Life, the Universe, and Everything: April 2009

Soo yesterday was pretty amazing. I got to hang out with the most amazing people ever.

Yeah there was Nein square and extreme tic tac toe. There was song singing, guitar playing, and jedi lightsaber wielding (the man tried to keep "The Awesome 2: Electric Bugaloo" down and he succeeded).

Well anywho after the caritas day in the bay Shawn Washington

and I thought it would be best if we headed over to Rasputin's to see the Siversun Pickups play for free. Amazing I know but we got there like an hour late and didn't get to see them play. We did however wait in line and get autographs and such.

Well the line was kinda long, but it moved fast once you got in there. Their was lots of time to look at all the albums rasputin's had to offer. This Harry Connick Jr. CD was only $0.50!!

What a deal. Soooo we were moving along in the line and then headed up stairs and there were some LIVE 105 representatives passing out stickers. I took one, but Shawn said he didn't want one because he doesn't listen to LIVE 105. The LIVE 105 people said cmon take one. Then Shawn replied with "That would make me a poser." The LIVE 105 people got all offended and would continue to harrass us and make us feel awkward by says stuff like "I'm so not a poser. You're the poser" under their breath. I have now have agreed to take part in a LIVE 105 boycott until they get some not dickhead sticker passer outers. Plus they need to stop playing that one Offspring song because I hate it. If I wanted to listen to The Offspring I would play Crazy Taxi. Well we were getting pretty close to SSPU now and I was trying to think of something witty and exciting for me to say to them so that they would have to reply with "Hey Drue your cool. Come tour with us and be our friend." I was trying to remember what that one kid from "almost famous" says but i couldn't. I found this picture in my pocket that a little girl drew that looked pretty much excactly like this

So I gave it to Shawn and he was going to give it to Brian (the lead singer)

This was the conversation:
Brian: Hey, nice to meet you.
Shawn: Nice to meet you too. This is for you.
Brian: *opens it* oh?(in a WTF voice)
Shawn: Yeah, see, it's deep though, cause he wishes he was a T-rex, but he IS a T-rex.
Brian: Oh yeah, it's kinda like the whole warped body image thing(in an enlightened voice)
Shawn: Exactly! It's also a good song title ;)
Brian: Yeah, or like, the band 't-rex' I'm gonna draw Marc Bolan
Shawn: ha, yeeeah(in a I don't know what your talking about but whatever voice)
Brian: Thanks, I like this, I'm gonna keep it.

That pretty much made my day even though I was having a fantastic day to start with. Even if they threw it away like 2 seconds afterward i still was amazingly cool. So I got my swoon cd signed and a poster signed too. I got to meet SSPU and then after go eat chinese food and play magic with Shawn E Fresh.

Awesome!

Heres my review of swoon since we are on the topic

Its decent not their best. Not as chill as some of the stuff in Pikul or Carnavas. I do like the double tracking of Brian's voice and they do it a lot in this where he is like yelling and whispering the words at the same time.
