The Office Season 4 Premiere Party T-shirt Designs

Huge, huge, massive props to Andrea for these designs. These are Office-inspired t-shirt designs. They're not lame fan swag — they're way cool. And they're not just shirts with boring words on them. They're pretty much the coolest thing ever. Those in attendance at the party brought their own shirts, and we printed these designs after the show was over.

The Office Season 4 Premiere Party Soundtrack

This is the first of probably several posts detailing our awesome Office Season 4 Premiere Party. This first item is a soundtrack, that will be playing as people arrive and leave. It comprises 20 songs that show up somewhere, somehow in the Office — and at the same time, it creates a nice trivia game. If you can identify where all of these songs show up in the show, then you're obsessed. Try it.

The tracklist:
  1. The Cardigans - Lovefool
  2. The Police - Roxanne
  3. Jewel - You Were Meant For Me
  4. The Cranberries - Zombie
  5. Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine
  6. James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover
  7. Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire
  8. Elton John - Tiny Dancer
  9. Travis - Sing
  10. U2 - With or Without You
  11. Styx - Lady
  12. The Tokens - The Lion Sleeps Tonight
  13. R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts
  14. Sarah McLachlan - The Rainbow Connection
  15. Kenny Rogers - The Gambler
  16. Bobby Day - Rockin' Robin
  17. Eddie Money - Two Tickets to Paradise

  20. Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton - Islands in the Stream

Thank you, JetBlue.

I flew JetBlue on my recent trip to New York. I find no need to use any other airline. JetBlue is the best.

First of all, it was the cheapest flight I could find to New York and back on short notice—and that was even into JFK instead of LaGuardia, which is usually more expensive.

Second, they have TV's for every seat where you can watch real TV.

Third, they have blue potato chips.

But my flight back was, even for JetBlue, a singular experience. I'd gotten an exit row seat, which is a great deal—you get extra leg room, and the plane only rarely crashes so it usually doesn't matter that you're in the exit row.

(As an aside, I don't have an extra leg so I used the space for other things. They're nice about that.)

On top of my exit row seat, though, was the huge bonus that the other two seats in my row didn't get filled. No-shows, or something. So now I not only had more legroom, but I had the whole row to myself.

My next actions were obvious: I moved into the middle seat, so I'd have optimal lateral legroom, and I tuned all three TV's to different channels. Then when one got boring or went to a commercial, I'd unplug my headphones and plug them into a different one that looked more interesting.

Paired with blue potato chips, it was a near-optimal TV-watching experience. And one heck of a plane ride.

My YouTube debut.

Turns out someone uploaded a video of me yoyoing to YouTube. It's from my last day at my internship this summer—it's me lighting a match, held in someone's mouth, with a yo-yo. You should go see it.

It's not the most amazing quality (it may have been taken on a phone or something), but it'll do. I'm expecting big endorsement deals any day now.
