It’s my pleasure to announce that our entry in the Alamo Drafthouse’s Rewind Kindly Filmmaking Frenzy, Die Hard, emerged from over 150 entries to take the second place jury prize last Thursday.
From the Alamo’s press release:

Mac here. Just wanted to give you a heads-up that there will be an update every day this week culminating in the Mascot Wedding crew’s appearance at Staple! this Saturday.
The first post of the week will be this afternoon and it will cover something very important so stay tuned.
I’ve posted this on every other internet touchpoint I have, I’m not sure why I haven’t posted this here on the homebase. Mascot Wedding Productions has created an entry for the Drafthouse’s new video competition, Rewind Kindly. Inspired by the new Michel Gondry film, Be Kind Rewind, teams must remake a popular Hollywood movie in the same homemade “swede” style in 5 minutes.
Our entry, Die Hard, can be seen here.

Episode 010: The Lost Broadcast!
The magic boys are back on the air… but for not for long. About half way through the show, the station’s signal dies. Mac and David don’t know this and continue to soldier on. The signal probably killed itself after hearing Mac drone on about the Death Wish movies.

EXTRA TRACK! As an added bonus here’s an audio clip of some pre-show banter with our lead-in.
So last week, during our triumphant return to the airwaves, our station’s signal went off the air – right in the middle of our show. So we spent the first 15 minutes of the show trumpeting our return and boasting about how no one can touch the Mascot Wedding show and then we spent the last 15 minutes pumping out dead air. We didn’t know this of course. We were yukkin’ it up like nothing was wrong. The entire thing got recorded and will be posted as a podcast sometime this weekend.
New show this afternoon. Hopefully our electromagnetic hubris won’t doom us two weeks in a row.
The Mascot Wedding show will return to the airwaves this Thursday. We’ve been off the air for four weeks due to a fire that destroyed the KOOP studio. We’ll be broadcasting out of a temporary studio graciously donated for KOOP’s use by Entercom Communications. I’m not sure of the recording options we have at the new studio (I’m going to go check it out tonight) so I don’t know at this time if the podcast will be affected. I do know that after four weeks I’m anxious to get back and start droppin’ some LOLs and taking your calls.
Once again, you can listen to the Mascot Wedding show with David and Mac, every Thursday from 3-3:30 PM CST, 91.7 FM Austin, Streaming world wide at koop.org.
Episode 009: The boys play a rousing game of “Who am I kidding?”, in which David reveals the secret shame of his Netflix queue, leaving Mac astounded and curious. Plus a call from a famous football coach.

Mac and David talk about all the things they liked in 2007 and were able to fit all of it in under thirty minutes. Wow, those are some full lives guys. Yeesh.

It’s true. 91.7 KOOP, the beloved home of the Mascot Wedding show, has been forced off the air due to damage caused by a fire. This is the third fire in as many years, but the first at our awesome new studio (which we relocated to because of the other fires). I don’t have any more details about the fire (except that no one was hurt), but I will say that KOOP is hard at work on a contingency plan and hopefully we’ll be back on the air very soon. So, no new shows until further notice. In the meantime, we still have three more podcasts to post, so be on the look out for those. Thanks.
