All Ponts West

This could possibly be exciting. A concert festival in Liberty State Park! So close, and yet a semi un-inspiring lineup. Yes who doesn't love Radiohead, Underworld, Chromeo, CSS, Girl Talk, and The Go! Team. But who does love paying $258 US dollars for three day access? Maybe me, maybe not. Anyhow, it's worth mentioning.

One word: Bonnaroo.

Ghost Ridin' The Whip!

In the entire world, there are few things more refreshing and hysterical than the concept of ghost ridin' the whip. GHOST RIDE THE WHIP. WHAT A FUCKING RIOT.

Here's a video of someone's grandmother ghost-riding the whip (is the dash proper?). And just when you thought life couldn't get any better. It does.





Excuse me a second while I ghost ride the whip.

Damn, I've never seen someone ghost ride the whip with such flawless elegance.

Oh no, oh no you don't! Danny how dare you ghost ride that whip! This is the last straw for you mister!

Meanwhile, I'm all like baby, this is a brand new ride! We gotta ghost ride this whip is all I'm saying.


On a more serious note, I do wish life were like one long, riotous, ghost ride of the whip.. And upon reflection; it is.

Afrika Bambaattaa!

Who can even introduce Afrika Bambaataa? Not me for one. Definitive revolutionary, mad skills. This is not an event to miss.

Daft Punk Samples

I find this very interesting. Ever wonder where our idols get their samples from? Here's a taste. I did some investigative research. It checks out. Let me know if you can think of any others. I find this damn cool.

Full Lunar Eclipse! You don't say.

Check it out. Tonight at from 8:43 PM EST to 12:09 AM EST the moon will go through a full eclipse cycle. Lunar eclipses must be sacred. Either way, I'm totally into them.

Kanye Presale

Kanye is playing The Garden for his fancy and well illuminated (I hope) Glow in the Dark tour. He's playing with Lupe Fiasco, N.E.R.D., and even Rihanna (whoo hoo?). Anyhow, the presale is going on now though Ticketmaster. Tickets run from $49.50 - $149.50 US dollars (ouch). But, I guarantee those prices will be a 1/4 of the ticket price once scalpers get their greedy hands on the seats.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Saturday 2/23/08 at Noon. If you want these seats, act now.


Kanye is also playing Bonnaroo, woo hoo!

FREE PANCAKES!

Today marks my 23rd birthday. And it also marks (INTER)NATIONAL FREE PANCAKE DAY FROM IHOP! One free short stack per customer per iHop. They just ask that you donate to the local children's hospital. They hope to raise $750,000 US dollars with free pancakes. Brilliant.

I love pancakes. I LOVE iHop. I love free shit. I love children. I'm on my way.
