- THERE WILL BE DRINKING! AND POSSIBLY GIRLS!

part of this i find deeply dubious.

Oh no, there will definitely be drinking.

girls, now that is not necessarily a promise...

there are girls competing !!!

dong cintra williams!

i have some special sauce

nasty nets is a rebel to america
police murdra, i'm causin hysteria

i played with mc reggie watts once, he is fucking amazing

Yeah, I think he's a fer real genius: http://tofuhut.blogspot.com/2007/02/engagingly-surreal-stage-presence-who.html

We're gonna do two pieces and then let Reggie freestyle based on what he's seen. I'm excited as hell to see what he pulls out his hat.

you got the totally lame half of rocketboom though

will ned raggett be doing the spoken intros

he'll be reading the reading, pa phone book via phone

conceptual

We couldn't afford Ned.

This video is a good way to introduce yourself to Reggie Watts:

be patient; it gets awesome.

love him

i like his more serious tracks where it sounds like he is a one man gnarls barkley

how can there be an internet event, without internet personality Ned Raggett

i am sad i miss it :(

y u braek etc.

trust me i'd rather be rofling than in buffalo :-\

^^^ slow motion part is dope

reggie is a great singer. i saw him last bumbershoot with Synthclub and the guy was awesome.

i want that DL4 box! keyboard + guitar + voice + one of those for each would make for some sweet one-man band shit

BUMP for Jon being in my office and for all of you coming to this tonight.

This sounds like a great event, I wish I was in teh staetes. :(

I don't know why I read these threads. They depress the fuck outa me (for not being in the US). Not that I would really attend these things. I am terribly unhip.

Jon was great at this, by the way. Really couldn't have done it without him.
You're a total bro, Jon. Buy you lunch sometime this week?

I really would have gone to this if I lived up there, sounds like a blast.

Tony Carnevale won.
The first round rejections were brutal: we lost some of the cream of the crop.

I religiously watch the new "Doctor Who" series starring David Tennant, and I will physically fight anyone who believes that Martha is a better character than Rose.

These hunky leading-man looks haven't failed me so far.

Once more, anyone? You'll be able to meet the elusive J0n and Whiney all in one room?

I anticipate creative use of youtubedoubler

forksy, did u used to tell me about earl dax? or does he have some affliation w/ pub? sounds v. familiar.

yeah, i'll be there but prolly a mite late: i get into laguardia @ 11.10.

hmmm, i will guess that this show has a longer format than most pub shows as it is a late night show and time is not as much of an issue (aside from the bar/waitstaff wanting to go home), so hopefully there will still be plenty for you to see upon arrival. forks/jon can you confirm?

What should we do beforehand?

oh that reminds me - forks e-mail me what you need done budget-wise. maybe i can come do this after work and before rofling?

maybe i bring bring whiskey into booth

Earl works with sh@nt@ on weimar new york and promotes a buncha other things.

Show starts at 11:30, but runs to at least 1:00... last time ran to 1:45, so getting a bit late won't hurt. Be nice to have ya!

Beforehand, I'll likely be doing a bunch of adjustments and keeping people in line (I'm asking folks to get there at ten) but I'm happy to hang before that. The prior show is JULIE BROWN; not the "wubba wubba" one, but the redhead from Earth Girls are Easy, who I had a crush on in Jr. High so I might see some of that. Email me!

Tza, budgetish prior would be more than welcome... wanna hit me by email? Maybe come by around six?

Whiskey piskey is fine; I will also get you a drink Jon.

I had mad crazy crush on Julie too! I was gonna ask she gonna be performing "Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun," but it looks like she is!

Whiney, you and I met in Gainesville ages ago (2002?) I was dating Er1c4 at the time and she brought me to a Shermy D show. You were wearing a minutemen shirt which I complemented you on, to which you fierily replied FINALLY, SOMEONE WITH SOME TASTE IN MUSIC IN THIS FUCKIN TOWN.

Anyways, hi dere, brooklyn, etc.

Whiney was not in P&L in 2002.

Coulda been 2001. Actually I think it was.

Was Whiney G in another band?

Dunno. This was before he and Dave H started their thing IIRC.

Hahaha. Hi dere, Jon! 2001 prolly, since i moved in 08.02

Real talk:

-I wears that shirt still. I got it at that crustypunky record store in Gainesville whose name I forget.
-I'm starting a new band with D0n, the sax guy from Dave H's band in Gville.
-Shermy got married. His DJ lives in Manhattan!

Many luxx with the new band! Is W@yw@rd Counc1l the punk mart you're trying to remember?

Real talk.

Assuredly W@@yward Council!

That was a cool store!

Tr@vis Fr15toe = nicest man in the world.

A good dude, assuredly.

We just turned ILX into Leonardo's, brah! When did you leave Hogtown?

2003. Then did approximately 1 year in Atlanta, then made my way to Brooklyn where I soon got hitched to my genius wife, whom I believe you've seen in her standup comedy persona of 5tac3y N1ghtm@r3.

Haven't been back, but will go next summer for my buddy J3ff M@son's wedding.

sitting here lifting youtubes and pictures.

I HAS 2 PEE

there's going to be some gems played before the trailer

oooooh so hungover

Yeah, I actually did a fair amount of drinking myself. Pub drinks are mad esspensive, but they pour heavy... one on the rocks is like two and a half drinks at a regular bar. Four of them is about a pint or so, which is what I did of Glenfidditch.
I did a lot of yelling at the host last night.

Positive yelling! Positive yelling!

Had a diet coke and feelin fine, suckers!

well should i post THAt

Youtube Wars Part I

Warfare for the modern age. It's simple folks, get a team of friends together or compete by yourself (teams count as one contestant). Contestants will go to war in a bracket style tournament consisting of single elimination rounds (think March Madness playoff bracket basketball).

For each round, the two competitors will face-off by playing their two favorite youtube vids to wow the crowd. Win the crowd and move on to the next round. Video clips will be limited to 1 minute so choose your starting point wisely. Remember, bring a playlist arsenal of outrageous videos cocked and ready for battle, you never know what your opponent will have streaming at you. Come early, be redonkulous and stay late. Prizes. Drink specials. Good times.
