It's snowing outside and New York City has issued a Blizzard Warning and is shutting down schools, day cares, some businesses, and many restaurants.
All of us over at My Damn Channel are all alone in our homes today (missing each other terribly), but staying in touch via the magical world of the Internet.
Two of the crew sent in photos (above) of the snow along with a very special photo of what might be MDC's new mascot (move over sloth).
If you live in NYC, stay inside - unless you're throwing snowballs, stay warm, and check out the brand new uncovered footage of Spärhusen - filmed just 3 weeks before their tragic plane crash.

Mardi Gras is here (Jan 30 - Feb 16) and The Saints won the Super Bowl. Mitch Landrieu is the mayor of New Orleans and all seems right in the world.
To celebrate, My Damn Channel threw a Mardi Gras party that was inevitably crashed by our own Grace Helbig and Dave Ahdoot (and ended up being WAY more fun than we intended). Look out for an all new Grace Crashers - presented by Southern Comfort - coming soon!
That's not all - we were paid a surprise visit by two very special My Damn Channel viewsers (Smokybanjo & Puca) who came all the way from Ireland to join in on the fun.
We don't care what that groundhog said last week, Spring is soooo on the way.
January 30th kicked off the first night of Mardi Gras 2010 and our own Harry Shearer became King of New Orleans - appointed by Captain of

Deep in the dirt of some place not in America, scientists
have found the remains of a four foot, 120 pound female from a really, really
long time ago named Ardi. Ardi’s hunched
shoulders, propensity for nudity, and un-groomed body hair were strong
indications that she was an early My Damn Channel fan. You human descendants of Ardi can continue
watching MyDamnChannel.com just as Ardi did 4 million years ago right here.
It may be wise for us to let the Beatles Rock Band take over the world for a few days before putting out the My Damn Channel 'new fall season' announcements.
We do have a new deal with Sir Paul McCartney - in some fashion. And we'll reveal all the secrets about new, XTRA LARGE talent & a full slate of new series...

plus your resume, and specific availability to: Info@MyDamnChannel.com
Two years ago, on 7/31/07, we declared independence from everything old. We launched our new show business battleship on a mission to deliver the best original video series to your fingertips n’ eyeballs. We set sail for a new world free from the ridiculous, red-tape creating ways of radio, TV, & film.
In two years, we’ve built a new studio to produce the entertainment – a network to showcase the goods – and a syndication business to help it all fly far and fast.
We knew if we avoided idiotic start-up mistakes, we’d have a shot at building a creative and financial win. The past two years have been about building our brand, signing talent, co-creating hit series, finding a mass audience, and finally making real revenues from multiple streams.
Our advertisers keep fueling this fun because they know that we’re one of the new companies who can deliver three essential must-haves for new media messaging to make sense for brands:
1) highest-quality, star-driven entertainment
2) customized distribution to any digital platform
3) guaranteed traffic
As we start our next trip 'round the sun thanks go to our ARTISTS. The musicians, comedians, filmmakers, actors and revolutionaries who believed in us when we were schmucks with a PowerPoint now have a safe haven to produce and distribute video directly to fans. Most of our first famous friends are all still here. And thanks go to the newest members of the My Damn Channel line-up for signing on to put us to work on their behalf. We’re getting ready to announce a handful of mind-blowing deals with more stars from da movies and da teleevision.
Special thanks to every one of you who watch and share My Damn Channel videos. The minute we start screwing up, you stop watching, and it’s game over. Thanks for teaching us how to serve at your pleasure.
If you’ve worked inside our small, determined crew, please accept a personal thank you for putting in the brains, sweat and passion to prove this all works. Warren and I are forever mindful of what you’ve brought to this picnic.
Warren Chao is the Co-Founder & COO of My Damn Channel turning ideas into action. I’ve never seen anyone combine so many skills to make up the super-human-management sensation that Warren embodies. The man is awesomely inspiring and the essential ingredient inside this thing.
We share our My Damn Channel birthday with Mark Cuban, J.K. Rowling, and a visionary named Marc Averitt. Marc is our Board Director, and the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Okapi Venture Capital. We pay tribute to the man who first believed in our vision. And we mark our two-year milestone honoring every investor who helped put technology to work for our content creators, our audiences, distribution partners, and advertisers.
We’re about to make an announcement about new investment, new revenue deals, new series from our current stars and a few jaw-droppers if tonight’s midnight emails are to be believed.
Our next new pilot may be live within hours of this post…
Thanks for being here.
