Test post with new Blog settings bullied by Jason Betrue on 6/27/2003 ::  So this feature was totally ready to go yesterday, but Blogger, the web logging software we use to put all this stuff on page one, was busy undergoing maintenance. So suck it. In a good way, of course. Anyways, it is hot and sticky in the Bay Area this week, and in the case of my bedroom, infested by small gnats. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW! Sprayed a little Raid and it was all good. I mean, what are a few toxic fumes inhaled deeply as I sleep going to do??? Kill me slowly over time? Whatever. I am young, and therefore invincible. Now wouldn't it be ironic if I somehow died soon? Everyone would point to this very post and be like "It's ironic Jamie passed away so young, having written that he was 'young and therefore invincible' on that lil' web page thingy he does". But for that to happen now would be double ironic because I am aware of the original irony, and double irony is almost impossible to achieve. Watch me be the first (that would be triple irony). Ummmmmm... please enjoy the long list that is 233 Things Danny Glover is Getting Too Old For. It is 233 small slices of heaven and will only take you 45 minutes to read. bullied by jamie flam on 6/26/2003 :: This Is Literally The Only Thing I Klan Think Of  Hello and welcome to a new lunchboxing feature. It's been a while, we know. As you might have read in the text below the picture of the boy riding a burrito down a river, we were hard at work with one of our in-person programs, but never did we want to abandon our loving lunchboxing family!!! We're going to have several new features this week, and we're going to start off with a wonderful topical piece from our world-renowned correspondent Paws O'Henry. Please enjoy the editorial A Call to Action to Stop the Klan. It is about the Ku Klux Klan, which you may have guessed by the title, and by the picture above the title, and perhaps by the worst title pun in lunchboxing history, above that. Thanks. bullied by Jason Betrue on 6/24/2003 :: The New Expression Sails Down 'End of Show' River  Hello gang. The lunchboxing crew is recovering after a long and intense weekend of insanity. The week leading up to The New Expression was as hectic as could be. Little sleep and lots of time in front of a computer, editing videos, writing, prepping for the biggest and baddest art show ever. Long hours making songs, making art, making love. Art was hung up Thursday evening, and due to a mis-scheduling on the part of the venue, we had a cool 20 minutes to rehearse our comedy on stage. Not ideal. By any means. The doors opened Friday Night to the sounds of Transendence and Oaktown Stitchdown models lined up mid-gallery. The place packed up quickly. A much greater turn out than could ever have been expected. People started filing into the theatre for the comedy show. No time for last minute line rehearsal. With two hours of sleep, last minute details that never worked themselves out, and an easel on three milk crates, we took to the stage, and improvised our way through a semi-cohesive opening which led to a song that went on "a little" too long. Played a couple videos which led into our "Improv Session." The idea was to take suggestions from the audience and then "improv" what were obviously scripted scenes. It went over everyone's heads. Including my own. I think the fact that the scripted scenes were from Police Academy, City of Angels, and Charles in Charge only confused matters. Oh well. More videos, more stage stuff, time is running out, still have two 3 minute shorts and a 40 minute movie to play and next show starts in... 40 minutes... Fuck. Jamie=runnyaroundyinsaney. We have to cut two of our strongest videos because shit just takes too long. Lessons were learned. Primarily... rehearsal is a good thing to do before performing live in front of big audiences! People still seemed happy, and felt it was worth their five bucks. We did provide pretzels and Inca Kola. Closing night, lessons learned from night before applied. No Improv, shorten song, play 40 minute movie as people file in, adopt 'don't-give-a-shit' attitude. Mission: Success! The audience was much smaller, and consisted of 90% friends who were there the night before, but shit, no complaints. Hopefully we will have all the videos up on the site soon. A BIG thank you to everyone who came out for the show, and to everyone who participated... I know everyone is sick of hearing about The New Expression, so consider this the last NE related post until the next show. Which is tommorow. So SUCK IT! Oh yeah one more thing... click the picture above of the kid on the burrito for a real treat! bullied by jamie flam on 6/23/2003 :: |
