“The current generation of twenty and thirty something’s is the first generation to have grown up with easy to use video cameras and camcorders in their homes. Most of us experimented with these home video cameras when we were children. “The Movies I Made as a Kid,” will put these creative videos on display.”

I love this idea. Jon Friedman from Tremendous Rabbit Productions and The Rejection Show sent this out earlier today:

“”The Movies I Made as a Kid” is moving forward and picking up speed. Gather up your old hilarious kid movies when you go back home for the holidays. This project is being developed for the web, festival, and the TV! What is “The Movies I Made as a Kid” you ask?

We’ve made a beta preview test pilot trailer featuring my own kid video. You can find out more about the project and see me as my awkward glorious 14 year old self here.”

For those of you who haven’t seen the magazine articles, the late night guest spots, or any of the other media circus that’s been happening the past couple of weeks, Howard Stern is leaving KROQ for Sirius Satellite Radio. This morning was his last show.

And for some reason, I can’t stop paying attention.

First thing this morning I woke up and turned on “The Last Show”. Some low brow jokes were made, a girl got naked. The only difference between the last show and any other show I’d heard was that clips were the fans that kept calling in to thank Stern. That’s right. No matter how you feel about him, you can’t deny that there are hundreds of thousands of people who love Howard Stern.

I got on the internet to research this relationship Stern has with his fans. Message boards were filled with people saying they were coming to New York to be here for the last show. Not just driving in from Jersey and Long Island, but flying in from all over the country. They were all going to meet up outside of The Howard Stern Building to be there for a parade after the show. I thought about going, but the idea of being in a crowd of die-hard Howard Stern fans scares the shit out of me.

Then I found the live Howard Stern Walks: Yahoo web-cast of the after party, taking place right now at the Hard Rock Cafe. I can’t stop watching it. They interviewed John the Stutterer, Wendy the Retard, Crackhead Bob, all members of Stern’s ‘Whack Pack’. Sheryl Crow will be playing live in a few minutes, and right now, I am watching Martha Stewart welcome Stern to Sirius radio. Is anyone else’s head exploding?
