Could it be? The most successful experiment in vlogging suddenly shut down without warning? The vlog that snagged $40,000 in its eBay advertising auction, gone? And DMCA Infringment Notifications had nothing to do with it? There's tumult and turmoil (we've been dying to say that for a while) at Rocketboom, where Amanda Congdon held court over the day's news with NY1-quality graphics and camera tricks. But as the public notice on Rocketboom's homepage will tell you, Amanda has gone Hollywood. Yep, seems she's gotten offers around town and now she's grown too big for the Boomers. She's probably all fancy now and has an agent, manager, TV series pilot, book deal, and fragrance on the way. She doesn't give that away in the video announcement (above) she produced herself and posted yesterday, but you just know she's sipping Krug with Danny Masterson right about now.
Amanda Congdon has decided to move to L.A. to pursue opportunities that have arisen for her in Hollywood.
We wanted to meet her demands to move production out to L.A., however, we are a small company and have not been able to figure out a way to make it work, financially and in many other ways at this time. While we continue to remain with open arms, Amanda has in fact quit and left Rocketboom. So sadly, we bid Amanda adieu and wish her all the best.
Rocketboom goes on.
Andrew Baron, the founder and creator of Rocketboom, will stay with the company in New York and will continue to produce and direct the show. We are in the daunting process of recruiting a replacement for Amanda.
While Amanda will be sorely missed, we have big plans for Rocketboom and are determined to make the show better than ever.
After Field Week and a week on hiatus, we know that you are hungry for the news! Rocketboom will be back with a news episode and an interim host this MONDAY, JULY 10.
Amanda, meanwhile, will soldier on in L.A.-L.A. land with her 49 percent stake in Rocketboom, while former producing partner Andrew Michael Baron will continue on once he finds new talent. Hey Andrew: We hear Star Jones isn't hosting anything these days.

None of this would have happened if her breasts hadn't gotten their own agent.

People should be allowed to go naked in certain recreational areas only - Or specify those areas and you have another persuasive speech topic
My life's been basically bland recently. I can't be bothered with anything recently. Pretty much nothing seems important. I've basically been doing nothing worth mentioning.
My mind is like a void, not that it matters. I've more or less been doing nothing to speak of. I've just been sitting around not getting anything done, but so it goes. Not much on my mind worth mentioning. I've just been letting everything happen without me lately, but it's not important.
Not much on my mind right now. I haven't been up to anything. Today was a complete loss. That's how it is. Not much exciting going on these days.
I've just been staying at home waiting for something to happen. I just don't have much to say right now, but so it goes. I've basically been doing nothing to speak of, but shrug. Today was a loss. I don't care. That's how it is.
