If you don't read OfficeTally, then the other team wins.
Over at NBC.com’s Dunder Mifflin Infinity game, people compete in “branches” on various tasks.
Task #26: create a video set to a short clip of Hunter’s ‘That One Night’ song, as featured on The Office episode, Dinner Party.
This entry, created by Cathy (aka Clockwise), completely blew me away.
A short Q&A with Cathy follows. Continue reading “That One Fan Vid”
Andy Buckley (“David Wallace”) appeared in this year’s Scranton Saint Patrick’s Parade two weekends ago.
UPDATE: Andy was kind enough to write up a little trip report for OfficeTally — thanks Andy!
Once again, the folks in Scranton proved that ‘there ain’t no party like a Scranton party …’ Took the red-eye to Philadelphia and Ken, owner of the LimoGuy (best Limo service in the entire NEPA area) was right there with Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in hand ready to roll. If you ever need a Limo in NEPA, Ken The LimoGuy is the guy to call …
Almost 100,000 people lining the streets. Over 1 million pints of Guinness consumed between the hours of 7 AM Saturday when the bars opened and 4 AM Sunday the next morning when last call was announced. I tried to do my part in that effort but was clearly an amateur.
Saw many many Dunder Mifflin signs along the parade route and heard many a shout out from the good people braving the cold weather. A lot of fun.
Roland Greco, a buddy of mine and ironically the Michael Scott look alike winner from the Convention and Amy ___ (I don’t have her last name I’m sorry) — the Angela look a like winner rode in the car in front of me — a couple of troopers as it was cold …
The bars were filled by 8 AM with the younger folks, getting their St. Patty’s drink on … hats off to the town, for keeping it very orderly considering the town turns into one gigantic Delta House — for that one day a year.
Met Miss Pennsylvania Rachel Brooks — a very nice gal. Talked with Governor Eddie Rendell a little bit — sharp guy. Did not get a chance to say hello to the local favorite, Senator Hillary Clinton, but as an Irishman from Boston, I did get quite a kick out of meeting and having a nice chat with Max Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy’s youngest son who is a huge fan of the show.
The biggest highlights were going from pub to pub with local legend Tim Holmes, from the Scranton Times, and hearing just about everyone in attendance shouting out “Dunder Mifflin!!! When are the new episodes coming back on???!!! Dunder Mifflin!!!!” Just a blast of an environment.
Scranton’s 20-piece bag pipe band was going from pub to pub as well. Grabbed slices during the night from Brunetti’s and Alfredo’s Pizza Cafe, had pints at Cooper’s, Farley’s, and of course at the Radisson.
Threw back a couple of pints with Sara Hailstone and Michelle Dempsey who along with Tim organized the convention … and they’re talking up the next one.
Keep your NY, Boston and Chicago St. Patty’s Day parades … give me Scranton’s any time. A ton of fun and an electric city filled with some great people. Thanks. — AB

Tallyhead Alexis files this report about Craig Robinson’s show in Pittsburgh this past Saturday.
All of the headliners were in town because they have been in Pittsburgh for the past few months filming the new Kevin Smith movie called “Zach and Miri Make a Porno.” In fact, my boyfriend and I actually saw Kevin Smith in our local grocery store a few weeks ago — surreal!
They just finished up shooting and threw this little shindig at the Improv as both a wrap party and a way to have some fun with the locals.
Tallyhead Eileen files this report on Steve Carell’s appearance at WonderCon in San Francisco on Saturday:
I just got back from WonderCon, which was quite an interesting experience considering I have never been to a comic book convention!
Anyway, I got to see Steve speak and he was great! He is just such a modest and humble guy and of course he is hilarious.

Tallyheads had a blast last night in Hollywood at iO West’s ‘The Armando Show’ co-starring Angela Kinsey, Kate Flannery, Ed Helms, and Oscar Nuñez.
If you have a report, please send it my way!
I went to the IO West last night to see Angela, Ed, Kate and Oscar perform at The Armando Show.
For anyone who doesn’t know about the show, it consist of what they call the “Armando” and a cast of professional improvisers. Someone from the audience gives a suggestion, the Armando tells a story based on the suggestion and then the improvisers perform in response to the Armando’s story.
The first Armando of the night was Kate Walsh (Gray’s Anatomy) and the second was Robert Ben Garant (Reno 911, Balls of Fury). Both were a lot of fun and the cast of improvisers did a great job adapting their stories.
Two of my favorite moments:
After the show I had the chance to talk with Angela and Ed for a few minutes. They were both great!
My friend and I told Angela she made us nervous during the show because she kept moving from one side of the stage to the other with her lil’ baby bump. She just laughed and said she didn’t feel she moved as much as she normally does; but it was enough to make us nervous :)
Before saying goodbye we were able to get a picture with Ed and Angela and we left after that.
The Office really does have the greatest cast. The strike needs to end soon so they can get back to work!
Tallyhead Laura files this report about her encounters with Office folks at the SAG Awards and other various events. Lucky girl!
It has been quite an exciting month for me with several Office-related encounters. Since Tanster appreciates firsthand accounts, I decided to share some of the highlights with other OT readers. I hope you enjoy. Sorry I didn’t take more pictures, but I’m trying to “savor the moment” more often and worry less about snapping pictures. :)
