“Jessica, What Are You Listening To? Dating an Avatar? What?!” Oh, You Have Much to Learn!
Do You Wanna Date My Avatar?
The Guild crew has made a music video! It’s amazing, of course. It features Felicia Day, Amy Okuda, and everyone else!
Watch the video from The Guild YouTube Page: Do you Wanna Date My Avatar?
Joss Whedon likes the video, of course:
“Okay, usually I stay above such matters. But this video must be number one!!! Who is this Taylor Swift? Some evil robot, PROBABLY. (Although an evil robot vid would also potentially be cool.) (But fine! She can be number two!) The point is, I love this video to distraction (and inevitable procrastination). It has Felicia — and money! Felicia LYING IN money! Combo-ed! Plus Vork, turkey legs, and the Solid Guild dancers! I care!
And I’m hobbled here, peeps. I don’t twitter (I occasionally Glitter and Be Gay, but that’s it), can’t digg, or favorite, or friend… In fact I don’t understand why my typewriter has a TV on it. I’M NOT SAVVY. But I really want this to be big. It’s indie (which is the most important part), it’s awesome, and it’s made by people that I friended in the old-fashioned way of being friends with them. (Okay, technically, I brothered Jed before I friended him, but he’s still super-talented.) So help me out. Let’s go the extra mile here and DESTROY THE SWIFTBOT! Then I can get back to the business of making Dollhouse stranger.
Digg deep, people.”
Smoochez! -joss.

I’m going to be talking to Wil Wheaton about the Leverage season finale soon, and wouldn’t you know that he loves this video?
Wil Wheaton’s twitter:
@feliciaday Congratulations on all the #datemyavatar success today! Kick ass.
Uh oh – are you not yet following me on Twitter? I want to follow you back and obsess about trivial TV details, so get on that! Who else is going to disect Nancy Botwin’s (Weeds) psyche if not us?!

I sent this to my friend Josh, who has actually seen and enjoyed The Guild. Now guess what’s the current music on his newest LJ post.
If you guessed “the guild (feat. felicia day), ‘(do you wanna date my) avatar’,” then you would be correct. You are starting a TREND. ooooooh yeah.

Ahahaha, I didn’t start it – but I’m glad to help feed it! Josh is officially cool.
And Kerstin, you are officially the most amazing! I got your postcard today! It makes me smile and it came on a really good day for me to feel a little boost.
Thank you so much.
