mv wil /home /SanFrancisco/techTV/
Hey you guys!
(Was it Sloth, or Electric Company? I quote, you decide.)
I'm going to San Francisco tomorrow morning to tape an episode of Call For Help, and also to appear on The Screen Savers. TSS will be live, CFH will air at some undisclosed time in the Mysterious Future.
So if you're interested in seeing my double chin in all its glory, check your local listings and do your thing.
I will probably take lots of cameraphone pictures, and maybe an audioblog or two while I'm up there, too.

Before you ask, no, nobody has died. My entry title is in fact brilliantly witty, because it refers to my life in two distinct ways. Firstly... the more astute amongst you may remember a while back when I referenced W.H.... [Read More]
Electric Company!
Go show the TechTV guys how it's done, Wil!
BTW, it was Rita Moreno screaming that!

Posted by: Kevin at April 20, 2004 09:51 PMWil,

THEY OFFED YOU MAN !

That was wrong, just wrong.
Have a good day tomorrow...

Clay
Posted by: Clay at April 20, 2004 10:28 PMActually, I remember *Grover* saying that on Sesame Street a few times. Generally when he was wearing the cape and helmet. ;)
Posted by: Stax at April 20, 2004 10:33 PMI do not have the channels to watch you on. How ever, I do hope and believe that you will RAWK.
Posted by: angry penguin at April 20, 2004 10:42 PMSloth! although....you gave me pause for a moment. But then I couldn't remember WHAT Electric Company lady always yelled, and Sloth was clear as a bell in my head. So. Sloth! Sloth love Chunk!
Posted by: angeline at April 20, 2004 10:46 PM
Wil! You GOONIE! :)
Electric Company the later used by mother to wake my sister and I up. Now that's a powerful memory. Get it? Electric? Powerful? Eh, nevermind...
Posted by: Magus at April 20, 2004 11:15 PMI for one look forward to it. Viva la double chin!
Posted by: theanonymousbrit at April 20, 2004 11:30 PMSomebody tape all these TV shows and send them to us poor bums in the UK so we don't feel so left out.
Posted by: Griff at April 20, 2004 11:34 PMSloth all the way, baby!
Posted by: Placebo Effect at April 21, 2004 12:28 AMHooray for your double chin!
And I vote for Sloth -- I gotta tell ya, between Goonies and Stand By Me, my childhood crush chest was all full up.
Posted by: Marie at April 21, 2004 12:51 AMElectric Company Definately!
I just wanted to say have a good time and good luck!
Beth
Posted by: Beth Rose Pizana at April 21, 2004 12:56 AMYou are SO LUCKY. San Francisco is the best city in the world. I went to college not too far from "the city" and I miss it (both the school and the city)! Can I go too? I'm little, I fit in most luggage! Have lots of fun, you've earned it. :)
Oooh oooh and if you go by the MOMA, send us a pic of the Sky sign. I love that thing! :)
Posted by: Erin at April 21, 2004 01:18 AMThis is totally presumptuous of me, and rather embarassing to boot, but let's say I happen to be at the studio, would it be okay for me to ask for a photograph?
Actually, I'd probably be too shy to do it. But, y'know, just in case...?
Posted by: Nicole Lee at April 21, 2004 01:55 AMElectric Company
Posted by: Little_Kenny at April 21, 2004 02:25 AMHave a good time man!
And ask Kevin Rose when the next video from The Broken is going to be out for me! :) [www.thebroken.org]
Posted by: Wolf at April 21, 2004 03:30 AMHey Wil,
you should register at mobog.com and then we could see your cameraphone pics as you take them.
Posted by: Chuck at April 21, 2004 04:44 AMHave you been reading the posts on the Soapbox, Wil?
Posted by: joshua neff at April 21, 2004 04:52 AMHEY YOU GUYS!
We're gonna turn it on... We're gonna bring you the power...
We're gonna light up the night with a light as bright as the brightest day...
We're gonna turn it on... We're gonna bring you the power...
(something) Comin' down the lines, through the courtesy... Of the Electric Company!
I don't remember (Super) Grover ever yelling that on Sesame Street.
Posted by: Kit at April 21, 2004 05:27 AMI seem to remember Super Grover yelling it on Sesame Street, but I also seem to remember it being a reference to the Electric Company.
Posted by: joshua neff at April 21, 2004 05:29 AMWith all due respect to Goonies, it's definitely more evocative of Electric Company.
Posted by: Craig Steffen at April 21, 2004 05:37 AMSloth. I head Sloth when I read that. Mostly because it's been 20 years since I watched the Electric Company and not even 20 days since my last viewing of the Goonies.
Posted by: sassy at April 21, 2004 06:06 AMYou should consider using Blojsom. It is an open source, java based, blog software that already allows picture posts and will offer remote posts via email any day now!
Posted by: Chad at April 21, 2004 06:24 AMi love sauntering(ok....walking purposefully in a rugged,manly fashion....sheeeesh....people)down memory lane with this forum....
Wil....don't turn your head....but that squirrel is eye-balling you(ok...film reference)....act casual....no....screaming is not casual...but perhaps that is your "leetle joke"...rain
Baby? Baby? Baby Ruth!
Posted by: Mark Warren at April 21, 2004 06:33 AMHey, over on Leo's weblog he said that Wil will be hosting on Friday, April 23, and Monday, April 26. Just a bit o info.

Sloth love Chunk!

Posted by: Artemis at April 21, 2004 08:21 AMHey Wil, I think you meant:
mv /home/wil /SanFrancisco/techTV/
;-)
Posted by: Gudlyf at April 21, 2004 08:24 AMHey Wil,
I saw you on an old episode of Family Ties the other night. So cute!
Wil...you're supposed to let me know sooner that you're coming up. I can't get to SF on such short notice! Now I can't fangirl today.
Posted by: =^) at April 21, 2004 08:29 AMHey, you're going to visit the Salon office, right?
Posted by: Saloner at April 21, 2004 08:34 AMwhy do i spend hours sitting in Wil's electric back yard...playing with his Tonka toys?....dammit...i have a LIFE....what is your mom fixing for lunch Wil?....i'm allergic to Spam....
Posted by: pilch at April 21, 2004 08:34 AMYou in SF today...me stuck at an Earth Day event in San Jose. :( (I "volunteered" to work a booth for my non-profit.)
You've got to make a longer trip sometime; heck, Great America's got a new water park the boys would probably like, or you can even take them to the Intel Museum so they can see how it all began...
Enjoy the trip.
I can't seem to catch any of your stuff up here in BC; it doesn't seem to appear on any of the non-subscription channels. Bummer.
Posted by: synchronicity at April 21, 2004 09:19 AMBy what name shall we refer to your double chin? :-) Have fun on the show!
Posted by: Tim at April 21, 2004 09:57 AMBeing a redhead, I always fancied myself like Andie, but looking back, I was definitely more a combination of Mikey and Stef.
Regardless, my own double chin quivers in anticipation of seeing yours on TV.
Posted by: Winona at April 21, 2004 10:15 AMWil-
Was reading through your archives, just wanted to say thanks, and as a fan I'm really proud of you. I don't know, it just seems like from 2001 to now you took a huge, leaping step back from the brink of something dark and forboding. Maybe it's just me and my impression, but there was a moment where I felt really greatful that you were around, and relieved, I guess, that professionally/personally/grammatically, you're doing ok. Alot of people are really, really glad you're here. And I thought someone should tell you, in case it hadn't been said in a while. You boldly rock what no one has rocked before. Thanks for being someone we, a group of fan-types, like/admire/respect. Stuff like that. Later.
I say the correct answer is:
Wil quoting Sloth quoting The Electric Company.
There. All the bases are covered.
Does Pilch remind anyone of Spudnuts?
Posted by: AngelGypsy at April 21, 2004 10:28 AMgive em hell uncle willie! and if u run into Morgan Webb, tell her i said hi. She's purdy.
Posted by: redfro at April 21, 2004 10:41 AMWow, check out that pic of you on the TSS site. HOTT.
Posted by: Ana at April 21, 2004 11:27 AMElectric Company, all the way.
Wait-though--did sloth have a double chin?
;)
Posted by: linguikat at April 21, 2004 11:30 AMGrover "Heeeeeyyyy Everyyyyboddddy"
Electric Company "Heeeey Yooooou Guuuuuys"
I love Noggin...
Posted by: Tigagirl at April 21, 2004 11:39 AMSloth all the way BABY!
God I love that movie, my sister and I watched it every Sat, when we were kids, and only once a month nowa days.
good luck your way Wil, I will totally be watching.

Posted by: Keith Coogan at April 21, 2004 11:59 AMThe Electric Company! My favorite part of that show was "The Adventures of Letterman" who always happened to have the correct letter on his chest with which to save the day.
I just saw Goonies for the first time last year when I was attempting to watch Sean Astin's filmography. I know, I have been under a rock for a long time! I really liked Goonies, but I don't own it yet.
Posted by: Jessica at April 21, 2004 12:17 PMDefinitely Sloth...
Oh yeah and is Chunk's jacket Orange or Red?
I say Orange..
Posted by: Caitlin at April 21, 2004 12:18 PMI vote Sloth. :)

Posted by: Sherrie at April 21, 2004 01:08 PMLeo announced that Wil is going to host CFH on Friday AND Monday. WW Triple Threat on TechTV! WooHoo! :)
Posted by: Brandi at April 21, 2004 01:12 PMWil, sorry hon but there's NO WAY your double chin looks as good as mine!

Posted by: pilch at April 21, 2004 02:10 PMGrover. No doubt about it.
Wil, I think you'd enjoy this Neal Stephenson interview over on Salon:
http://www.salon.com/books/int/2004/04/21/stephenson/index.html
On the last page he talks about the writing process and it sounds like some of the things you have talked about. Plus, it is just a cool interview. Cheers.
Posted by: phriedom at April 21, 2004 02:17 PMI used to LOVE Rita Moreno when I was a kid. Then I saw The Postman Always Rings Twice with Jack Nicholson. The scene at the end of the movie where Rita, playing a hooker, "helps" Jack get, well, you know. Totally blew my mind.

Sloth's voice was definitely going in my head the second I read that quote!
Goonies ROCK!

Posted by: escaflowne at April 21, 2004 03:55 PMI never miss him when he goes to techtv. Never.
btw: Electric Company
Posted by: thatweirdgirl at April 21, 2004 04:13 PMSo, having recently seen Toy Soldiers and Deep Core, it was sort of refreshing to see you not dying a horrible death.
What double chin? Don't be silly.
Posted by: Sophie at April 21, 2004 06:50 PMI vote Sloth! Love Goonies. I know I watched Electric Company growing up but I don't remember any of it.
FYI - Finally got to picking up Dancing Barefoot. Loved reading it! I enjoy the site but didn't realize how moved I would be with the stories. Very descriptive.
Posted by: Sarah at April 22, 2004 08:24 AMElectric Company, although I was too young to watch the original episodes lol. Man that show was trippy...
Posted by: Catrina at April 22, 2004 03:34 PMdude, why isn't dancing barefoot availabe in libraries???
it'll be hitting a shelf in Maryland soon:
