Tape on Your Glasses is Necessary for Entrance!

As we bundle up for the winter time, let's consider some new traditions: instead of warming up in front of a fireplace, why not in front of computer on Ned's Nerd Herd? With something for everybody, this winter won't feel cold at all if you stop by NNH every once and a while for some holiday cheer :)

Just Doing My Duty as a Starkid

I discovered the most amazing group over the summer, called Team Starkid, through a friend. Once I watched their musical "A Very Potter Musical", I was hooked. AVPM, in a nutshell, is a loving parody of the Harry Potter books, and features an amazing score/soundtrack. Check it out on Youtube- it's pretty awesome.
This is the cast of AVPM-

You might recognize Darren Criss front and center, who has been on Glee lately. (though it might be hard to recognize him with the 'fro and glasses if you only know him from the show) He actually got his big break on AVPM, and he has released an album and guest starred on various shows.
The sequel to the musical was released this past summer. A Very Potter Sequel was equally as spell-binding (bad pun), and I was really sad when it ended.
Other projects of theirs are MAMD, Little White Lie (which is a project they worked on before AVPM, so you can see the origin of some of the songs and jokes), and an upcoming musical called "Starship".
If you want to check this group out, you can watch their stuff on Youtube, buy their album off iTunes, "like" them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter, or go on to their website- teamstarkid.com
*Warning- there are raunchy jokes. These musicals aren't for little Potterheads. Stick with Harry Potter Puppet Pals*
I really hope that you look this amazing group up and love their stuff as much as I do!
