First of all, let me just begin this entry by saying thanks to all of you. Just hours after the launch of Girls Singing Unwritten, the response has been palpable. If there's one thing I may have underestimated, it's the public's hunger and desire for a one-stop, easy-access, unfiltered web site about GSUs. "More, more!" you've been saying. Well I'm here to tell you that I've heard your cry and am happy to oblige.
That said, here's a solid GSU video to help:
Alright. Now, if there's one question I get more often than "when can we expect more GSUs on Girls Singing Unwritten?" it's "What does it take to become a GSU?" Well, as something of an expert on this topic, I can tell you that you don't need much, but while there are few requirements, they are each imperative.
1. You need a video camera. How can you put a video of yourself singing "Unwritten" on youtube without one? You can't. Could you in fact be a GSU without one? Well, perhaps technically, but how would anyone know about it? One of the implicit requirements to becoming a real GSU is the willingness and ability to put video evidence of it on youtube. So you totally should use one. I really can't stress this enough: you need a video camera.
2. You need a little bit of spunk. It also helps if you like to sometimes dress cute, or let people know that you're an individual.
3. A copy of the song. This can be either in tape, cd, vinyl, or mp3 form. Use what works best for you!
4. The ability and/or willingness to release your inhibitions. Feel the rain on your skin! You've got to have the wherewithal to recognize that TODAY is where your book begins. Reach for the stars, and go for it!
See? Almost anyone can be a GSU. You don't even need to be a girl! Guys, don't be afraid of feeling the rain on your skin as well.
Alright, see you kids next time, where we will discuss one of the more salacious aspects of the GSU phenomenon: intarw3b h80rz!
