We flack our DVD!

Submitted by Andy Bichlbaum on March 17, 2010 - 3:29pm

New Yorkers! Here's a little series of local events we'll be involved in, starting today. They're interesting in themselves, but to top it off, we'll be using them to shamelessly flack our brand-spanking-new DVD, which is available in stores April 1 (and before then, from us directly). It comes with over 80 minutes of out-takes, weird old films we made a decade ago, and so on and so forth. Buy it from our site, and you'll get a free copy of the New York Times Special Edition as well.
