Please click on the image to the left. It is a screenshot from the IRTS 2007 Facebook group. These are all the people in the program and all have been given an officer title. If you can figure out what the hidden message is within the titles… you win an exclusive Nick Brewer tote bag with complementary coffee mug.

So far some of the responses posted to the group have been…

I appreciate the kind gesture of giving me a title and all…but please explain what the hell it means. I haven’t the slightest clue. - Krystal Stevens

Totally raised in Texas! – Rachel Wasseran

Hiding somewhere in the night doesn’t compare to, ‘Ohhhhh Wahhhh Ohhhh Woahhhhhh’ any day of the week – Brian Graber (actually got it)

Enjoy the treasure hunt.

Take That Battlefield Earth!

Damn Battlefield Earth, it is such a terrible movie. But it’s one redeeming quality is that Mike Nelson (of MST3K fame) can totally rip it to shreds. His latest project is Rifftrax, where you download an mp3 for a few bucks and rent the movie and then play the two at the same time. Think of Pink Floyd and The Wizard of Oz, only with slightly less flying monkeys involved.

I had a few pictures that I was going to include with this post, but I think I’ll save them up for a full album on facebook. Oh, and I’m not all that big a fan of the Honesty Box on facebook. I’ve gotten a few notes that reveal things about me I don’t like. Why would somebody use that application to tell me something honest? I only use it to send notes to friends that they may or may not know are from me… i.e. “I know your secret, and pandas can cry on the inside too.” You know, those sort of honest notes.

But here is one picture I am really proud of that I didn’t have any hand in creating. Shayna did a portrait of me at the last min for one of her art classes. It has been up as my myspace pic for the past few weeks, but she touched it up and added a big thing of my tattoo as the background. Check out some of her other work here.

Work has been getting better and better. I’m loving the challenge of showing up at some random place in the city and having to become sort of a makeshift expert on the topic. On Monday I ended up in front of a CVS with Senator Schumer talking about pharmacies selling their client lists to places like Target. And today I went to Brooklyn twice, first time to do a story on a few houses that may have been a part of the Underground Railroad, and a second when I went to a press conference about the widow of Sean Bell talking about a new NYPD rule. Everybody who is holding the press conference becomes your best friend and is uber willing to give you information on what you are doing a story on.

And on the IRTS front, today we got to go to a “new media” panel at Fuse TV. Overall I think I got a lot out of it. Hell, it made me come straight home and blog about the experience. Everyone had a lot of great things to say, and gave everybody a lot of good ideas on how to try and start their careers. Most of the people on the panel didn’t start out in entertainment, but all of them ended up pretty high in these companies.
