If you didn't know, Nick Gray was my roommate in college. In 2003, we made this clip. I remember sending it to Jakob who lived in San Diego at the time, and he wrote back something like "This is an embarassment. I really hope you don't think this is good."

It's been lost for years, until I just found it on an old backup CD today.

    I think I was still a perfectionist when I told you it was bad. Rewatching it now, I actually enjoy it, and can certainly forgive your inability to mouth the exact words.

    But really, so much has changed since 2003. The director in me cringes to say this, but I think quantity is more important than quality. Which is not to say that quality is not important, but: I would rather see 3 low-grade videos a week than one "good" video every three weeks. It's about staying in touch with your friends, not creating everlasting art (this is a founding principle of Vimeo).

    I was probably annoyed that of three videos you made all year, each one wasn't incredible.

    The quality can increase once you get the quantity down. I'm glad you made this.

    I don't blame you. Then, it WAS terrible. Now, it's great.

    It's funny you say that Jakob, because that's exactly why I don't post much. I just think my stuff isn't that cool or interesting. Perhaps I'll rethink that...not that it'll get any better, but hey...it's free space, right? ;-)

    This was really fun to watch. Thanks for sharing it. I remember how terrible Jakob and Ricky thought it was when we first made it. Who's laughing now, suckaz!
    And dude, we used to be REALLY good friends.
  • Nick Gray plus 2 years ago
    But if you ever post the OUTTAKES to this - like my amped up directing skillz - I will flip shit.
  • Zach Klein plus 2 years ago
    I'm searching everywhere for the OUTTAKES.

    PS. We ARE really good friends. But, you live in suburban Atlanta and I live in New York and we're both workaholics. Something's gotta give.
  • damon 2 years ago
    Screw work.
  • Daniel Hayek staff 2 years ago
    Word, I wish my friends cared more about friendship then work. If only our country valued friendship and naps more, like the Spaniards...
  • damon 2 years ago
    Naps are an excellent start. If it weren't for the good money, I'd quit last week.
  • Chris Bodenner 2 years ago
    nick, if you want to get him back, i can always post the first vidblog he and i did, starring zach and a bucket.
  • Nick Gray plus 2 years ago
    Thanks Chris. Let's hold that unless Klein posts the outtakes.

    Have you ever seen The Streets live?

    You need to.
  • Zach Klein plus 2 years ago
    I haven't seen them -- just checked, they're not touring. I'll wait patiently.
  • fabiantoepel 2 years ago
    wrong...saw them in roskilde 2003
  • käthe 2 years ago
    Ich verstehe nicht.
  • Zach Klein plus 2 years ago
    Fabian, I knew they were there -- but I don't remember seeing them. I recall splitting up: I went to see Sigur Rós and you went to see The Streets -- you didn't want to see Sigur Rós because we had seen them earlier at Hurricane.
  • fabiantoepel 2 years ago
    No I went to see Iron Maiden instead of Sigur Ros which I still deeply regret.
    We saw the Streets passing by on our way to the Blur gig but the tent they were playing in was too crowded to go further in so we didn't see that much of them..
  • käthe 2 years ago
    Great, so we're all in agreement that the next time the Brits are in town, blinged out with diamond-studded in-ear monitors, Zach with be at the foot of the stage doing shots with them.

    Because that's exactly how it goes down.
