This is an eight minute improv that Patton Oswalt pulled out of his ass while filming a guest star piece for Parks and Rec. The best part is we would pay to see the Star Wars he describes.

Struck Blows Our Freaking Minds.

Lagoon. What can be said about the Davis County pseudo amusement park? It's equal parts sad and inspiring. Childhood memories in a wrapper of early decay. Visiting the park as an adult is like visiting that teenage part of yourself that the grownup part denies ever existed. For us the magic of Lagoon isn't in the rides, it's in the thrill of nostalgia. Struck has done a beautiful job of capturing that sentiment in their new work for Lagoon. Our hats go off to you Struck. We'll meet you under the Rollar Coaster.

This is a great bit from Jimmy Kimmel. What's funny is the story telling that happens in the last thirty seconds of this bit is way better than any of the story lines in the prequels.

Yeah, so you may have noticed we've slowed down a bit lately. Just know it's not you it's us. You guys are still doing fantastic work. We have run into a bit of a staffing issue as of late. That and an incredibly busy day job work schedule. So if you'd be interested in pitching in and becoming an editor for the SLC Egotist, let us know. We would love to get a few more boots on the ground. In the mean time, we'll keep posting. And you guys just keep being awesome.

Cheers,

We love Spotify. In fact, at this very moment we are using Spotify to pump up the jams at the Egotist HQ. It's great. And they have just released they're first spot in the US. And just like the service itself, the spot is rad.
