We Won! And Other Pleadings :)
Live from Austin! I wanted to share with everyone that tonight we won the Greenlight Awards at SXSW! I can’t believe how exciting it was to get up there and bumble through a “thank you” speech. Articulate I was not
Anyway, I dedicated it to the fans of the show, and especially the donors because without them, we would have no cameras rolling! So, thank you, ever single person who has watched. It’s truly a dream come true.
Coincidentally, I came home to an email that we are one of 5 finalists for the Yahoo web series award! What a week! The other series are ahead of us in votes, so if you could click on the badge below, or go to:http://www.yvideoblog.com/and vote, I’d so appreciate it! I’m going to have half a rum and coke as a celebration! Whoooo! Such a lightweight!!

CONGRATS!!! This is my first post and I’m proud to be the first to congratulate you and the rest of The Guild.
March 12th, 2008 at 5:46 am
Grats on a much deserved win!
March 12th, 2008 at 5:50 am
Awesome! Congratulations, you really did deserve this award.
March 12th, 2008 at 5:50 am
As mentioned elsewheres… congrats on a well deserved win!
March 12th, 2008 at 6:21 am
Thanks so much you guys! TO celebrate I’m just sending emails and receiving them, it’s the best celebration ever!
March 12th, 2008 at 6:25 am
Congratulations! I’m looking forward to seeing more guild, and more awards for the guild. You must be so proud of yourself, as well as your cast and crew.
RE: Half a rum and coke
If I ever get into acting and I get wind that you’re casting, I’ll remember this.
March 12th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Grats!!! …As if I thought ya’ll would get anything less than #1. The Guild is totally awesome, and I tell people about it that I’ve barely met, so you know your fan base is only gonna keep growing ^_^
March 12th, 2008 at 6:39 am
Way to go. Also, voted-ded. Ed.
March 12th, 2008 at 7:17 am
Awesome! Congrats from Sweden!
March 12th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Congratulations on a well deserved win!
March 12th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
WooHoo…way to go!
BTW, I just voted and it looks like you guys are slaying the competition.
March 12th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Congratulations on the hometown win.
Sounds like a lot of hard work has gone into the series, and it’s all paying off.
Guess we all win, though, since this means more “The Guild” episodes?
And good thing you have a rabid and loyal fan following, the Yahoo! Video Award for Best Series will be yours! Muhaha.
Have fun with all your success, all it took you was to quit WOW (need to take your lead, lol).

Congratulations on the win Felicia. Will we get a Flog entry on the specifics of the trip? Did you ever find the party you were Twittering about? Did Zaboo make it in the door? Did tons of people ask for your autograph? Was there an official award ceremony?
Way to go!
March 12th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Brilliant!
March 12th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
I actually saw you and Zaboo walk out of the theater with all your other friends/col;eagues, while we were waiting to get into Second_Skin the documentary about MMORPGs and the virtual worlds they represent.
Where did you guys go to dinner? Austin is a very cool town!
I did not see you holding the big fake check that some other recipients had so I was not sure if you had won.
Congratulations on your win, I hope you guys keep it up. The webisode is amazing and this award along with your Yahoo award that is coming are well deserved. The work you all put into the show is impressive.
I look forward to each episode as I pass them along to all my guildies.
Good luck in the future.

Haha… Felicia, The Guild has gone from last place to first place (http://www.yvideoblog.com/) with 57% of the vote (about 570 votes) in less than a day…
You wield so much POWER!
March 12th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Congratulations! The Guild is awesome and y’all deserve it. Does this mean you’ve got a production deal with On Networks?
I enjoyed talking to you about the writing of the series at the Next New Networks party.
March 12th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
WOOHOO! Congrats! Y’all deserve it!
March 12th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
WOOOOT!!!!
And you’ve now got over three times the votes of your nearest competitor at the Yahoo! Video awards.
March 12th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Congratulations!
March 12th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Congratulations! I had my fingers and toes crossed, you deserved the win- here’s to the Y! Video award!
March 12th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Congratulations! Looks like another award is about to be won.
March 12th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
congrats Felicia & crew! i love The Guild and i hope it wins more awards!
March 12th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
WTG! I’m thrilled that you won, on account of you deserve it for all your hard work and dedication…we fans have the easy part…;)
March 12th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
I second all the good wishes and congrats! Well done, and well deserved! Nice people do finish first from time to time.
Of course, now the pressure is really on for those upcoming episodes…
Still, good job and good luck!
March 12th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
“The other series are ahead of us in votes,…”
Not anymore, they aren’t. =)
March 13th, 2008 at 4:29 am
Yay! That is so fantastic! With any luck Attack of the Show will pick you up for one of the SXSW clips.
March 13th, 2008 at 4:43 am
Stav you should have said hi! I wanted to see that screening, was it good?! Those guys were awesome to meet, I hope they come to LA to screen that movie!
I will write a blog entry about the trip, etc, but first I need to prep the shoot for episode 10….FRIDAY! EEP!
Also, thanks for kicking so much ass in the Yahoo awards. I almost feel bad for the other series, Guildies rawk!
March 13th, 2008 at 5:14 am
Awesome!~ Very well done Felicia and the rest of the Guild Team!!! YOu guys rock, keep up the good work!
March 13th, 2008 at 6:03 am
omededou!
March 13th, 2008 at 10:15 am
O, Felicia! I am so happy for you and all of those who have worked on The Guild! This is such great news and all of you are so deserving. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
March 13th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
It really is fascinating how the Guild is currently crushing the competition at Yahoo now, expecially if came from behind. Also, congrats to Felicia.
March 13th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Congratulations, and glad you had fun!
It’s gratifying to know that The Guild proves that a low-budget online webshow can be just as good (better) than the Big Six’s offerings.
March 13th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
I’m so glad you won! Your level of deservification was so high, it would’ve been criminal if The Guild hadn’t emerged victorious. It’s good to know that justice can still be found in this nightmarish pre-apocalyptic shadow land called America. Anyway, congrats!
March 13th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
CONGRATS!!!!!!!
The Guild is a wonderful show that deserves all the recognition that it gets.
You so ROCK…
March 13th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
You guys, I just got an email that we’re nominated for a YOUTUBE award as well! More info to come!
March 13th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Congratulations, my favorite Cheetos Girl!!!
March 13th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Congratulations, Felicia! Thoroughly deserved!
March 14th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Sincerest Congratulations!
This is GREAT news! Not just because you can continue the series, but it really gives you a chance to grow as a producer/writer!!
Felicia, I am really, REALLY happy that you have this wonderful new opportunity!
Thanks again for the laughs (and more to come!).
Hugs,
Carl

Forgot to mention: a recommended rum (if it’s still available).
Bacardi’s 8 year old rum is good enough to drink straight. It makes the best rum and coke that you have ever tasted.
Very, very smooth, with almost no “bite”.
Probably very dangerous for a lightweight.
