This weekend I took the wife to see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie for our anniversary. It wasn't exactly her thang , per se, but she seemed to dig it. Unfortunately, the spirit of fair play reared its ugly head, and last night I was coerced into watching something called Pussy Cat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll. Not to sound crude or anything, but how a show with a filthy euphemism right there in the title could be so unabashedly boring is beyond me.
Apparently, to make it into a cheesy pseudo-burlesque pop act one has to cry. A lot. Or maybe that's just the reality show angle kicking in. I don't know.But I digress.
And now, on to the Nerd News in Brief.
- Steve met Chuck!: After last Friday's Public Enemy show in St. Pete, my boy funky49 got to meet (and rhyme for) Chuck fuckin' D! He got to meet Flav too, but, ever since the whole Flavor of Love debacle, that doesn't carry quite as much weight as it once did. Still, you gotta give it up to funk for meeting such hip hop heavy hitters!
- Unwashed masses: Chozo Ninpo has been hard at work for months trying to lay the groundwork for Info2K8: The Internet Nerdcore Family Outing 2008. Everything currently known about the project is available in a dedicated RT forum, and you can also check out Info2K8 on MySpace. In the meantime, Hex Warrior is currently planning his own Northern California nerd music festival called Nerdapalooza. This event is currently slated for early September of this year in the Eureka area. You can also hit Hex up on MySpace for more details.
- Delia Derbyshire FTW: Church just hipped me to a literal shit-ton of Dr. Who Theme remixes that are free for the taking. Interested? You should be.
- Keepon keepin' on: My pal Brüx passed on another little nugget of awesome in the form of this vid of Keepon the dancing robot I want one. I want one bad.
- Reflections on the Mediocre Tour: After last night's gig in San Fran, the noble Mediocre Tour wrapped up in earnest. The nigh-endless stream of reports coming into my humble home office from the tour's various stops seem to agree on one thing: Beefy, Router, Doc, and co. brought it! If you haven't already, check out Brüx's impression of the St. Patty's show, dig Denika's pics from the LA affair and peep the Rhyme Torrents forums to find out whom groped/kissed/wrestled with MC Router.

BTW I forgot to mention that you are free to use any of my Mediocre pics Z. ;)
Oh, shit! I totally meant to credit you on that, Denika. Sorry. :(
I'm pretty excited about both of the big shows. I know both Chozo and Hex are working as hard as they possibly can, so if anybody can help in any way possible, just let 'em know. On another note, I'm pretty excited about PAX and it being possibly the first MPFM show in a while. Steller and I are both really excited.
I'm going to see TMNT tonight so wish me luck, Z.
I'm pretty damned excited for you! And lemme know what you think of the movie, Steffo.
OMG that little yellow robot is teh win! Seriously, he looks just like a little person grooving. Not like those stupid dancing flowers you put on top of your speakers.
Yeah, Denika, Keepon is the shit! :D
XD that keepon is so fucking cute~~
Congrats to funky (even though I feel silly for stating the obvious.)
For the record, that's a metric, not imperial, shit-ton of remixes. Caution, it's oddly addictive. I've got a complete playlist of Who Themes.
I saw Keepon over the weekend, but completely dismissed it. I'll have to revisit it.
Church,
You want to dismiss the Keepon at first, I know, but once you see how it moves you are hooked on its squidgy little marshmallow form! You have to watch it dance to Spoon, not the drum.
Fucking cute indeed, Rai. Fucking cute indeed!
Denika’s right, Church; you become enamored with his tiny, pudgy gyrations. And make sure you watch the Spoon clip. That one’s where he really gets his tiny robot freak on.
i got groped? and i missed it??! DAMMIT!!!
hey, I don't have access to email right now, but check this out: Being a geek makes you more attractive
It was just Kenshin, Router. So, y’know, you prolly didn’t miss anything. ;)
That was a great read, Soc, and it rings true. Thanks for sharing!
