How To Become a Mythical Beast
http://rhettandlinkommunity.com
The Mythical Beasts are the members of the RhettandLinKommunity, a collection of strange and wonderful people who watch our videos and create their own magical inventions. If you’re not a member, you’re missing out. It’s free, it’s fun, it’s nontoxic, and it won’t leave a mark. Do it! http://rhettandlinkommunity.com
Thanks to Matt and Robin Dufilho for making this amazing video. Check out their Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/mdufilho
To address a few of the comments: The Kommunity isn’t designed to replace facebook. It’s an totally separate thing for certain “mythical beast” activities. People are constantly creating new collaborative community projects and chatting. It’s a “tribe” if you will, hence the tribal music. Everybody still has facebook, and this in no way meant to compete with it. I guess you have to join it for a while to see it.
