hi hi hi! I was wondering if you knew what was happening with the east & west vlog? are they on a hiatus or have they stopped making them entirely? thank youu x
Unfortunately no :( I'm just going off their last post which said they're on temporary hiatus because of health/family reasons. Hopefully everything is ok and they're back up and running soon.
Thank you for getting us to our first stretch goal of $12,000! Here are some fun photos for you all.
Stay tuned for more bonus footage this week…
Help us make the next goal! Check out our Kickstarter here.
You’ve been warned. So stop reading if you don’t know about The Thing.
I just had a thought. Remember Ruby’s vlog in which she mentioned Downton Abbey and how she relates to Matthew and Mary’s relationship? We all got the reference to Matthew’s death and how that parallels with Ruby’s (probable) fate. But what if it goes further? What if, instead of dying from sickness, Ruby dies in a car crash…..? I feel terrible for even talking about this….
Friendly reminder that if we get #SaveAlice to $50k then the team not only gets the bonus $10k from the very generous anonymous donor but also has to pay a lot less in fees to IGG and therefore gets to keep more of the money we pledged.
At this point, I think even just donating a $1 if you haven’t yet is considered “doing your part” but if you can donate more PLEASE do. Remember that if you donate at least $3 you qualify for a web series gifset to be made at your request.
I promise three things.
1. This is the one and only post I will post about this. 2. This post will be funny. 3. I sometimes only break promises, but never two at once so you do the math.
I have a little over 3,000 followers now (welcome to all you new friends!) and some of you may know this, so I apologize in advance to both of you, but I am in a webseries called Classic Alice.
Because the series isn’t produced by NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, Comedy Central, Netflix, Amazon, or any other large corporatey groups, we are crowdfunding to continue the series. Because it’s not produced by Zach Braff, we’re using IndieGoGo.
At this moment, we’re only 51 hours away from our deadline and we’ve raised just under $44,000 of our $60,000 goal. With less time than MacGruber to pull off this crazy plan, we need to find a way to raise $16K. (Contribute here.)
That’s the bad news. The good news is, some anonymous benefactor has promised us $10,000 but only ONLY if we reach $50,000 by Friday. Why is there this arbitrary pre-requisite to their generosity? I don’t know. They’re offering us a lot of money let’s not ask too many probing questions. (Let’s also avoid using the word probing in the future. Gross.)
Point is, we really only need to come up with about $6,000 more by Friday to make our goal.
As I humble-bragged a few paragraphs ago, I have a little more than 3,000 followers here on my tumblob… and I’m asking for your help. If each of you contributed just $2.00 right now, we’d make our goal instantly.
If all of you contributed $4, we’d finish the campaign with $66,000! That’s 6,000 extra to make sure we do the best work possible!
If all of you contributed $10, we’d finish the campaign with $84,000! That’s 24,000 over our goal, meaning the actors would possibly be both paid and fed!
And Just for fun…
If all of you contributed $25, we’d finish with $129,000 and we could afford to make the show and also buy a small pre-owned yacht.
If all of you contributed $100, we’d finish with $354,000 and everyone in the cast could each rent, crash, and buy a replacement Mercedes!
And finally, if you all contributed $500, we’d finish with $1,554,000 which is roughly the GDP of most mid-sized New England towns.
We’re just looking for $2. Each. Please. Thank you.

These two will be the death of me, I swear.
Never was there a more accurate portrayal of Gilbert Blythe.
Seems like Jims’ namesake, earl Kitchener, has a message for you…
Let's reach those stretch goals! Let's get more eps!
EXCUSE ME WHILE I JUST CRY HERE
Youtube series: Hipsterhood
The 99 cent store is amazing! Okay so maybe I shouldn’t have bought 5 whisks, but what am I gonna do, return them? Sweatshops rule!… I shouldn’t say that.
"Who needs five whisks?”
Can someone help me... I'm looking for the young John Green quote when he lay down in the middle of the airport and refused to move? I remember watching it in one of the vlogbrothers videos but I don't remember which one.... Thank you!!
Okay, so I haven’t really been on tumblr much, seeing as how I lack the time for it, but I really really really really really want the Gilbert/Redmond Kickstarter perk. However, I also want a couple other perks - and I can’t afford everything! BUT! I’m willing to split the cost of a Gilbert perk....
Signal boost!
Hey! Is everyone okay? You have pretty much disappeared. I hope everything is okay!
Sorry, we know :(
We film pretty much week-to-week, and the past few weeks we’ve been unable to. It’s been illness, mostly, but also some family things that are out of our control. Don’t worry - when everything settles back down we’ll be able to keep making videos. As of right now, consider us on an impromptu hiatus.
We apologize, it’s just been a little out of our control lately.
Sorry guys
Update: Anne is wearing the shirbert shirt again.
EVERYBODY GO WATCH GREEN GABLES FABLES AND SUPPORT THE KICKSTARTER FOR SEASON 2!
It is an adorable, quirky, relatable modern adaptation of Anne of Green Gables and it is produced completely by University and High School students. It is such an endearing and well-made show that deserves to have a 2nd season! Go check it out on YouTube and fall in love with Anne Shirley and ship her with Gilbert Blythe. Then go donate to their kickstarter! You will not regret it!
