Brian from Built From Bricks
Photo-A-Day #4363

Every Thursday I head over to my friend Brian’s house. For a while we were filming a show called SteamDads. It was a science based show that we enjoyed at first but really ran out of steam once we stopped coming up with experiments and ideas. It was fun to shoot but took a long time and didn’t really find much of an audience.

Brian asked me if I wanted to help him out and film an episode of his show, Built from Bricks. I agreed and it has been fun ever since. We’ve done all sorts of shows. The most popular show has been the City Updates. Brian has such a cool LEGO City being built in his garage. Each week he has something new happening and it is awesome. Tonight we shot a whole behind the scenes video that included a studio tour. The photo from today was what I shot for our Thumbnail for the episode. You can watch it below. If you haven’t already, please subscribe. We are closing in on 100 subscribers and when that happens we are going to do a big giveaway.

Brian even agreed to help me out with an episode of Big Damn Kid. I’m looking forward to going to Philly Brickfest Live with him in April. I think people are going to love the MOCS he made for his LEGO City.

After school I took Andrew out for lunch. We were going to go to Tex Barry’s for some Coney Island Hot Dogs but we couldn’t find a parking spot so instead we went to Bliss Bros. Today was National Frappe day and I certainly wanted a Frappe but I didn’t end up getting one because I had already eaten plenty and Andrew got a bowl of ice cream with his meal that was more than enough to share.

After lunch we went over to the playground across the way. The main intention of that was to get Andrew tired out, he didn’t get tired. He used up his nap yesterday when it would have been better if he hadn’t. He was, however really good about playing quietly in his room so that I could shut my eyes for a while. I did not sleep well and was facing a 12 hour overnight shift after being up at 4am. Such is the glamorous life of being on a weekend overnight shift.

The other thing that I wanted to talk about today were the great books that I’ve been getting from Disney Hyperion to review. I get these books for free and then I talk about them, either on my vlogs or in blog posts. I give a complete breakdown of the great books on the vlog today and below the video are links to each of the books where you can buy them on Amazon.com using my affiliate code.
