KRAKOOM!: Bret's Blog
May 5th, 2008
Sock it to ‘em
Wow. I was planning to write a blog on summer movies, but I guess that’ll have to wait.
What the sock is going on? I mean, one seemingly harmless post on this tiny microcosm of the webiverse and all of a sudden the entire ‘net is reporting on it??? I’m talking, of course, about the whole “Save Reaper with Socks” campaign.
When Dave (Editor’s note: David Baldy, Bret’s writing partner and majority contributor to krakoom) first suggested the idea, I loved it. Not because I thought anyone would actually do it, but because it made me laugh – and that’s really all I strive for here. But now… well, now I see this site as so much more. I mean, it’s a powerful thing to be able to share a few words with your fans and have literally thousands respond to it. And, well, I just want you all to know that’s not lost on me.
As for the actual campaign, whether it works or not, I’ll still be happy knowing we did all we could do to keep the dream alive. That said, the CW doesn’t announce their new fall schedule until May 13th so that gives us 8 more days to make our voices heard. Keep those letters, emails and foot warmers flowing.
We’ve come this far, let’s finish this.
