase to the diploma: the Senior Class Committee made a horrible mistake this year and selected me to deliver the “Ivy Oration” (read: pretentious term for ‘funny speech’) at Class day.

Here is the video below:

To continue my 10 seconds of fame, my mug was featured (in the background) on the NBC Today show because Matt Lauer gave a speech after me:

Finally, probably the most funny part of the day is my behavior in the background as the Ames award was presented (it was presented right before my own speech, given my blatant practicing):

Recently I’ve been asked to review films for the Rotten Tomatoes Show. It goes something like this: they give me a movie and some money; I go see the move; I webcam a review; they select 15 seconds of my five minute review, cut it with other people’s reviews and air it on TV (it gets aired on Current TV [bonus points if you've ever tuned in to that channel])

I’ve started to notice that they usually select serious quotes of mine. I’ve become the guy you relate to if you have no sense of humor and enjoy finding the hidden themes. Here’s a couple of the latest reviews:

Yesterday, I had the chance to conversate with the up-and-coming pop band, Chester French. Having released an acclaimed mixtape (”Jacques Jams Vol 1.: Endurance”) and a piping hot debut album (”Love the Future”) within the last two months, the band is now off on a world tour of live shows and loosely defined “parties.” Here’s the recording I made of our phone chat, in which we discuss their music, touring, and the future of video (hint: pretty soon, it’s going to be played on large boxes in people’s homes!). You can learn more about them and download their music at www.chesterfrench.com.
