Why are there so many… Songs about Donuts…. And what’s on the other side?
Some of us Tumblr folks, along with our friends from Kickstarter and SoundCloud, are throwing a party in Austin this weekend for SXSW.
RSVP and come hang out!
And a special thanks to Tumblr’s hosting partner The Planet for sponsoring.
I Did It for The Best Show & WFMU
And Tom did it for me. 
While getting the Fantasia in Best Show Minor DVD will be awesome, it’s just the icing on the savory & sweet seven-layer cake that is The Best Show. If you don’t know, you better ask somebody, quick!
GPOYW: Aloha Edition
My cousin got married here in 2006. It’s also where Jack got married on LOST, and (one of) The King Kamehameha Clubs in Magnum PI. I don’t know what spells better luck for the young couple than those two.
SXSW 2010 - Countdown
Austin & internet friends, I will see you Friday. Get in touch if you’ll be there.
Zach’s Beard
Besides the monologue which was mind-blowingly awesome, Zach’s beard was my favorite part of the episode. 100% greatness. Maybe Seth Galifianakis make some appearances soon.
Worlds Worst Ghost Catchers came to Richmond to film yesterday and selected the historic Richmond Pump House as it’s location. In recent years the pumphouse has been closed to visitors and serves more as a rendezvous point for anonymous sex than anything else, so a bunch of the photographers I know used it as an excuse to explore the abandoned space.
The “spectacle” was pretty ridiculous. They never explained much to the crowd of hundreds who had lined up to watch ghosts be caught or a live seance, or for anything to happen prove that ghosts exist. There was loads of dramatic lighting, creepy/ambient flute music, smoke machines, strobe lights, a giant custom made tesla coil in what a friend described as a “money machine”. I suppose it wouldn’t surprise you to tell you that they filmed the whole thing for some unknown TV show, and the expert (the one wearing the cowboy hat must know the most, right?) admitted that he didn’t know anything about the location so it was clearly selected for it’s dramatic element.
Anyway, I think my photos of the event turned out pretty decent, and I got some cool shots of the surroundings before my battery died (sppppoooookkkkyyyyy).
Don’t worry, they didn’t find any ghosts at the pump house. Photos of the spectacle to come, and include but aren’t limited to: lasers, fog machines and a giant tesla coil.
