Cast Notebook
My husband and I saw Rainn last night at the Kelso Theatre Pub in Longview. I just wanted to say thanks because I never would have known about it if it weren’t for Office Tally! He was so hilarious, and after the show he signed bobbleheads and took pictures with people. We had to pay for it but it was so worth it to get a picture with Dwight!!! Thanks again for posting this on your site!
I really want that screensaver but I have a Mac!
I was watching the Diamondbacks-Rockies game on TBS a few minutes ago and the signboard right behind the catcher was cheerily saying “The Office on TBS” :) Sadly, I think the signboard has changed now, but it was so cool while it lasted! I kept reading that message over and over again and didn’t even notice the game.
I love the screensaver and the office invasion, the fans of this show are so creative!
Creed is friggin awesome! He, out of anyone in the cast, I would love to meet and hang out with him the most. Also, The Office Invasion was great!
My boyfriend is a hippy and he knew the Grass Roots as soon as I mentioned them - he started singing Midnight Confessions to me! Creed has been his favourite from the start but he hadn’t made the connection. Now he’s more in love with Creed than ever… I’m a bit jealous, actually…
Someone from the office cast… please come to Oregon. Thank you.
Office invasion was awesome! Grassroots… awesome!
Hey all! I added a few features on the screen saver page so you can add it to your facebook/myspace pages.

Enjoy! Glad you like it!
I have to say I wish there was some way we could hear the songs that Creed wrote himself on the first Grass Roots album: ‘House of Stone’ and… something else. I am even more curious about Creed after watching a few Grass Roots videos on YouTube. I didn’t realize I knew so many of their songs from the radio! ‘Midnight Confessions’ is one from the 1966-1969 era when Creed was in the band (if Wikipedia is to be trusted on the issue) and is on YouTube, that video shows him a little more, and I think a lot of you will recognize the song (like I did) when you hear the chorus. Thanks again for doing this!
Of course I will be going to see Rainn! My sister lives in Longview, WA (random) which happens to be where I was headed for the pre-Thanksgiving anyway! Coincidence? I think not!
We need some more Grass Roots songs in The Office ASAP.
That Office invasion video was amazing, it actually gave me chills and made me laugh at the same time. Awesome.
I love the screensaver. Although I have a widescreen laptop, anyone know how to expand it out to full dimensions? Great weekend tally though!
I just have to say that the grass roots song is freaking awesome.
Whoever wins that set visit is going to be so lucky. Fingers crossed they take heaps of pics and let us know how it went.
Okay, The Office: Invasion is my new favorite youtube video. Andy’s “chainsaw” bit was perfectly placed.
love the screensaver!
is it sad that me and my roommate sat here for about 5 minutes waiting for it to go right in the corner?
and it never happened.
i’ll keep waiting.
anyone have $1,000+ they want to lend me? ;)
Vampire-Bat Jim, that would be amazing.
How cool would it be if Jim got Creed to play “Let’s Live for Today” with Andy on background vocals and sing it for Pam. It would be perfect for a Valentines Day episode. I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about it.
