My Saturday

Today I had planned on getting some painting down around the house.. we need to do the fixes our contractor did not complete. But before that I was going to work on my next Knights of the Guild podcast. I already edited some of the audio at work so half my job was done but when I went to import the audio file I found out it was corrupt and wouldn't play. So doing my podcast this weekend went down the tubes. By this time Harry was up so we started to do things around the house.. did a few paint touch ups here and there, but couldn't tackle the larger paint jobs (laundry room and master bathroom) because we didn't have any painters tape. I also put up all the pictures.. as we used those 3M stick up velcro things but pictures kept falling (and breaking) so I finally removed them all and went with good ol' nails.

Because we couldn't continue to paint without painters tape and other supplies. We headed to Lowes.. while out I wanted to get a DVD holder as we have out grown our three DVD shelves already. In the end we got our home supplies, picked up a larger DVD holder and stopped by Staples and got two very nice and expensive office chairs.

By the time we got home it was later and neither of us felt like painting so instead we watched six hours of Lost. We fell behind last season so we had to watch four hours form last season and then the 2 hour premiere of the final season. I knew once we started we wouldn't stop. After the 4 hours of last season it was almost midnight and I asked if Harry wanted to wait till tomorrow to watch the 2 hour premiere and he said.. we can watch them now.. it will end at 1:30ish so we stayed up and watch it..

I've loved Lost since I saw the pilot at comic con in 2004 and still loving to today.. it's confusing and crazy at times but it's such a fun roller coaster ride and I look forward to this final season. I haven't a clue what's happening or where it's going but you know what... I don't care... I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the ride.

New Hairdo

Since I've been growing my hair long I figured it was time to try something new.. I haven't highlighted my hair in over five years.. it's always scary to see how things turn out but as always it turned out pretty good.. I'm very happy with this look.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

I don't know alot about this movie.. I do know it was a series of cartoons but man it looks so cool.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Commerical

I am already planning to fly out to Orlando when this opens... I can't wait!!!!

I Am A Browncoat

On Saturday when we were done with the majority of the podcast and folks started to leave I wanted to get a group of us to do the "I am a Browncoat" video for the Browncoats: Redemption, a charity fan film. I also did several individual ones.

Kenny & Jenni

Skywalker Ranch... NOT

Okay so it was a wonderful dream while it lasted but I got an email from my friend Ray, who invited me yesterday and he informed me that his job is ending on Friday and he had to rescind his invite. I was bummed but I feel bad for him as he will now be jobless months before he was expecting it. Maybe one of these days I'll actually get to visit Skywalker Ranch.

While podcasting Jenni surprised me with a picture that the very talented Matthew Brackney drew.. I totally loved it...And if you don't understand it you must not listen to my podcast Knights of the Guild

Knights of the Guild : The story of Kenny and Jenni

My friend Chris wrote this very cool article about Jenni and I and our podcast.. I love it.

by Chris Feyrer Check out his website HERE

Kenny Mittleider always wanted to be popular. What he didn’t know was that he would be some day, hosting the Internet podcast Knights of the Guild, the official podcast of the web series The Guild.

Mittleider, in his late thirties, is a post production supervisor in southern California and a huge self-proclaimed geek, with a major Star Wars collection and a sweet, huggable teddy-bear personality.

Enter Jenni Powell, former Lonelygirl15 crew member and transplant to the crazy world that is Los Angeles, funny, quirky, irreverent, and chasing the dream of web series industry success.

Both offered their talents to Felicia Day’s web series The Guild crew back in the first run of the off-the-wall comedy about a group of addicted gamers forced to interact offline. Back then, all was funded by PayPal and run by volunteers, with Jenni as Production assistant and Kenny working behind the scenes on featurettes and in post production. Already fans, they became even more hooked while working on the show, with the access to the awesome cast, crew, and fan base that makes up the Guild community.

Thusly, a fan podcast was born.

Powell found herself Mittleider’s partner in crime, and together “Kenny and Jenni” have built quite a name for themselves not only for their excellent coverage of The Guild but for their great repoire and hilarious online personas.

From the first edition, it was clear that this was not your every day fan podcast. With professional quality audio production, show-to-show continuity, and clever lead-ins to each section of their show, Knights of the Guild launched a year ago and became a staple for fans looking for the latest and greatest in goings-on with the Los Angeles-based web series.

Kenny and Jenni make it look easy. What fans don’t see are the hours and hours of preproduction, organizing schedules with cast members for interviews, soliciting and handling fan feedback, dealing with crazy technical difficulties, and spreading the word near and far that goes on behind the scenes.

To both of them I wanted to say bravo and congrats for a year of hilarity, unicorns, one-liners, and insightful cast, fan and crew interviews.

If you are a fan of online gaming, comedy, or social outcasts, and you still haven’t seen The Guild, please quit living under your rock and go to http://www.watchtheguild.com and then check out Kenny and Jenni’s awesome Knights of the Guild podcast at: http://knightsoftheguild.com .

Hours of laughter later, you’ll understand why the podcast has thousands of downloads and the web series is in the top ten comedies on ITunes.

Skywalker Ranch

This morning one of our guests (Ray) who stayed the night invited me to Skywalker Ranch. He works there at least until April. My jaw dropped when he invited me. I mean I was coming off of a high from the night before and the great party/podcast but this threw me into the stratosphere. I am on cloud nine.. time to plan a road trip.

1 Year Anniversary Podcast: A Look Back

WOW!!!! that pretty much sums up last nights 1 year anniversary party/podcast. First of all there was a 1 hour warm up act with Jared Hoy and Andrew Seely who were on mic because Jenni and I were running around greeting our guests and such. Once we started the podcast it continued for over four hours of guildie goodness. So much great stuff that I think I'm going to break it up into 3 or 4 podcasts. After 11:30 when the party started to break up it turned into the "After-Hours" Karaoke night. Headed up by my best bud Will along with Jay, Meagan, Ray and Jenni they were singing up a storm until 1am.

It was truly and amazing night of friends, podcasting and good times. I would like to thank all our guests for making the trek out of my house (I live in the middle of nowhere). Felicia, Kim, Michele, Brian, Fernie, Andrew, Will, Mel, Jay, Greg, Jared, Sean, Megan and Ray.

It was an awesome night and I wish we did that for every podcast.
