ComiCon Anyone?
March 24, 2008
So, we’ve been looking into doing something at Comicon, we will have our Season 1 DVD out around then, but the booths are totally sold out! Does anyone know of someone who would be interested in sharing a booth they have, or at the very least, letting us do a Guest appearance at their booth to meet fans? Send us any ideas about ComiCon you have at watchtheguild (at) gmail.com! Thanks everyone!
Temporarily Taking Down Donor Button!
March 24, 2008
Well, we’re in an interesting position here at the Guild: We’ve made our whole budget for the season! Because of all the new contributors finding us through our recent awards, we have gotten enough money to pay our actors a bit, the first time they’ve ever made any money on The Guild, so thank you so much!
With an embarrassment of riches like this, we are facing a very long credits for Episodes 9 and 10, and, since we don’t know if we’ll have a production partner for season 2 or not, we don’t want to take people’s money until we know we need it. So for now, we’re taking off the Paypal button.
If, in a month or so, we end up having our donors sponsor Season 2, we will put back the button. Also, we’re putting together a DVD of season 1 with lots of yummy extras, that will definitely be able to jump start us on the Season 2 budget if we so need.
Please make sure to put your email in the mailing list to the right in the sidebar, so we can contact you about our Season 2 plans, and how you can help the show in the near future!
Thank you so much for your support. We look forward to making you laugh many more episodes in the future, most immediately with Episodes 9 and 10!
The Guild Wins the 2007 Best Series Award for Yahoo!
March 22, 2008
We are so excited to tell you that, thanks to your votes, The Guild has won the Yahoo 2007 Best Web Series Award! Along with winning the YouTube Best Series Award for 2007 on Thursday, and our winning the SXSW/On Networks Web Series award a few weeks ago, this has been a whirlwind month for our show!
We want to thank everyone, especially our donors for making it possible for us to film and make our episodes. Without you, there would be no show to garner attention and make people laugh.
We will be releasing episodes 9 and 10 on an accelerated schedule to ramp up to the end of season 1. Make sure to stay tuned. And again, thank you!
We Won!

Oops, we’re back up again!
March 18, 2008
So, the website went down today due to a user error by Felicia with the mailing list (Sorry to anyone who got an outdated email alerting them to EPISODE 4!?!) But thanks to uber fan, Edgar Garcia, the site is back on it’s feet again.
And…need I remind you to vote again in the YouTube awards?

SXSW Interviews with “The Guild” and…remember to Vote!
March 15, 2008
Remember to vote in the Yahoo Video awards! Break a Leg is creeping up on us, so if you haven’t voted, please just cast your vote, it’s an easy click! I suspect there’s a stealth campaign to steal the win, so don’t let that happen!
And most importantly, vote in the YouTube awards! You can vote EVERY DAY, 1 X per day, until the 19th, and our competition there is going to be very hard to beat. We’re in category with a big, glossy, corporate funded series, so help the little guy win…that’s us! :)
Here are a few interviews for you to enjoy from SXSW:
- Sandeep and Felicia are interviewed by Veronica Belmont at Mahalo Daily!
- Felicia speaks with TV Week about The Guild’s win at SXSW
- Sandeep speaks with The Escapist about internet fame!
Will update with more articles as our interviews are posted!
BTW…Please vote :)
OMG! Please Vote for us in 2007 YouTube Awards!
March 13, 2008
Well, it’s been quite a week here at The Guild. First SXSW/On Networks award, then the Yahoo series award (Thank you for your votes, we look to be ahead there) and NOW….
“The Guild” is nominated for best web series in YouTube’s 2007 awards!
http://www.youtube.com/ytawards07
You can vote ONE TIME A DAY until March 19th at midnight, so please go back and vote, multiple votes will mean a lot!
This will be a much tougher fight, but if you could take the time, it would mean EVERYTHING to us. YouTube has been our “home” for uploading and for our viewers, and a win here would absolutely be thrilling to share with all of you!
Vote and link everywhere, we REALLY appreciate it!
