Last week, they were unable to do their giant Halloween special episode because of Hurricane Sandy. What’s a live show host to do? Invite everyone over to his apartment and shoot the show from his bedroom! True dedication.

Good news: power has been restored at the actual Blip offices in SoHo! Angus checked on the office this afternoon and all is well, including our beloved hamster, Yamster Hightower, whose fate we weren’t quite sure about. Whew!

Once again, we are very grateful that every member of the Blip team has been accounted for and is safe.
If you’re in NY, the New York Times has compiled a great list of hurricane recovery and volunteer resources. Tell them Hightower sent you!
The team at Twitter has put together a list of resources that may help those that lose power during the storm: http://blog.twitter.com/2012/10/hurricane-sandy-resources-on-twitter.html
Please take any official mandates to evacuate seriously. To all our East Coast family and friends: stay warm, dry, and safe.
