Hey you guys!
(Was it Sloth, or Electric Company? I quote, you decide.)
I’m going to San Francisco tomorrow morning to tape an episode of Call For Help, and also to appear on The Screen Savers. TSS will be live, CFH will air at some undisclosed time in the Mysterious Future.
So if you’re interested in seeing my double chin in all its glory, check your local listings and do your thing.
I will probably take lots of cameraphone pictures, and maybe an audioblog or two while I’m up there, too.

  7. More heads up when you’re going to be up here@! I totally would have come to see you live (wearing my WWDN T-Shirt that you’ve still not put up the picture of yet! ;D)!!
    Clay

  8. Actually, I remember *Grover* saying that on Sesame Street a few times. Generally when he was wearing the cape and helmet. 😉

  10. Sloth! although….you gave me pause for a moment. But then I couldn’t remember WHAT Electric Company lady always yelled, and Sloth was clear as a bell in my head. So. Sloth! Sloth love Chunk!

  12. Electric Company the later used by mother to wake my sister and I up. Now that’s a powerful memory. Get it? Electric? Powerful? Eh, nevermind…

  16. Hooray for your double chin!
    And I vote for Sloth — I gotta tell ya, between Goonies and Stand By Me, my childhood crush chest was all full up.

  18. You are SO LUCKY. San Francisco is the best city in the world. I went to college not too far from “the city” and I miss it (both the school and the city)! Can I go too? I’m little, I fit in most luggage! Have lots of fun, you’ve earned it. 🙂
    Oooh oooh and if you go by the MOMA, send us a pic of the Sky sign. I love that thing! 🙂

  19. This is totally presumptuous of me, and rather embarassing to boot, but let’s say I happen to be at the studio, would it be okay for me to ask for a photograph?
    Actually, I’d probably be too shy to do it. But, y’know, just in case…?

  21. Have a good time man!
    And ask Kevin Rose when the next video from The Broken is going to be out for me! 🙂 [www.thebroken.org]

  24. HEY YOU GUYS!
    We’re gonna turn it on… We’re gonna bring you the power…
    We’re gonna light up the night with a light as bright as the brightest day…
    We’re gonna turn it on… We’re gonna bring you the power…
    (something) Comin’ down the lines, through the courtesy… Of the Electric Company!
    I don’t remember (Super) Grover ever yelling that on Sesame Street.

  25. I seem to remember Super Grover yelling it on Sesame Street, but I also seem to remember it being a reference to the Electric Company.

  28. Sloth. I head Sloth when I read that. Mostly because it’s been 20 years since I watched the Electric Company and not even 20 days since my last viewing of the Goonies.

  29. You should consider using Blojsom. It is an open source, java based, blog software that already allows picture posts and will offer remote posts via email any day now!

  30. i love sauntering(ok….walking purposefully in a rugged,manly fashion….sheeeesh….people)down memory lane with this forum….
    Wil….don’t turn your head….but that squirrel is eye-balling you(ok…film reference)….act casual….no….screaming is not casual…but perhaps that is your “leetle joke”…rain

  33. The Electric Company: Morgan Freeman as “Easy Reader”
    Tell me about double chins… And that marathon walk is approaching fast Wil.

  35. Woot! Sloth all the way!! Goonies Rock! (Is really starting to feel old after this one.)
    What am I talking about? You would all laugh at me for the old comment, some of you probably slap me! Haha!
    Lotus

  39. Wil…you’re supposed to let me know sooner that you’re coming up. I can’t get to SF on such short notice! Now I can’t fangirl today.

  41. why do i spend hours sitting in Wil’s electric back yard…playing with his Tonka toys?….dammit…i have a LIFE….what is your mom fixing for lunch Wil?….i’m allergic to Spam….

  42. You in SF today…me stuck at an Earth Day event in San Jose. 🙁 (I “volunteered” to work a booth for my non-profit.)
    You’ve got to make a longer trip sometime; heck, Great America’s got a new water park the boys would probably like, or you can even take them to the Intel Museum so they can see how it all began…
    Enjoy the trip.

  45. Being a redhead, I always fancied myself like Andie, but looking back, I was definitely more a combination of Mikey and Stef.
    Regardless, my own double chin quivers in anticipation of seeing yours on TV.

  46. Wil-
    Was reading through your archives, just wanted to say thanks, and as a fan I’m really proud of you. I don’t know, it just seems like from 2001 to now you took a huge, leaping step back from the brink of something dark and forboding. Maybe it’s just me and my impression, but there was a moment where I felt really greatful that you were around, and relieved, I guess, that professionally/personally/grammatically, you’re doing ok. Alot of people are really, really glad you’re here. And I thought someone should tell you, in case it hadn’t been said in a while. You boldly rock what no one has rocked before. Thanks for being someone we, a group of fan-types, like/admire/respect. Stuff like that. Later.

  47. I say the correct answer is:
    Wil quoting Sloth quoting The Electric Company.
    There. All the bases are covered.
    Does Pilch remind anyone of Spudnuts?
