I Am Dicidious, Dark Wizard Overlord of the Volcano Zarton

Even though I haven't been posting much up because it is the summer and I'm too busy and lazy, I thought this warranted posting.

I've always had an affinity for over-the-top metal bands, mostly because I don't know how fans or they themselves buy into their own image; sometimes they're just too out of control.

The vast majority lack originality and the ability to scare anyone over nine years old, but I just love to look at pictures of these guys, almost as much as I like to hear what attempted depressing and loathsome names they can come up with. Silva once was making up black heavy metal band names, and people were believing them, stuff like Scumdogs of the Universe and The Infant Rapists.

Some guy made a page of the most ridiculous metal band pics in history. Now this guy knows exactly what I'm talking about.

All this just because no one would let them sit at the cool
lunch table in high school.

MTV Loves Itself

Real quick moment of anger.

I just read an article about the MTV Movies Awards that says that Napoleon Dynamite and Mean Girls won big at the awards this year, with Napoleon winning Best Movie.

Just so everyone is aware, both of those movies were produced by MTV Films.

Two shitty movies that people will feel validated in liking now because "...it won a lot of awards at the MTV movie awards."

Big fucking deal. It's not really valid when a company gives awards to itself.

I bet I'll be even more annoyed when they end up rerunning it 30,000 times.

But It Ain't No Lie, Baby Bye, Bye, Bye

I am finally home after getting through the last week of hell at Oneonta, and finally settling into the monotony of life at home.

Last night, Lisa K. and I hung out for like four hours, talking about all the stuff that has gone on this whole semester. It's funny, because even though she fell under the trance of Kodi's clique, when we said goodbye, I was more upset about it than I thought I'd be. All we did yesterday was shop at Wal-Mart for WONY office supplies, get wings, and just talk about nonsense. And I feel gay saying it, but I really am going to miss her. She's awesome.

Lisa, if you're reading this, saying goodbye to you made me sad. See? There, coming out of my shell, unlike your tortoise of a boyfriend.

The best part of the night was when Kristin walked into her room, and found me and Lisa sitting her among the clutter of a half packed-up room, eating chicken wings in our laps, wiping our faces with toilet paper.

No, that wasn't the best part. The part with the old man in the abandoned building was. I've never seen a human run that fast.

I hate saying goodbye to people. Even though most of the people I know annoy me 80% of the time, to think I'm not going to see Meg or Sass or Lisa P./K. next year down in the office is strange.

Whatevas. Last night put me in a sentimental mood.

I'm going to update the site when I can or have something stupid to say, but I doubt it'll be the frequency that it is during the school year. Or maybe it will be. All depends how eventful the summer is.

Mean Little Kids and Social Ineptness

A report was released in the scientific journal Early Education and Development that found 'meanness' in girls starts at age 3.

Brigham Young University Study

Does this really surprise anyone? I can remember little girls pulling this stuff in elementary school. Everyone knew the kids who wouldn't invite people to their birthday, or would include and exclude girls from their little circle at will.

I think what they should do is round up all the little kids who demonstrate this kind of behavior at an early age and just beat them senseless in a room for hours until they can be re-introduced into society, because I bet these are the kids who parents praised everything they did and never disciplined them, then they grow up to be assholes we all know and love.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a completely different subject, last night might have been the night I was the most annoying in my life. Me, Silva, and Gish were arguing about which Christmas lights are better (they were both saying the 'sophisticated' white ones, and I was saying the fun color ones,) and we walk into Meg's apartment, and I can't help but start asking everyone there their opinions, then arguing at the top of my lungs about how they suck.

Then we started arguing about which video game series is better, Zelda or Metal Gear, and Silva started to get truly angry, and resorted to name calling, by calling me a Green M&M because I had a green shirt and hat on.

All this arguing spilled over into the rest of the people there, and I got the feeling everyone wanted to just scream at me to shut my big mouth. The mood of the whole place was killed, and it was all my fault. Not one of my proudest moments. I'm going to stay away from everyone for a day or two so they can forget what a dick I was.

I have problems in social situations.

Lacking Common Sense

This conversation your about to read was over our new site. For one of his posts, Silva added, "Finding a pubic hair in my Chinese food." I tried to explain to him that the comment didn't really need to be posted, since it's a given that you would hate finding ball hair in your food, and that you should just post more odd, quirky stuff. This is what ensued:

Fantom05 (1:11:25 AM): you wouldnt put on there, "i hate getting kicked in the nuts"
Fantom05 (1:11:29 AM): no kidding
silvamania (1:11:35 AM): lol

silvamania (1:12:55 AM): just like chinese pube hair jokes

silvamania (1:17:26 AM): Fat girls who wear tiny, midriff-exposing shirts. Their bellies hang over their jeans, their torsos look like candles with fat wax dripping all over their pants.

I Have Found My Calling

I started a website the other day that stemmed out of a conversation me and Silva had about making a list of the things we hate.

So I made it. That's it. No funny story.

What is kind of funny actually is the fact that I put a counter on the site to see how many hits it gets, and from 6:30 to 8:30, it got about 70 hits, which I can't explain and makes no sense.

But anyway, both me and Silva are contributing to it, so go there to see funny and stupid stuff that annoys us.

Things I Hate

I can smell the end of school. It smells like Brooks chicken.

And by the way, I know a lot of people are already done with classes, and possibly almost done with finals. All I can say is fuck you Oneonta is a fake school.

Why Do Girls Continually Insist on Being Stupid?

If I read one more away message that says this, I am hiring a hitman to exterminate the lives of those responsible.

Life's too short to be anything but happy...break rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly,love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that once made you smile

Girls, stop it with this. You never live by these phrases you love to reflect on. You should, but don't.

Seriously, is there a website where they have shit like this written that all girls know about and simply cut and paste into their AIM? Because I've have read this like seven times this week alone.

Let's quickly break it down point by point. I'm tired and want to go to sleep:

1) Girls lives usually are anything but happy.

2) Break rules? Why? Because 'rules' limit the true fun you can have in life? Give it a rest. Don't make excuses for your wanting to be irresponsible.

3) Forgive quickly? Are you trying to be ironic? Girls forgiving quickly? There's no such thing, so don't even pretend. It would be wonderful if you listened to your own advise.

4) Kiss slowly.....sort of saying treasure the thrilling, meaningful moments? It's hard for me to believe girls think this way when I hear some girl from down the hall come into my room four times a week talking about how many guys she made out with each night. Doesn't sound like someone cherishing anything. (And no, don't say "Well that's just her," because it isn't, and you know it.)

5) Love truly? BAH! True love consisting of the guy who dresses the best or can make his hair look like the Gotti brothers? Girls don't want true love. It's a ruse, an excuse they use for banging a lot of guys, saying they only did it because they are still searching for the right guy.

6) Laugh uncontrollably. Bet you don't think I could be cynical about this one, huh? LAUGH UNCONTROLLABLY FROM SMOKING TOO MUCH WEED IN YOUR DORM ROOM, KILLING YOUR BRAIN CELLS, NOT GOING TO CLASS AND WASTING THE MONEY YOUR PARENTS SENT YOU FOR BOOKS ON DRUGS!!!!!

7) You should regret stuff, even if you smiled, regret is natural, it's how you learn from your mistakes. People who walk around saying they have no regrets are the people who are too proud to say they fucked up and end up with a two-year-old at twenty-five with a husband who quit his real job to be an aspiring DJ in trance clubs, while you sit at home fucking teenagers from the nearby high school, charging them $50 for a blowjob so you can fuel your cocaine habit.

The End of This School Year Can't Come Fast Enough

Right now I don't have anything assigned and due for next week. But I can feel in my bones that all of a sudden I'm going to get like three last minute things assigned in every class and I'm going to have a ton of shit to do and I'm going to go crazy for the next two weeks until I go home.

I have to go do something productive.

Here is a picture of all Joe Gibbs does with his life nowadays.

"I'm Really Down on These Asian Pitchers"

Quote attributed to Christopher Gish.

I don't know what's going on, but it seems recently many of my friends, myself included, are just down on life. Yesterday walking from Matt's to Miller's, I realized I feel so indifferent towards everything. Like when I saw the car last weekend, I didn't get mad or upset, just a feeling of, "Why won't stuff like this stop happening?"

Silva said the same thing last night. And Gish said the same thing this morning. None of us really care about anything anymore. I'm just tired of doing work; I'm burned out. I don't feel like doing anything, nothing is fun. I'm sick of it. I know Silva is burned out, too. Gish........Gish I'm not sure. Maybe he's tired of.......I don't know........eating wraps.

I'm ready to go home. Luckily, most of my finals are going to be in-class. It looks like the only one I'm going to have during the allotted time is Fundamentals of Management, on May 16th. If that one wasn't during finals, I could leave on the 11th, which would be true ass.

I start at News 12 on May 23rd, which kind of sucks because I'm not going to get that much free time before I get into Summer Work Mode. I'd like a good two weeks to just lie around, maybe go on a trip for a few days with the bownas, but it won't be enough time. I'm also too broke. Cutting it close this year, have about $200 in the bank. But the money I made over last summer lasted me this long again, so whatevas.

It just hit me like a wave. I want to go home so bad. Fuck this fucking small ass dorm room. I'm sick of dealing with all the crap here.

I'm going to go play Metal Gear Solid 3 and do laundry.



On a sidenote, anyone who has gone to school with someone from upstate New York knows that they refer to soda as "pop". We all know this is wrong and homosexual. But about half the country says pop instead of soda. Here is a map of the US with a county-by-county breakdown of what is the prevailing vernacular.

Carbonated Beverage Phrase Map

Most of the states that voted for Bush also say pop. Big surprise.





Here is a picture of some kids in Halloween costumes. I don't know what the little fag dressed like a vampire is thinking. Vampires don't wear top hats.

Regular Guy My Ass

One of the things most Bush supporters I have talked to say is that one of Bush's most likeable qualities is that he seems just like a regular guy: hard working man who gets his hands dirty, who you can see yourself sitting at a barstool with after work, having a beer and shooting the breeze.

People who say this are a good example of the medical disorder called dementia.

Despite the fact that maybe the role of president shouldn't be occupied by a "regular guy" in the first place, the truth is Bush is not a regular guy at all.

Now I could argue it here with different facts and whatnot, but I believe the best way to make my point is by an illustration.

The link below is a photograph taken of the Bush ranch in Texas. Keep in mind ALL the land in the photo is part of the ranch:

Massive Bush Ranch

The thing is the size of that Living Forest in Lord of the Rings.

Now I don't know about the regular guys you know, but I don't know to many that own miles and miles and miles of land as their VACATION HOME. This isn't even his usual place of residence. And I'm not talking about the White House, either. They also own tons of land in the Northeast.

So, for all you suffering from dementia, I hope this was your cure. Probably not, though. You'll believe what you want no matter how many facts are shoved in your face.

One More Great Reason to Visit the Site 12 Times a Day

Consider this a present for visiting this crappy website:

Leaked NEW Episode of Family Guy

I can tell you that it looks like they haven't lost a step during the 3-year hiatus. Funny stuff.


You're welcome.

Update 4/27: Apparently way too many people visited the site, and the movie was taken offline. Oh well, it's going to be on TV on Sunday anyway. Just watch it then. You just won't be able to brag how cool you are for a few days.

A Banner Weekend

It started out OK. Meg's birthday party was awesome.

Then Kristin got sick and threw up all over Oneonta. Then I went to get my car at Silva's and someone smashed my windshield. I've got a ton of work to do, a speech on Wednesday that I hate, a paper on Friday, internship paperwork to take care of, and have to go drop a few hundred dollars to fix the car sometime in between.

The next five days are going to suck.

I hate you all.

Love,

David

Somebody Needs A Visit From Dr. Phil

Now, as anyone who has been around one or the other knows, Rob and Lisa have a weird relationship. It's all over the place.

You know how sometimes when people refuse to talk to each other, they get a different person to relay information between the two disputing parties? Somehow I became that person, and got caught in the middle of a Rob/Lisa showdown, the reason for the dispute I do not know. I just got brought into it in the middle.

Also, this is the first time I've experienced this during an online argument. Somewhat un-Orthodox.

To make this as easy to follow as possible, I have colored the times I was talking to Lisa in purple, and times I was talking to Rob in blue. I have also put the responses in chronological order, to give the reader a sense of what was being said at what times.

Klb671 (3:18:59 PM): tell rob he is a bumbfuck
Fantom05 (3:19:29 PM): why is he a bumbfuck, when the term is actually bumblefuck?
Klb671 (3:19:40 PM): oh yeah....lol

Fantom05 (3:19:59 PM): Klb671 (3:18:59 PM): tell rob he is a bumbfuck
RobtheMadman521 (3:28:16 PM): tell my gitlfriend shes a fucking asshole

Fantom05 (3:29:02 PM): RobtheMadman521 (3:28:16 PM): tell my gitlfriend shes a fucking asshole
Klb671 (3:29:15 PM): tell him to fucking grow up and leave me the fuck alone

Fantom05 (3:29:25 PM): Klb671 (3:29:15 PM): tell him to fucking grow up and leave me the fuck alone

Fantom05 (3:29:36 PM): oh boy, this is a fun position to be in, relationship insult messenger

RobtheMadman521 (3:29:37 PM): lol
RobtheMadman521 (3:29:44 PM): tell her shes a poo poo face

Klb671 (3:29:51 PM): haha i have no idea why he brought you into this

Fantom05 (3:30:00 PM): oh shit, you went there?
RobtheMadman521 (3:30:09 PM): damn right I did

Fantom05 (3:30:16 PM): RobtheMadman521 (3:29:44 PM): tell her shes a poo poo face
Klb671 (3:30:47 PM): wow, i'm done....dont send him anything from me

Fantom05 (3:31:09 PM): Klb671 (3:30:47 PM): wow, i'm done....dont send him anything from me
RobtheMadman521 (3:31:15 PM): lol
Fantom05 (3:31:18 PM): i did it anyway
RobtheMadman521 (3:31:37 PM): lol
RobtheMadman521 (3:32:58 PM): ah screw her anyway, I had sex with her sister
Fantom05 (3:33:12 PM): hahaha
RobtheMadman521 (3:33:23 PM): send her that, i'm curious as to how shes gonna react
Fantom05 (3:33:32 PM): all right hold on

Fantom05 (3:33:42 PM): RobtheMadman521 (3:32:58 PM): ah screw her anyway, I had sex with her sister
Klb671 (3:36:54 PM): he is such a jerk
Fantom05 (3:37:24 PM): you two are nuts

Fantom05 (3:37:05 PM): Klb671 (3:36:54 PM): he is such a jerk
RobtheMadman521 (3:37:43 PM): lol

Klb671 (3:37:46 PM): oh god don't send that to him!
Klb671 (3:37:55 PM): abrams you're a jerk
Fantom05 (3:38:05 PM): hahahahaha, what'd i do
Fantom05 (3:38:31 PM): if you would have said it faster than 2 minutes later you couldve warned me

Two things of note:

1) It was Lisa who brought me into this , not Rob. She says, "i have no idea why he brought you into this," when in reality it is her own fault.

2) I wanted to show that Lisa waited a full minute in telling me not to send that 'jerk' comment. I am absolved of any malicious intent or wrongdoing.

I wish these crazy kids the best of luck and hope they have a happy life together. Let's give them a hand!

The Confessions of Lieutenant Homo

So right now I'm listening to my gay RA roommate who goes into the freshman girls' room across the hall when he wants to feel wise and important, and is telling them how he sassed some teacher.

Apparently, the teacher was talking about guys who are really strong and how they spend 6 hours in the gym and use steroids, and at the end of it said, "Isn't that right, Steve?" referencing this kid's huge frame. He said:

"And I'm like, are you fucking kidding me, guy? I actually said fuck to him to, I said are you fucking kidding me, guy? Who says that? And I got up and walked out of the room. Who does this guy think he is?"

Obviously the reason Steve (also known as Lt. Homo) got pissed is because the teacher hit it right on the money: this kid does spend all his time in the gym, AND he does steroids. Gish overheard him talking in the gym once about how steroids really don't do anything to you.

Then, Lt. Homo starts spouting off at the mouth about how tomorrow is 4/20 and he hates that people smoke weed, more than usual, on that day:

"I ask what day it is tomorrow, and these kids sitting in front of me are like yo its 4/20, and I'm like what is that and they're like dude its like smokeout day, and like all these fucking kids are going to go to class stoned and shit, and like I hate that shit, like to all these people 4/20 is like weed day, no, 4/20 is the anniversary of Columbine, assholes."

Two things are wrong with this: first, this kid is the last one who can get angry with people who substance abuse, as he not only uses fucking steroids and chews tobacco, but also is drunk half the time anyway.

THEN, this kid has the fucking nerve to act like he is pissed at people for not remembering the anniversary of Columbine. This coming from a huge Republican tool who advocates guns everywhere, a kid that I've heard on several times go in and try to be a psuedo-intellectual about politics but can only find little freshman girls who won't contradict him to yell his views at. This piece of shit has the nerve to be that condescending. A kid who loves to pretend he's Mr. Patriotic and loving the USA and loving our troops for their bravery and listen to too much Kenny Chesney and country music and wear a fucking cowboy hat because he wants to be a redneck, this 23-year old junior in college who the US Army would love to have enlist but doesn't do it, why? Because he's a fucking hypocritical coward who supports stuff, just as long as it doesn't effect HIS life.

Go fuck yourself you juiced-up, sheltered, spoiled brat.

Holy shit. I haven't been pissed like this in a while.







OK, its out of my system.

Anyway, its been nice out. People outside constantly, etc etc you've heard my rant about it. But take a look here. On Saturday, there's CHANCE OF SNOW. I doubt there is anywhere in the world where it goers from being in the 80s one day to snowing that weekend. I can't wait to see the people on Thursday, when the temperature is going to drop 30 degrees, who didn't watch the news or Weather Channel, walk outside in their tanktops, flip-flops, and khaki shorts, and get hit with some sub-freezing early morning air.

Damn. I really talk about weather a lot.

Mets Fans Are the New Yankee Fans

So the Mets reach .500 and every Mets fan on Earth acts like they won a World Series in almost 20 years. Oh, wait, that wasn't them, that was every other team.

The IMs started at about 3am this morning: first Laz, then Jackobel, then the Madman, then my brother, the lists goes on...

DannyMayonaisse (5:40:32 PM): mets already got their big slump forthe season out of the way now we're just gonna keep winning until october

Keep being delusional. The Mets always burn out around mid-July and hit a wonderful 8 game losing streak. As if that wasn't enough, they'll do another one in early September.

And as for the Marlins, their offense hasn't even begun to hand out the devastating power they wield. Give it some time.

The NL East is colored black and teal this year.

The Mets can't even do math. Retards.

I Give You....The Epitome of an AIM Profile

Not that it should surprise anyone who knows him, but Kodi has the complete archetype of an AIM profile. Take a look at this thing:

i'm not an alcoholic.. i'm a college student


I'd dodge a bullet for you....


Spring Break Photos


"when your wet dream becomes your worst nightmare"



white frame house, a college town, a bunch of people always hanging around, no real
problems we needed to drown.... but we tried our best anyway






Change is the only constant.....



Sexline: 845 807 xxx7











pictures are memories stuck in time...













something about you

===========================================================
This profile covers all the bases you need for a classic profile: something about drinking, a link to some kind of photo website (the fact that it says Spring Break Photos just gives it bonus points), a quote from an emo song, your cell phone number (but you can't just write 'Cell Phone #', it has to say Digits or something along those lines), and ending with a deep, meaningful, mysterious phrase you know is meant for that 'special someone'.

The majority of people have something along those lines as their profile. But I doubt anyone can compete with the complete and utter perfection Kodi has achieved with his personal AIM gem.

"Your permanent record will one day disqualify you from all but the hottest and noisiest of jobs."

In my Fundamentals of Management class a while back, we had to take a standardized test which tells us what kind of manager 'type' we are.

This Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator Instrument "reports a person's preferred ways of attending to the world and making decisions."

Now for the most part, I believe standardized tests are nothing more than a scheme to sell #2 pencils and Scantron sheets. But when I got this thing back, I sat in class stunned: of the sixteen possible types a person could be, mine described me almost to a T.

Before we got the results back, she had us try to guess what the results would show us to be. I picked INTJ, which is:

Introversion (interest in ideas in your mind that explain the world)

INtuition (Interest in what can be imagined, seen with the mind's eye)

Thinking (Interest in what is logical and works by cause and effect)

Judging (Interest in acting by organizing, planning, deciding)

INTJ was also the personality type the test said I was. But this was not the part that amazed me; it was the extended description of INTJ people.

This is the description:

"Logical, critical, decisive, innovator of ideas; serious, intent, highly independent; concerned with organization, determined and often stubborn. With introverted intuition as their strongest mental process, at their best when inspiration turns insight into ideas and plans for improving human knowledge and systems.

Values: organized outer life; spontaneous inner life, conceptual skills, planful independent academic learning, originality independence of mind, intellectual quickness ingenuity, non-emotional tough mindedness, freedom from interference in projects, seeing complexities and hidden meanings, improving things by finding flaws, pursuing a vision; conceptualizing, working to a plan and schedule"

I laughed out loud when I saw the "improving things by finding flaws" comment.

Most people who know me would say this hits the nail on the head. More or less it's saying I'm an anal asshole that just wants everyone to leave them alone and let them do what they need to do to get shit done.

When you're right, you're right.

WONYPALOOZA 2005

I guess I should start this tale of music, money, deception, and frustration from the beginning.

After last year's WONYpalooza was such a big success, it was almost a given that the station would put on another benefit concert this year. Even though the GM and a local music aficionado were in charge of the planning last year, since it is a charity event, it was interpreted to fall under the category of a PR job, meaning it fell under my jurisdiction. Which was OK. I mean, it can't be THAT hard to put on a concert, right?

I did not realize that such a simple idea would kill any remaining trust I had in the human race.

So around mid-February, Miller and I started to look for a venue for the show. This was our first mistake; we should've started looking months before. Anyway, since the Bullet is on "bad terms" with the station, last year's place was out of the question, so we went to the Fox. They told us they only do one show a month since all their regulars like to listen to their MP3 jukebox (the guy was so proud of the jukebox), and said we could do it in July.

No.

Then we went to the Pub, who never got back to us. We were running out of places to hold this thing when Silva recommended Smokey Joe's Cafe. They said they were open to it. But when we brought this news back to the E-Board, we were met with resistance. Supposedly we had bad blood with Smokey's too. But since the end of the semester was coming quickly, we decided to say fuck it and do it there.

Now, the format of last year's show was probably 6 or 7 bands, doing whatever amount of songs they wanted, and it worked pretty smoothly. This is what we had in mind for this year's show as well. But we didn't take the J Factor into account.

What is the J-Factor? J stands for Josh, one of the biggest scumbag douches I've met in my life. Josh is the "booking agent" for Smokey Joe's. This guy used to be a member of the station years ago, and is one of those guys that ends up staying in the college town, I guess trying to keep living the college life for as long as possible. So Miller and I go in and talk to this guy. He tells us, and I quote:

"The show I used to do with PJ up there was the biggest show ever on that station. We got back the ratings, and it was the highest rated show ever on WONY."

Problem is we don't get ratings for the station; no company does ratings for college radio. So right off the bat I can tell this guy is an egotistical cockdick.

We bring him a list of bands who want to play the show. He says he only wants 3 bands with 45-minute sets a piece. Why? "I'm exercising my executive privilege here." Wow. You are so fucking gay.

But we were not in any position to bargain, we had to put up with it or not do a show. He tells us one band, Too Hot to Kill, HAS to play the show, because, and once again I'm quoting:

"When they play here, it's like God is living in the rafters."

"Fine. Whatever. But what about the two other bands. See that band, Stop Gavrilo? One of them is a member of the station. We want as many DJs bands as possible to play. They've played here before. Is that cool if they play?"

"Have they gotten any better? Cause honestly, they aren't too good."

This guy thought we were doing a private concert for him in his living room. This shit continued. None of the bands were up to snuff for the guy. He pulled some "I'm a mover and shaker" shit with his cell phone, trying to impress us with bands he knew to get them on the lineup. Every single one crashed and burned.

We didn't have the bands solidified until no joke 72 hours before the show. The guy got some band Groove Nation which sounded so gay I was scared no one would come. But Josh's great friends bailed on him the Monday before, 5 days before the show. They must really like you.

Anyway, so that was a struggle. But there was another, more frustrating, problem that plagued us literally until the day we held the show.

The Music Industry Club asked if we were up for a joint alumni weekend. We said cool, and since WONYpalooza was to kick off Alumni Weekend, we asked them if we could borrow their equipment for the show, since we did last year. They said OK.

Then during spring break, T-minus one week before the show, their faculty advisor decided they shouldn't have anything to do with WONY anymore, so we couldn't use their stuff anymore. Why they decided this out of the clear blue is still not unclear, but it was something we had to deal with. I spent the last days of spring break trying to call anyone I could think of and trying to find if we could rent the stuff. No dice.

When we got back, some kid in CUAC said we could use his stuff. Crisis averted, right? No. Two days later, he said his friend, who's band was rejected by Josh from performing in the show, didn't want to let us use his stuff. We don't have equipment 3 days before the event.

Then we find out from a kid performing in the show we could use his. Crisis averted, right? No. He then decided he didn't want his stuff to get broken at Smokey's, so he wouldn't let us use it. Now it's one day before the show.

But the Sassman bailed us out. One of Steve Sass' housemates had the stuff, and we finally got the equipment, 3 hours before the show. Can't cut it much closer.

Back to the bands. By the time we got back the Monday of the show, we had the three bands confirmed: Stop Gavrilo, Groove Nation, and the overlords of Smokey's, Too Hot to Kill. So I made a few different flyers to hang all over campus. All I did Monday was walk all over campus hanging these flyers up.

Monday we get the call Groove Nation is out. So after spending hours and hours working on these flyers, I find out they all now inaccurate and wrong. I flipped out.

But Joystick Generation, who wanted to play the thing in the first place, finally met the Stalin of music's rigid criteria, and were on the lineup.

By the time Friday came, I was just ready for the thing to be over. As long as 20 people came, to me it was successful enough for me.

But the show actually went really, really well, especially considering the never-ending problems. Joey's was packed, the music was good, and Professor Murphy showed up, which made the thing that much better.

We ended up making $600 when all was said and done. Joey's was able to get businesses to donate goods and services to be raffled off, which alone made $110 and change.

Everyone had a great time. I'm just glad I don't have to do it ever again.

Here are some of the select pics from the show.
