The Advance did a piece on High Schoolers asking them to give quick sound bytes about 9/11.

The above link is the story. I had to give ya’ll a cached version because SILIVE.com doesn’t have this story anymore.

Article here: http://www.silive.com/entertainment/arts/index.ssf/2008/08/young_at_art.html

The article discusses the up-and-coming young arts scene on Staten Island. I appear in it, (cause I made the site) and say this:

“I think we’ve gotten to the point where we’ve started to take ourselves seriously, which is good,” says Montagnino, who designed SIcoLab.org to be user-friendly and, more importantly, user-generated. “We need to not limit ourselves to one neighborhood or area. If you’re working with a group of artists, you need to push yourselves and each other in ways that you haven’t done before. It’s easy to be safe — I hope we don’t fall into that.”

Damn I’m prolific.

Every once in a while KRINK makes headlines (great PR right here). This time it’s in the form of a CNN feature.

here’s a link to the vid:

thx to my Esteemed Colleague for the heads up.

The AWE Section (Weekly Entertainment Pullout) featured us DAP kings this week. Here is a link to the article:

Nice write up about Krink. Thanks to my “esteemed colleague” for the heads up.

(i worked on the site)

Homosexuwhales has gotten some major press in the past two days, here are some of the accolades:

Featured on BestWeekEver.tv
A featured video on FunnyorDie.com
19,000 23,000 hits on YouTube…IN ONE DAY!!!
Featured on the January 25th, Attack of the Show on G4 TV, as an EPIC FAIL!!!

Awesome.

My only complaint is that Olivia Munn (eye candy) said that “the concept was better when it was Planet Unicorn“, a video the DAPS staff hasn’t seen until Best Week Ever made the comparison.

Planet Unicorn is a very popular video, and we welcome the comparison, but an outright claim that we stole the idea? I’m a little peeved. Having been in the comedy business for a number of years now, I understand what it means to steal material. Hacks steal, we don’t.

DAPS makes the best week ever blog for this video.

I know, I know, we rule.

Casa Segura got a write-up on BoingBoing.net yesterday and caused quite a ruckus. Get out your flamethrowers!

Well KR has gotten a write up in this months issue of Juxtapoz magazine. Small plug about krink.com at the end (not really). Werd Biz!!!

Well not really. I’m featured in this video for like 20 secs. but it’s 20 seconds more than you!! (unless you are michael mandiberg or the host. then it’s significantly less time on screen than you.)
