The Place. Some of you have actually participated in it’s production, while most of you at least know what it is (if not, click here). For many of you they’re just silly video clips of college kids being college kids. For me, it’s a window back to a place and time when it seemed that life was much simpler. But it’s also more than that, especially now, four years later… it’s a hobby– and a rewarding one at that.

This week I have released the first episode of the newly re-edited Season 2 (source material is dated December 2006), and as silly as this series is, I’m grateful for the creative satisfaction I derive from it. I revel when I am able to weave random clips and interviews together… then with music and graphics, actually CREATE something that works.

Here is the updated opening credit sequence for Season 2 (at around 0:24 you will see some familiar faces):

It’s a truly satisfying experience. That’s why when it comes time to release episodes, I am quite excited about showing them off and hearing how they are received– by those who are actually in the videos, as well as those who have never seen them before. So excited, in fact, that it might even grow to the point of annoyance. :)

Regardless if they are liked, or even watched, I’m just grateful to have such a fun and rewarding creative outlet, and I’m super grateful for having a wife who understands and appreciates that. Thank you to everyone who watches and supports The Place– my hobby.
