Can we take a moment here, guys, and appreciate the commitment the Geth and crew have to The Chris Gethard Show? 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!

No, Steve, he did not look like this:

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!

This is how a startup pulls together.  Love this.

It’s true that we have the best team.

On a Sandy-related note, our servers are currently experiencing an outage due to the storm’s effects. We’ll be posting updates to our Facebook page and Twitter. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes, the team is working to get the site back up as quickly as they can.

Stay safe, East Coasters! <3
