Last week, Bomb Diggity bought a new video camera, and it's pretty fancy.

It looks like this.

The TV SHOW crew is already putting the new camera to good use, and let's just say that the next episode of TV SHOW is going to involve some familiar characters, with a twist. Stay tuned!

On Halloween, Bomb Diggity Arts Program wrapped up a Kickstarter fundraising campaign. Thanks to major support from TV SHOW fans, we raised $2725 to produce episode 4!




To celebrate, we walked through town in full costume, eating vampire cookies, and spooking folks on the sidewalk. Then, we returned to the art studio to work on buying some new video equipment.
