Saturday, August 30, 2003 Love Stinks, Yeah Yeah Can I just say for the record that I think that today's proposed "Love Flash" is a godawful idea? Thank you. [ps. I have reasons, a long page of them actually, but I won't waste your time with them here...] posted by Ginger | 3:23 AM Friday, August 29, 2003 All This Weekend: Midnight Screenings of Wet Hot American Summer!  You horny bastard....you're Victor! Everybody thinks you get more than you do. You wear short shorts. Your hair is...poofy. You are the only one who knows how to navigate the river. And you risk your life for the love of a woman. You're just a love machine. What Wet Hot American Summer Character Are You? brought to you by Quizilla posted by Ginger | 6:13 PM Thursday, August 28, 2003 Flashlight Mob, Part II [By Sam, via Defective Yeti] Q: How many bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb? A: Well, at first just one. Within 3 days, however, every blogger in the country has heard about this "lightbulb changing" and is trying it and posting about their experiences. Within a week it's been so overdone that changing lightbulbs "just isn't done anymore". Maybe a month later, some 43 year old woman surfing the net for the first time hears about it and then sends out an email to her entire mail list, and it becomes a phenomenon in the "unconnected crowd" for a while, but then it eventually dies out. Several months later, it'll be revived for a few days along with "All your base are belong to us", and someone will create an "All your base"/lightbulb changing mashup. The whole thing will implode when some enterprising blogger hits on the idea of "flash bulbs" and is hailed from LA to NY as the newest blogging phenomenon. posted by Ginger | 7:24 PM One-Stop Shopping From the spam-filter trash heap: Welcome to the site [URL deleted], it's us again, now we extended our offerings, here is a list: 1.

No time to go into details at the moment, but Fred has a good report of the goings on (with photos) as well as more photos at Satan's Laundromat and Moist & Tasty. The more I think about it the more I like this one. I am sorry I missed the real "signal" to disperse (as seen on Moist & Tasty ). It seems that it disbanded just a touch early with an impromptu "Strokes! Strokes! Strokes!" chant-- either that or when the official signal came, the dispersal advanced organically. In any case, it seemed to go down more faithfully to the "script" than most. [Update: My favorite spectator moment was when two older women exited the church. "These people weren't here when we went in!" observed one. The other asked "Should we get in line too?"] I agree with Fred that "Bill" has done a great job with this project, and it seems appropriate that it end at the end of the summer, with MOB 8. Update: another report from first-time mobber, Terminus. Also: I was briefly name-checked on Weblog Central (see August 19). Whee! Their link to my post is broken though. This one will work. Yet again: I'm seeing some complaints about this one - it wasn't obvious or disruptive enough. To each his/her own MOB, of course, but for me it's never been about amusing/shocking large numbers of people. I'm not against that, necessarily, but I get into the personal experience of participating, and if it impacts even a handful people, it's cool. posted by Ginger | 11:41 AM Tuesday, August 26, 2003 MOB 7 You kids are going to have to wait for my report on MOB 7 tonight, as I'm not taking my computer home with me. Instead, surely these usual suspects will get their $0.02 online as soon as they can escape from the clutches of the international media: [update: so far these are the only ones to have reports and/or photos on MOB 7] Fred's Journal Satan's Laundromat Moist and Tasty Creamy [these have had NYC mob reports in the past, but nothing at the moment] cheesebikini? Happy Robot Glowlab Venus in Furs Strange Radiation Enjoy. posted by Ginger | 5:12 PM Sunday, August 24, 2003 Tiki'd Out Still in Chicago, on the final day of this extended diversion from the drudgery of everyday life. The tiki party is over, and while I can't say I consider myself a tiki enthusiast on the level of my fellow Exotica 2003 attendees, I had a swell time, met a lot of cool people, and imbibed my annual allowance of rum in a single weekend [for the record: a total of ten cocktails between Thursday and Saturday]. And I never got a hangover! I also got to spend time with old friends Colby and Nate, which was a nice bonus, and though James was pretty busy hobnobbing with the tiki-ists (he's something of a celebrity in their midst, due in part to his book Tiki Road Trip) we've gotten to catch up a little too. Also guesting in la casa de James was Sven, perhaps even more of a tiki-world celebrity because of his gorgeous book, which I spent most of my pre-Hanson Wednesday poring over. Sven was accompanied by Naomi, the delightful and fashionable owner of the 8ball store in Los Angeles. If you're in the area, please give her a visit and tell her I said "hi." Rounding out the guests was Bruce, who as far as I know does not have a website attached to him, but nonethless appears to be a productive member of society. It's been a good time here in Chicago. I'm glad I came. posted by Ginger | 10:00 PM |
