As you may have heard, we’ve been nominated for a 2008 Chicago Emmy for our work on the WTTW pilot IL-Informed!  Well, the awards ceremony is tomorrow night — and because we’re already booked at the Lakeshore (see us at 8 and 11 pm!), we figured it’d be a good idea to pre-record our acceptance speech with none other than Schadenfriend Tim Smithe, a bona fide Walter E. Smithe Brother.  Huge thanks to Tim, to Bill O’Neil for directing, and to everyone at their Lincoln Park Store — you dream it, they build it!

The word on the street (and on the Chicago Emmy’s web site) is that “IL-Informed” has been nominated for a Chicago Emmy! This is the pilot we did (with others) for Channel 11. It aired back in May and it was a sketch show making fun of all things local. We are happy to announce that we have been nominated in the category of “Outstanding Achievement for Arts/Entertainment Programs”. This is where I would now like to tell off my Geometry teacher from high school: so much for me not amounting to anything and ending up in prison. I got nominated for a Chicago Emmy, what have you done fat-ass? The ceremony is October 18th and we will be having a big party at the Lakeshore Theater to celebrate. Put it on your calendar.
