Today I received my second mention in the Daily Northwestern That Guy.
”We know that a few NU kids have graced the YouTube scene with renditions of bad songs or Cribs-style videos. This music video, created by senior Steve Persch, is by far the best. You’ll not only love the lyrics, but it’s just funny to see senior Travis Greisler’s head poke out randomly from behind the Rock to sing the chorus. There’s even a Facebook group for it, so you know it’s good. We might be a little biased because we think Steve Persch is hilarious, but it’s still worth checking out. It’s quirky. It’s fun. It is Northwestern.”
They included me on a top ten list of youTube. Who’d have thought I’d be mentioned on the same list as OK GO, R. Kelly, Borat and the Crazy N64 kid? Thanks to the the writers over at Play. I’m glad you guys like the video.
I hope this will drive up hits again. I got quite a surge after the first article. I’m sitting at 2,499 right now. It reminds me of something I read while at Lookingglass this summer. They had me going through old press clippings and there was a quote from David Schiwmmer saying that he realized that more people see a single episode of friends than have seen every Lookingglass performance combined. Is it possible that more people have seen this video than all of my Titanic shows? Maybe.
In an case, Titanic Players end of quarter show: December 1st. 8pm. Location-TBD.
