New Video!!!!!

Hey loyal blog fans!

We are proud to announce that this Wednesday, February 24th, we will be releasing our first music video. It's for our song "The Dork Anthem," and it will be on YouTube. We will have a link on this blog, on Facebook, and Twitter. We gave a sneak peek to the Encounter Youth Conference yesterday, and got a great response. We put a lot of work into this video and it has come out awesome. A special thanks to our production team at FocalPoint Cinematic (www.focalpointcinematic.com). We think you will all be really entertained by it.

You can help us get this video out by passing it on to your friends via pasting on Facebook or Twitter, sending out the link in emails, or putting it on a disc and mailing through thePony Express. We are not closed off to any modes of distribution.

We had some great shows this weekend. First we were out in Kansas City with an Open Bible Church Youth Conference. There were 900 teens there and we had a blast. Then we headed out and flew to Alabama for The Encounter Youth Conference. This was an awesome event. We had been there 2 years ago, so we already had some fans who were ready to rock. We got to hang out with the boys from Lost and Found (www.speedwood.com). These are the nicest dudes in the world and very entertaining. Check them out and listen to their sweet jams.

Brian took some video to document our life on the road for you guys. That will be coming soon. Also, the next blog will be a Chinese Buffet Review. . .FINALLY!

One Day

One day I will be consistent with posting blogs. It may be soon, it may be when I grow up, it may even be when the Angels win the Pennant. I don't know, until then just stay tuned.

Brian and I have not been doing much traveling lately. Brian's wife is due any day now and he would really appreciate if you contact him everyday asking if there is any news.

This time off has given us time to work on some new material, work on booking shows, and pay attention to current news. I haven't commented on the Leno/Conan thing, because no one cares about my opinion and also it's not an important event. I think it would be awesome for Leno's first guest to be Brett Favre and they can talk about retirement. I do think that Conan was very classy in the last episode and hope he can come back with a new show.

Dave and Brian are putting on a benefit show for New Missions (www.newmissions.com) on February 14th. New Missions is very involved with Haiti and lost some schools and churches in the earthquake. The show will be at Addisville Reformed Church in Richboro, PA at 7 PM and there will be childcare provided. It's a free, but an offering will be taken. The show will include the comedy of Dave and Brian, Scott Muilenburg, and Dan Kulp. There will be more info to come. Come on out for a great night of comedy and a great cause!

2010

So it is the dawn of a new Decade. I have heard a lot of people argue whether 2010 is part of the last decade or the beginning of the new one. Seriously? Most of the time these are the same people that like to argue whether it's "soda" or "pop" and like to watch "The Princess Bride" on a regular basis. I'm not sure where the argument is. 2010 is the beginning of a new decade. Was 1980 considered part of the 70's? It's pretty simple, but unfortunately the argument will go on all year.

Dave and Brian have a light travel month here in January, but are going to be bouncing around the country February and March. During this month we will be doing the things you do in a slow month: write new material, book more shows, and Brian and his wife will have a baby. If you are interested in booking Dave and Brian for an event contact Kelsey Bufkin at kelsey@daveandbrian.com. We are working on dates for the fall already, so it's never too soon to book.

Keep your eyes open for Dave and Brian's 1st music video. It will be coming in the next month. We need your help to make this huge, so there will be some info in the next few weeks on how you can help.

Chef Wang's

1145 Northwest Broad St.

Murfreesboro, TN 37129

After 4 days of intense preparation and filming for our upcoming "Dork Anthem" music video, we headed out in search of nourishment and Chinese Donuts. Our odyssey brought us to Chef Wang's.

When we first walked in I was a little concerned with the amount of non-Asian employees. Is this kind of racist? Yes, but you know that if you had to choose chicken at a Chinese Buffet prepared by either General Tso or Colonel Sanders, we all know who you'd choose. The decor was very nice. They had main eating areas blocked off into certain sections and also a separated bar area with televisions, which I assume are for sporting events or "Small Wonder" reruns (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088610/)

The food was very good. They had an expansive selection of Sushi which Jon, our director, and Brian partook of. They were both pleased. I tried the Chicken Feet which I never had before. There's literally not much to describe since the edible part of a chicken's foot is very small. I was very impressed with a certain fruit in the selection, but no one could tell me what it was. Our table didn't know, Jared the waiter didn't know, and the weirded out teenage girl I asked at the buffet didn't know. Finally, before we left, Jared informed me that it was Papaya. I highly recommend the Papaya at Chef Wang's.

Checking in for the snow

I write to you as the snow continues to fall here in Philadelphia. As I watch my dog literally disappear into the back yard, I am reminded of one of the reasons I am glad that I don't live in Central NY anymore. . .The Buffalo Bills and snow.

Dave and Brian have a little bit of a lull in shows for the next few weeks because of the holidays, and also Brian and his wife will be having their first child. During this time we will be working on some new stuff that will be sure to make the children join hands and sing in jubilation.

I wanted to clarify something new with the blog as well. I was told to shorten the blogs and make them more frequent. I won't tell you who told me this, but let's just say that her name almost rhymes with Teddy Ruxpin. Because of this, the Chinese Buffet reviews will be done on their own separate posts every Wednesday.

We are starting to book up our winter and spring, so if you want to book Dave and Brian for any event that you may be having contact Kelsey Bufkin at kelsey@daveandbrian.com. Hmm, Kelsey Bufkin almost rhymes with. . .

That's a Wrap

Well, the 1st Dave and Brian Music Video has been shot! We wrapped up yesterday morning after filming a short scene outside. This video is the real deal, and some might be surprised at the quality of this thing. We'd like to thank Focal Point Cinematic (www.focalpointcinematic.com) run by Jon and Kelsey Bufkin, for all of their hard work. This shoot involved 3 cameras, professional lighting, 5 crew, a band, and about 23 extras. We are looking at debuting it some time early next year. Get ready!

Scoot or Die

So we began filming today. We donned our "Dork" apparel and hopped on some motorized scooters. Unfortunately, Brian hopped a little too fast and crashed into a bush. I didn't get to see it, but from what I hear it was pretty intense. Don't worry, Brian is ok, but more importantly though, the $700 cheap Chinese scooter is ok.

We filmed some great scenes today. Some involved our new friend Colt, portraying a short short wearing, speed-walking, dork. There were some great road shots of Brian and I rocking the scooter down the mean streets of Murfreesboro, which is apparently not pronounced phonetically. Here are some pics:
