Blogging from the WGA picket line
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Update: live blogging from the picket line continues today at 10:30am PT; check back often! (And if you have a message for any of the writers, please post a comment. I will try to show the writers your notes on my phone while we’re walking!)
I’m going to try to report live from today’s picket line via Utterz, which lets me blog on-the-go right from my cell phone. Newest updates will appear first.
Everything I post will end up in the widget below. Just click the Play button!
Tip: Go to my Utterz page to see the full-sized versions of the photos.
To number 58: you can’t report the truth while being biased. good effort, though.

59 | Allison Sat. Jul. 26, 2008 at 2:14pmI’m a college student whose minoring in televsion writing, and I just want everyone on the strike lines to know they have my love and support. I’ve been reporting the truth for my student paper and have been very biased in your favor. My articles have actully won a lot of people over to your side because most people have no idea what’s going on. Keep marching, stay warm, stay safe, stay strong, the moral compass favors you guys
58 | Punxdead Thu. Jan. 24, 2008 at 10:13amOk, whoever thought to have Mike Schur is a genius!
57 | TheOfficeB*tch Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 7:39pmThank you so much for these updates Tanster. This seems like it’s fun.
I’d like to know what the sentiment is over there, because I’m sure it’s not as fun as it seems
This is so awesome! Thanks for sharing everything Tanster!!!
-lemonade I would also like 10% of your puppy profits :)
56 | Mexicanity Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 6:45pmOMG! Mike answered my question! That. was. awesome!
Thanks tanster for representing for all of us Office fans.
55 | lemoñadé Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 5:37pmFor the person who wanted Michael to name their puppy, I think there is one fairly obvious solution to your naming predicament: MOSE =)
54 | The Office Fanatic Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 2:17pmYay!!!
53 | Jim Halpert Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 2:00pmIf John Krasinski’s there, tell him I LOVE him!!! Also, my friend Taylor and I wear black shirts every Thursday to school in mourning of the Office - we miss it SOOO much!! Thanks for these fantastc updates, Tanster!
52 | Elizabeth Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 1:47pmWow. Wonderful stuff, Tanster!
To the writers: Man, you all are awesome. Keep up the tough work and we’re all rooting for a quick and fair resolution. Trust me when I say that Thursday nights are no longer fun without new episodes of the Office gracing the television. We all miss the show and can’t wait to see what The Office writers have in store for us gang when you get back to work! Take care.
51 | BeckySue Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 1:46pmYou have our full support, guys. It’s shameful that corporate heads won’t shell out money that’s rightfully yours. Do what you’ve got to do! We’ll still be here when our shows come back! I’m particularly looking forward to the return of “The Office,” both because I miss the show and because I really respect its writers for making efforts to educate the public about this strike. I wouldn’t have heard about this for a long time had I not seen their videos.
50 | Emily Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 1:46pmFantastic updates, Tanster! Thanks so much. I just want the writers to know that although we can’t strike with them in person, we are there in spirit, and hope that they get the fair deal they deserve soon. :)
49 | StephanieC Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 12:21pmMike Schur, when is the baby coming?
48 | Shannon Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 12:04pmOffice Tally ALWAYS brightens my day! Thanks Tanster!!!
47 | Brett Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 11:49amSorry for the double post, but I got another question for Mike Schur: I hear you are the master of awesomely weird names. Can you make up a dog name for me to use if I get a new puppy?
Mike Schur for president in ‘08!
46 | lemoñadé Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 11:45amHave fun today! Let them know we miss them dearly…oh, and ask Mike Schur if he can read me a bedtime story.
45 | lemoñadé Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 11:04amI love all these updates–tallyheads support the writers!
I listened to all the updates yesterday and today clicked on the photos full-size and when the lunch picture came up, the first thing that came to mind was “So that’s where her uterus went”–I definitely didn’t catch that the intern from Fun Run was Justin. That’s one more Office writer to make a cameo…hooray!
Keep your spirits up, guys. Thanks for everything, tanster.
44 | Jana Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 10:47amFor tanster: What happened to your cap?
43 | Marskye Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 10:44amTo all the writers: You guys are the best of the best, and we can’t wait to once again see your brilliant senses of humor on display every Thursday night. We love you and we’re behind you 100%!
42 | Kenna Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 10:42amHey Tanster! Thanks for braving the cold to bring us the scoop from the front lines. A big hello to all who join you out there today. Do any of you bring a Nintendo DS to pass the time? There is an office game coming out on that soon, is it weird to see a 3D animated computer version of your face in a game like that? Anyway, hope you get what you are looking for.
41 | Troy Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 10:08amHi Tanster, thanks for your updates!
40 | Sara Wed. Jan. 23, 2008 at 9:57amJust wanted to say a little hello to The Office writers from the frozen tundra of Minnesota. You wonderful people have given us an incredible show that we all miss dearly. You deserve only the best, so go get it! We miss you and hope you can come back soon. TV is not the same without you (in fact it kinda makes me want to jump off a roof into a giant bouncy castle). :)
