The What Is: Did'ja Kno? Youth Vote Parody

The Millennials Conference Welcomes Twixters

Narrator Mood - Talkative

So, if you're our friends over at facebook and YouTube - you know that Dan and Wes the co-creators of Twixters were confirmed as Speakers at the Millennials Conference at the Royal York in Toronto. They will be talking about "The Five Things You Should Know About Our Generation". The guys will be using some of your responses that you emailed to us through YouTube and Facebook and will let the marketing community know not to ignore us. Or maybe to ignore us? Depending on your level of cynicism.

As we've blogged about Millennials is the newest term for our generation and who better to talk about Millennials than the only comedy series on television about Millennial Life? Remember Quarterlife doesn't count because it's not a comedy on purpose.

For more info check out the You Tube Video and be sure to join our YouTube Page and facebook group - to get in on all the latest news about the series.







Yours Truly,
The Narrator aka Not Dan writing in the third person.

Twixters in the Press - The Toronto Star

Twixters in The Toronto Star

Meet the Press! now with more Narrator Babble

Narrator Mood: Chipper or something less lame sounding.

Okay, so sometimes Narrator's do press. The picture above is from today's Toronto Star. The article gives our take on our generation and also reminds you that this winter is "winterlicious" apparently. (see picture) Winterlicious indeed -Freedom of the press! They are free to have as many ad's as they like.

So, incase you only believe in reading one thing a day and we're filling you're quota - here's the Coles' Notes. Twixters is the must watch show of the year, if you can find the show. Okay, so it's not a review of the show but more of a review of our generation. I give us two thumbs up and Peter Travers calls us "generationtastic - a comic romp!" - Okay, so it's not a review of our generation either but sometimes Narrators hate Peter Travers.

The article showcases our characters and view point of a generation and takes a good first step in all of us reclaiming Time Magazine's label of "Twixters". It also takes a good first step in hopefully never having to hear the term "Millennial" again. I for one refuse to be called anything that conjures up images of Robbie Williams - by the way the picture on the left won "creepiest lifeguard picture ever taken 1995". The picture on the right was taken from the Annie Leibovitz book "Pictures lit from under rock".

Where was I? Oh right, Peter Travers really bothers me - "Big Willie has no problem holding the screen"... - Peter Travers on I am Legend. Yes, he really wrote that - fact check me I dare you.

But I digress... and leave you with this quote that will live on forever in the Toronto Star microfilm library or for the next seven days in the online search category, whichever comes first.

If our series/blog/facebook group teaches you anything it teaches you this

About his generation of Twixters: "We don't live in our parents' basements because we're dependent and sad. We live in our parents' basements because we're poor."

I think even Morley Safer can agree to that, if he finds his meds first.

With Love From My Parent's Basement,

The Narrator

Stay tuned for more blahgs.

Sometimes Narrators Take Long Christmas Vacations

Narrator Mood: Rested
Music: "I Don't Like Mondays" - That angsty guy who cares about Africa.

Happy New Year - Beth's face sums up my thoughts on 2008.

Finally, after a long Christmas and New Year rest - I'm back with news (and by back with news - I mean- someone told me I have to keep blogging on this thing... so I said - well give me some news then, I'm not a typing monkey!).

So here's the news - you can now watch the first six episodes of the series on the bite tv website by clicking here. Click the videos tab and under keyword type "Twixters". Also stay tuned for more blogs by myself and guest "Twixters" - it's a community - we're a bitter community with no money but a community nonetheless.

Signed,

Your Narrator
