Thursdays with Built From Bricks

Brian from Built From Bricks
Photo-A-Day #4363

Every Thursday I head over to my friend Brian’s house. For a while we were filming a show called SteamDads. It was a science based show that we enjoyed at first but really ran out of steam once we stopped coming up with experiments and ideas. It was fun to shoot but took a long time and didn’t really find much of an audience.

Brian asked me if I wanted to help him out and film an episode of his show, Built from Bricks. I agreed and it has been fun ever since. We’ve done all sorts of shows. The most popular show has been the City Updates. Brian has such a cool LEGO City being built in his garage. Each week he has something new happening and it is awesome. Tonight we shot a whole behind the scenes video that included a studio tour. The photo from today was what I shot for our Thumbnail for the episode. You can watch it below. If you haven’t already, please subscribe. We are closing in on 100 subscribers and when that happens we are going to do a big giveaway.

Brian even agreed to help me out with an episode of Big Damn Kid. I’m looking forward to going to Philly Brickfest Live with him in April. I think people are going to love the MOCS he made for his LEGO City.

New Comic Book Day – I Cracked My Vlogging Phone!

Sweet Kids at Dinner
Photo-A-Day #4287

Last night when I came home from filming SteamDads and Built from Bricks I was putting something into the Recycling and had too many things in my hand, the phone slipped out and smashed to the ground. Now it has a shattered glass but it still can be used. Brian and I chatted later on and he suggested that I put masking tape on it. Good idea. At least I can still film on it. I just didn’t use it today to illustrate that it was broken.

I had an eye appointment today so I had to get drops and that mean feeling messed up all day long. But no time to sleep. I was running all around. Making sure that my Big Damn Kid video for today was ready to publish and last night’s videos had rendered. Then I recorded tomorrow’s video at my local comic book store, Wild Time Comics. I completely forgot to mention where I was while filming. DOH!

I found a notice from Marvel Collector Corps that the Smuggler’s Bounty box was a Christmas gift for loyal customers. That was in my spam folder so, whoops, I guess my post from yesterday had me all kerfuffled.

I got a few new comics at Wild Time Comics and it will be a while until I actually get to read them. For now I’m doing the individual reviews one day at a time. Some days one ahead just because of my work schedule.

I took the kids out for dinner tonight. We walk into the restaurant and Andrew says to the hostess, “I like your hair!” She was so tickled. Then the server that sat us also got a compliment from Andrew. I have no idea where this came from. He’s such a little sweetheart and charmer. He loves to make people smile.
