Our friends from Variety Shac are celebrating the release of their new DVD with a special performance at the Knitting Factory this Friday night. Big party = you don’t just get entertained by the lovely and talented Shonali, Heather, Andrea and Chelsea, you also get superstar guests like shey.net fave artist Cory ARRRRcangel, SNL’s Fred ARRRRmisen, the awesome Zach Galifianakis, and Eugene Mirman (Flight of the Conchords, Super Deluxe). Apparently you can buy tickets by texting SHAC to 467467 but I’m afraid to try it myself — just click on the poster below.

We’ll be there — hope to see all ye at the show. Yar.

Today we launched our first original animated series from Next New Networks, Channel Frederator’s Meth Minute 39, by genius animator Dan Meth. The first episode — Internet People! — is a tribute to everyone who’s entertained all of us on the web the last couple of years. Here’s the whole story behind its birth, but what’s untold (for now) is the amazing support the NNN team gave Dan and company to make this thing internet-ubiquitous in less than 12 hours. We published at noon, and right now the video is already on the front of MySpace, YouTube, DailyMotion, climbing on Digg, and embedded on dozens of sites and blogs… and I feel like it’s just getting started.

Hope you like it, and stay tuned for more episodes of Meth Minute 39, coming soon. Believe me, they actually get better than this one.
