Hi everyone!
Some of you know me from haunt. Others of you don't. I'm Blow Pop (or April Marie but really just call me Blow Pop). I love reading and I'll be doing book reviews. My reviews can be found by clicking the link at the top of the page (Blow Pop's Book Reviews). Within the next week I'll be working on a masterpost of all of my book reviews complete with links to them all.
I read (or devour depending on how you look at it) A LOT of books. And get 2-3 books and reviews done a week minimum. I do have my own FAQ and reviewing policy as well as contact info for anyone curious (or whoever wants to recommend me a book).
I hope everyone enjoys my reviews. Any questions, comments, suggestions are welcome.
-Blow Pop

Dusting off the cobwebs...
Holy shit, it's been more than a year since we've last used this thing. I think I almost forgot we even had one! :-P Joking of course, heh, anyway I hope all of y'all are doing fine (the ones that still actually read these posts) and that we could get a quick heads up to pass along to anybody you wish. With the up and coming annual purge of D-Student Productions it's important to know that we really need to individually do our parts as a community to get our company out there. A simple share of a link literally takes 2 seconds.. Seriously, share this blogger post to your closest open social media tab and see if that was too difficult. Here, I'll even make it easier for your if you cant handle the control AND the c button at once (or just roaming around our blogger page).

A Week as Howard Stern
This has been one of the craziest stretches of time in our entire history...
It started with our show Friday, which went well... shortly after, the channel manager's broadcast started prematurely, and revealed him on the phone with a higher-up at YouNow who was trying to talk him into cancelling our show. He defended us to the very end and was the sole reason we are still alive on that network. We got more complaints from retards who think the characters in our show are real people, having real interactions. The conclusion was the network wanted what the network always wants... numbers.
We began an all-hands-on-deck promotion that has gone very poorly, as all but a few people have failed to spend five minutes inviting people to the Facebook event we created. We began planning an all-star show with extra preparation for all of our best characters...
...Among this, two groups have sprung up out of nowhere, whose sole purpose is to mock, degrade, and talk people out of being part of D-Student: The "A-Students" and "V-Unit". The irony is both groups are led by friends of D-Student, whom are so damn good snake-charmers they really have people coming out of the wood-works now openly blasting their dislike for D-Student, all for reasons that aren't even real (the typical misunderstandings... sexual exploitation of women, being a cult, forcing members to get naked, making people pay to be members). People are more inclined to believe their own imagination than someone presenting facts anyway, but with two groups of people now backing the imagination, it's now pouring out into the open and now phone calls are coming in to me from the one of the people behind the movement, saying "dude I'm sorry, this went way too far... I did not expect this."
At D-Student, we like wrestling... it's soap opera for men. And that's what we do. And I don't mind writing about this here, because no one's opinion will change anyway even if they read this. They will believe the characters and actions in the drama are all real. So we roll with it... this Friday night will be the biggest controversial night in YouNow history. I am the puppet master, pulling all the strings... but the puppets are real, and so are all the lines they say. But it's not because people are stupid... our performers are just THAT good. It is a pleasure to work with them.
Just another mindfuck brought to you by D-Student Productions.

A Great Week
When it rains, it pours... and for the time being, it's raining gold.
We've added six new members to the Fullerton HQ chapter, including a new photographer, a new Twisted Queen, and an event coordinator who is going to be working on a Club D-Student monthly event. We also have two new shows confirmed for the new year that will broadcast on D-TV.
With heavy hearts, and confused minds, we have stripped the Sgt at Arms patch from DrunksRUs, who has gone MIA for several weeks. We still consider him a D-Student until we're told by him otherwise, and we hope he is okay wherever he is. This comes at a very unusual time when he was set to be a major player in future events that would've lined his pockets with cash. Time has a way of healing just about everything, and we hope we haven't seen the last of one of our favorite DJs and brothers.
Speaking of Sgt at Arms, the Drifters have finally elected one, Billy Hosh (DemonElite) based out of Maryland. His technical knowledge and calm demeanor will add to a chapter that is taking on a much different approach than the HQ chapter. The Drifters have chosen the family and support aspect of D-Student to be their main focus, and a great choice that is looking to be.
D-Student really feels like it's on the cusp of breaking out and blowing up. We've had repeated messages from The Slidebar asking us about our Twisted Queens and saying they've been seeing us popping up everywhere. We want to thank all the supports as well as the haters for sharing and talking about D-Student and helping us get to this point.

Spare some change?
D-Student Productions continues to evolve...
It's been a straight-to-VHS sketch comedy crew, to a YouTube video crew, to a party crew, to near-death, and now it's bigger than ever, as a real company spanning multiple chapters across the world. One thing that's always been consistent... It's still D-Student.
"Thaaaat's D-Student"
"Ah, it's just D-Student"
What does that mean, exactly?
D-Student has a certain way things are done, for better or worse. We're cheap. We're doing a million things at once. It takes forever to complete one project. We have fun. It never feels like we're at work. It's never about the money.
Real companies need to make money to survive. As we continue to grow, we're faced with the situation that we have more work, more projects, in more areas than we have hands and time to do it. We've delegated eagerly to anyone and everyone willing to pitch in... from small tasks, to even starting up entire new chapters. The result is a resounding groan of frustration. You don't need talent, money, brains, experience or good looks to succeed in D-Student. Just transportation and reliability. We'll train anybody willing to put in the time. The plans are all laid out, the thinking done.
We know millions of people volunteer at other organizations and are held to high standards of responsibility. Yea... the word "responsible" was just typed in a D-Student blog. It has been embraced from the top, but the trickle is slow. People liked the days where they could just show up to the D-Student house and get drunk on any given night. Those days aren't exactly over, but the house is getting full and we need a larger place to do our work... and that means we have to have a steady income, if even meager.
How will we take that next step?
A lot will be changing next year... and it will be for the better. We will be a lot more things in addition to the D-Student everybody knows and loves/hates.
This blog is just the beginning.
