Over the year or so
that I have had this blog, I have taken immense pride in my ability to put out
stories that are relevant and timely. When Harry Potter 7.2 came out, I was up
until 4:30 in the morning with my review for you guys. When the final Dark
Knight movie came out, I went again into the hours of the morning so you guys
could have the review the next day. I went to football games across Arizona,
and for the love of Jesus, I freaking watched Human Centipede when you guys
asked for it. My point is, I work pretty hard to back up my brand with quality
material.
I joke a lot about
the “staff” here at According to Dazz. In case you have not picked up on this,
it is really just a staff of one—me. Everything is on me. This blog is cool
because I can set my own parameters, but I still enforce a certain level of
discipline on myself, especially when it comes to the readers. After all, you
guys make this whole thing possible.
If you have not
seen the apology I threw up on the Facebook page earlier, the Halloween Dev
Diary did not happen. Phi Delta had buses ready to ship a thousand people to
the Phright Night barn in Indiana, and after waiting for three different
vehicles with my (totally legitmate) wristband and (totally legitimate) identification
ready to go, I was not let on a single one. It was awful. The crowd was so aggressive
that at one point I was literally suspended off the ground between two people.
I am honestly surprised no one was hurt.
What I want you
guys to know is this: I really wanted to do this dev diary for you. It was
going to be insane. Partying, dancing, alcohol, a cage (!), and one sober Peter
Parker-costumed guy in the middle of it all, giving you coverage of the chaos
bound to ensue. I was excited, and I figure some of you guys were pretty
excited too.
I want to apologize
to everyone for not closing the deal. I could not make it happen this time. I
did the best I could, but the stars were not aligned for this night, I guess.
Just know this: I am going to keep working to find that money story for all of you. I am going to make up for this. This
has been the first time I have not been able to back something up, and you bet
that I do not want it to happen again.
So keep looking to
According to Dazz for everything movies, sports, and Northwestern. I promise to
keep working to put out the best brand possible for all of you. Thanks for
sticking with it everyone. Happy Halloween.
Oh, and Phi Delta
can suck one.
