200k Thank-You Note

[jjuran]

Whoa... I wasn't expecting a dramatic climax.

I should probably check in with you more often than every three years.

And I definitely need to see Hot Fuzz. I heard it has an epic paperwork action sequence. :-)

[tanithmora]

You just make my day, girl.

Very nice, getting a bigger room. The choreography and setup for the dance at the end was... Scarily good yet hilarious.

I felt as though you might just put on the glasses and say, "Yeh. I'm cool. Bye"...but then you did the gun move and the punching...

Hahaha! Awesome.

[trapjohnson]

I'm sure you get alot of this, but

DAMN you are cute

not to mention talented,

and wootness for Hot Fuzz via the Shirt

Huzzah! Congratulations on your fame, or would it be infamy? You're very talented and I hope you continue to dance.

[UrpleSquirrel]

Well, I know I've watched it at least once for each of my friends I've shown, and then a heck of a lot more on my own. Maybe 50 or so of those hits are mine.

You remind me a lot of a girl I went to elementary school with. I don't suppose you live in Maryland, or did back in 4-5th grade?

[aleprechaun]

Nope, not Maryland. Lived my whole life in New York before going to college.

[TheyCalledUsDevilDog]

Emily, You are so so SO talented, and I'm sure you'll be quite famous one day. In the mean time, don't stop YouTube-ing!

[lacey0586]

Well I have to say.

This really made me laugh.

You're welcome and I do believe that maybe 2-300 of these were me over time. haha. I love the stuff!

[Electrik7701]

I gotta say I myself have watched it about 20 times or so. It was the first place I heard the song and me and my kids love it.

[sinnspenn]

so now that you have a bigger room.. how are you going to get the camera to follow you around it? Hmm? Camera's don't move.

Sinn

... btw ...

you still owe me a dollar.

Sinn

[aleprechaun]

Can't have the camera follow me around, but you'll notice I'm actually able to spread my arms all the way and still have them in view, whereas in my smaller room I couldn't extend one without having it go out of frame.

A dollar? For what?

[akariprince]

Woot! Love your dances! ^_^ Congrats on the views! You should go on Icaught or whatever it's called. Um... Yeah. Keep 'em coming!

[qhudspeth]

Keep 'em coming, Emily! You always put a smile on my face.

[rickbnyc]

[lkillinger]

I freaking LOVE you!! *rotfl* Thank YOU, Emily, for dancing the dance and making us all smile.

[amigo1080]

Thank YOU Emily for the great entertainment. Keep on dancing.

[xenoalex]

keep it up.

[WzDDWzDD]

You are my favourite!

I was huffily thinking "well it's all very well for her to wish me a great life, but this message would be much better conveyed through the medium of dance" just as the music started. :)

[Norvu]

Really Awesome =]

[Norvu]

And dammit, I just noticed your t-shirt. Mad amounts of respect right now.

[masxav16]

lol yay, dance dance!! lol

[meoka2368]

I was looking at my subscriptions newest videos, and then I saw the name aleprechaun show up, and didn't know who it was, then I opened the video, and realised "Hey! It's the dancing girl! Man, it's been a long time."

[Davidkevin]

Well, we love you, dear heart. What else can we say, but...

Keep on dancin'!

[iwantagoodnameplease]

Huzzah, a new video! And I only subscribed the other day! Huzzzzah.

Ps, congrats on your first time speaking in your videos!

[IamFatnickc]

Congratulations - maybe if you manage to get another video up we can try and give that over 200k views! :)

[newmilpan]

No, thank you!  I've probably seen Code Monkey around 30 times; I hope you make another soon! :)

[LeximusMaximus]

...By the Power of Greyskull!!!

-at least 50-75 of those hits were my roomie and I. he's a computer guy and we love that dance!

[jogayot]

[aleprechaun]

Thanks. Keep at it! ;)

[CousinoMacul]

You rock, Emily!!!

Just like nrgins, plenty of those views were from me (especially if you count the assists -- the people I sent the video to) :-D

ps - Robert Rodriguez: nice choice!

[aleprechaun]

Hee! Well, I wanted a short dance to cap off the vid, so I started searching through my library... Then I noticed I was wearing my Hot Fuzz shirt and figured it was fate.

[weeeezzll]

So does this mean a new video is in the works? :D (other than this one of course..)

[nrgins]

I think at least 10,000 of those views are from me. :-) And what an honor, I get to be first comment here. Yay! Congrats again -- and hope we get a new video soon!

[aleprechaun]

Congrats on your first-comment, and thanks for being one of my most outspoken fans :D

[nrgins]

Well, outspoken I am! :-)

I got a note tonight from CousinoMusic, another of your fans, who saw my recent note in the Code Monkey comments that JoCo wrote me in reply to my note to him that he liked your video. CousinoMusic pointed me to the NY Times interview with JoCo (thanks, Javier/CousinoMusic!), in which JoCo said he saw people doing your dance at his concert. In case you haven't seen the interview (and for others who might be reading this), here's what Jonathan said:

[continued]

[nrgins]

[Part 2]

"When I played that song I was really distracted because in the back of the audience I could see two women who were doing that dance. And it was sort of amazing. It was like, well, you know, I do this song, which makes this woman do this dance, and then these other people see that dance and learn it, and come to my show and do it, to the song. And it was sort of, it was just this really nice moment of communion with the audience that I really enjoyed."

[continued]

[nrgins]

[Part 3]

And they played part of your video in the interview. Here's the link:

video(.)on(.)nytimes(.)com/?fr­_story=154422873868992388f9e6e­1572d7cbc5d5754e1

[aleprechaun]

:) The reporter got in touch with me when they were putting that together, so I could give them permission to use the video.

[nrgins]

Cool. Well, I'm sure some of your viewers will enjoy reading that, anyway. :-)
