A few months back, our dear friend, Apple Will, went down with a particularly nasty case of the Will Flu (the “Wu”) and referenced his 103º fever for ideas on how to improve the world and/or humanity. Five intense hours later - 1 in Final cut, 4 chatting to a cute Cuban/Asian girl (a “Cusian”) on Bebo - he delivered his masterpiece…a Moustachette/Brokeback Mountain trailer mash-up dripping with innuendo and tension of the S-kind. Wipe a tear from the eye, be still our beating hearts.

We cheered, shouting: “Post that genius to the interwebs!!” and triumphantly carried Apple Will on our shoulders to the nearest corporate koi pond. There, Producer Paul delivered a sentimental eulogy best summarized with: “Apple Will, you are like these fish - beautiful, strong, orange and white.” We all clapped.

But, unfortunately and quite rudely, Apple Will disappeared that night (we told him time and again Tijuana gangs aren’t “cool”) and took with him the location of the trailer.

We waited, worried; sure Apple Will was stuffed in the back of a windowless, 1982 Chevy Astrovan. But the ransom demand never surfaced. There were rumors of ditches, shallow graves, and forced labor in one of those seedy bars on Tijuana’s “fancier” side. No one knew what became of Will or, more importantly, the trailer. We braced for the worst. Until this weekend…

Nothing. Apple Will fell off the reservation…again. Where is the password? Where is Apple Will? The only clue we have is that he’s slated to co-host the thirtysevenclick podcast CHRISTMAS SPECIAL this Friday.

Maybe he’ll bring the password…
