(we’re super excited/overwhelmed that y’all sold out the first venue so quickly and we could move to somewhere bigger. thank you so much)

(also also, i paused my patreon for a little bit, but it’s back up and running now! i’m psyched to be back:  https://www.patreon.com/posts/october-progress-115045866  ) 

Get ready for a *SPECIAL* video on Monday: Earlier this year, Karen and I had the extreme pleasure of working on a pitch for a kids show called Outdoor Ed! I play Ed, a 20-foot-tall mountain man who wants to make a nature show with the help of his woodland friends and his sweet (if a little self-serious) producer, Business Duck (played by Victor Yerrid). Working on this allowed me to achieve two of my biggest dreams: hosting a kids show, and playing a character who is really tall.

It has stop motion and puppets and beautiful physical sets made by some of the best artists and craftspeople and puppet wranglers (official title) in the industry, and I cannot overstate how much fun it was to make. The show is all about the joys of creating things with your friends, and the experience of making this proof-of-concept video was much the same. We all volunteered to make this because we loved the show idea, so I feel no shame when I say:

PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO ON MONDAY! With your family! Your friends! The kids in your life! Anyone who loves silly songs, or nature shows, or art made by passionate humans! Even if the show never gets picked up, I'm so proud to publish it on my channel, and I hope it brings a little joy to your day. I can't wait for you to see it! 

IMPORTANT UPDATES in order of very important to very very important: 
1. My posting schedule on YouTube is gonna be SPECIAL this year! I’m making a bunch of videos, but I’ll be uploading them from July to December. This post explains it all:  https://www.patreon.com/posts/feb-2024-report-99348303 

2. If you want monthly updates on my video progress, you should sign up for my FREE Patreon! And if you want to watch the videos early and ad free, you should sign up for my PAID Patreon! I rarely publicize the paid Patreon, but since I’m choosing to ignore the YouTube algorithm for half a year, I should probably be more proactive!  https://patreon.com/briandavidgilbert 

3. I’ve got a new weekly stream called “Watch This While You Do Your Art”  https://twitch.tv/briandavidgilbert 
Every week I make some nonsense, like a cover of Cher’s “Believe,” or an 18-minute flute song for a fancy spa. I made it so you can put it on in the background while you do your art. It’s right there in the name. You can see old archives on my archive channel, BDGs VODs:  https://www.youtube.com/@bdgsvods 

4. I’m the fact checker on the new season of Um, Actually on Dropout! And I’m on Very Important People this Friday! They keep asking me to come do stuff and I’m very glad they do because it is always a LOT OF FUN.

5. I got a haircut. 💇 

I'm streaming for the next 6+ hours ( https://twitch.tv/briandavidgilbert ) while I try to find the NPC I voiced in Starfield! I'm also raising money for the ENTERTAINMENT COMMUNITY FUND! Come through!
