Title: I got DT in a local commercial!!
Post by: Mebert78 on May 14, 2010, 04:22:53 PM: OK, so those of you that know me know I write for Newsday, a daily newspaper in Long Island, NY. Anyway, last month they were filming around the newsroom for a series of new commercials for the newspaper that will run on local TV. The commercials started running on air today and the main one has been posted on YouTube (see link below). If you pause it at .35 seconds, you see the corner of my cubicle on the right side of the screen where I display a poster flat of DT's Awake cover. Yeah, baby! :o

"I'm watching the video right now and it's nearly 0:35, looks pretty good... Oh look! There's a poster of that band Drea-I WILL NEVER BE OPEN AGAIN"

Post by: Mebert78 on May 15, 2010, 11:14:32 AM: Haha, you guys crack me up. In my cubicle, I also have a DT poster flat for Images & Words, Scenes From a Memory and Systematic Chaos, as well as Porcupine Tree's Fear of a Blank Planet and Queensrÿche's Hear In the Now Frontier. There's also a random college of album cover print-outs under the glass top on my desk from Rush, DT, QR, OSI, Chroma Key, Fates Warning, etc. My cubicle is a tribute to prog metal!

He's giving an interview, of course! The piece - "It ain't easy being green!"

I didn't know that! Cool. I can't load wallpaper on my work computer.... Most of my work passwords are DT related and I have all of their tour dates written in on my desk calender.

The only music related thing I have hanging is the Dio obit from the Boston Herald.

Mebert..Nice job!!
