I WANT MORE DAN THE INTERN

Anonymous

Ah, yes.  Well.

Dan Wilburn, Professional Intern has been hired full-time over at My Damn Channel HQ so he is no longer a Professional Intern per se,  but a Professional Professional and Your Humble Tumblr Scribe can’t force him to write semi-autobiographical posts for your entertainment and enjoyment anymore without being billed for it accordingly, or at least justifying the expense of valuable productive “Dan Wilburn, Professional Professional hours” to the highers up, which is all to say : MAYBE THERE WILL BE MORE and WE’LL SEE and JUST HOLD YOUR HORSES.

I have a question for Dan the intern.

I'm about to move to New York from a small town in Illinois. I hear that New York City can be kind of rough. Do you have any advice on making the transition easier?

Dan Wilburn, Professional Intern: Vol. 4

The latest installment of Professional Intern adventures is an ASK!.  Holy sh*t this kid’s popular.  Your humble Tumblr scribe doesn’t get questions but the Professional Intern gets questions.  Fine.   Feel free to ask him more questions here or send him actual email messages.  Whatever.  Here you go:

Hi Brandon,

Here’s a quick list of some things that might help. 

  • When boarding the subway train (or any mode of mass transportation for that matter), immediately identify the person you will try to make sex with in the event of an impending crash or imminent death experience.  In some instances, this target person may not follow your proclaimed sexual orientation due to the options available.  Fear not - what happens in the subway stays with Jesus.
  • It is, at times, difficult to tell the difference between an aging
    hipster and a homeless person when you’re in the East Village or Lower East Side.  Either way, they’ll take your dollar.
  • If you want to blow someone’s mind, say “hello” or hold a door for them.  The robot droid will temporarily come alive to absorb the rare moment of sunshine you’ve imposed on them, but will be more confused than anything. Everyone is dead inside is what I’m saying here. Don’t let it get you down.
  • If a seemingly nice stranger ends their sentence with “coke?” then they’re not your friend.  Also know that you don’t have to say “no, thanks”, you can just keep walking. OR. This person is your new dealer.
  • If at any point you feel overwhelmed and don’t know if you’ll be able to make it here, remember that if an unassisted blind man can cross the street carrying an armful of grocery bags and then run themselves squarely into some construction scaffolding and keep going, then you should probably shut the fuck up.

Dan Wilburn, Professional Intern: Vol. 2 Sweet love hangover. The aftermath of last week’s 3rd Bday Party has left a New Year’s Eve Y2K-sized hole in my life. I’m trying to buck up and get stoked so I asked Grace if she’d do The Daily Grace for me live in my room this week until I get back on the wagon. I think she took it the wrong way because the restraining order starts as soon as I end this sentence. I posed the same question to Don Was and hours later a 7” vinyl record appeared at My Damn Channel HQ with the words “sure thing, man” spelled out in beard hair on each side. I put the record into my iMac’s vinyl record drive and uploaded Don Was’ latest batch of videos and interviews from the The Detroit Concert of Colors. Mayaeni’s performance is my favorite and I’m so glad she’s getting work after having to bang John Cusak’s stunt double whilst standing in for Lisa Bonet. Joking aside, the song is as great as my High Fidelity reference is accurate. New show launching Friday. Friday is so soon. We can keep it together until then, right team? Having said that, I smashed up an episode of Wainy Days and snorted it in order to take the edge off. It’s a long way to the top (if you wanna rock ‘n’ roll). Dan Wilburn, Professional Intern

Sweet love hangover. The aftermath of last week’s 3rd Bday Party has
left a New Year’s Eve Y2K-sized hole in my life.

I’m trying to buck up and get stoked so I asked Grace if she’d do The
Daily Grace for me live in my room this week until I get back on the
wagon. I think she took it the wrong way because the restraining order
starts as soon as I end this sentence.

Dan Wilburn, Professional Intern: Vol. 1

*ed. note: Last week we introduced you to My Damn Channel intern Dan Wilburn.  He is starting a semi-regular feature for us in which he writes about life as an intern at My Damn Channel HQ.  First up: Behind The Scenes at the My Damn Channel Third Birthday Bash at the NYTVF (including pictures Dan took with his cell phone). 

Last week was a crazy first week at My Damn Channel HQ. Not only did I dive right into preparations for the 3rd Birthday Party, they gave me the 5th best chair in the office - suck on that, other intern!

The 3rd Bday Party was off the hook, then on again, then off, then we thought it was on but that dial tone warning thing came on so we took it off again and set it on fire. I met the guys from Superego, the 3some video contest winners, and the unfuckwithable Harry Shearer.

As one of the most successful nights in My Damn Channel history drew to a close, our fearless leader Rob Barnett offered up some advice that I’ll never forget. He turned to me with an unmistakable look of wisdom and accomplishment and said, “Where’s the car?”

It’s like I’m in a Jay-Z song!
