So I got to see Kepi the Band last night at Bernies and it was amazing.  The Copyrights opened for them and totally rocked that place.  Then Kepi the band gets on stage.  Kepi has the most fun stage presence ever.  I can’t even explain how much fun this guy is to watch.  He hung from the pipes and kicked the ceiling, took the drum sticks and drummed on the pipes, took a bar stool put it on the stage and laid across it swimming in the air, and spent the entire time ruing back and forth and jumping on stage.  They played about an even split of new songs and Groovie Ghoulie songs and you know I loved that.  Last time I saw the Groovie Ghoulies there a few years ago I couldn’t see the stage but this time there were no more than 20 people there and I was right in front dancing my butt off.  I love his little glasses he wears.

There is this dude that hangs out at Bernie’s all the time that apperently someone emailed Kepi about saying that he should let him get on stage and sing Batman.  Not only did Kepi have him sing Batman but when the guy said “what about Louie Louie?” Kepi said how about it and the band played that song with him singing.  The girls didn’t even know the song but just followed along with Danny Secretion and rocked it out.

I got the new Kepi 7″ at the show and had Kepi sign my Flying Saucer 7″

do you see how he drew a little flying saucer haha so cute.

All in all this was a great night… thanks Mikey for giving me the heads up on this show.

so the festival was a total bust.  Our set up looked really good but I think the fact that it rained almost the whole time put a little damper on the day heh.  Everyone ended up closing up shop and leaving.  the storm was ridiculous and rained right through our tent.  We sold nothing which realy sucks but it seems as though no one really sold anthing and i am sure mother nature is completely to blame.  here are some fun pictures of our tables and when we got to hide out in the tent pushing the water off the top.

ali’s baskets are so nice

I really think that framed contour drawing looks really cute

I used my hello kitty uno container to hold my business cards I am so creative heh

And here comes the rain :

it poured

so I ordered a pizza today before the festival and laughed so hard when I opened the box

tell me that isn’t amazing.  I love that people do fun stuff like that

So I feel extra cool like I hit the big time heh. I have business cards now!

Aren’t they so cute. I am totally happy with my design.

Yay I have been working so hard on my art for the Powell Festival.  I am loving all the stuff I have been making. I am not quite sure where  this cutesy style has come from but I think it may be a big hit at the festival (or at least I hope it will be).  check it out there are some drawings, paintings, and prints.

I went to see mc chris yesterday. I was very glad it was a 6-10 show because I would have had a terrible time waking up today for work @ 4:30 if it was a late show. He is touring with The Age of Rockets who are actually one in the same with the snobots. The snobots do all of mc chris’ remixes. I was super glad to see these guys they are seriously awesome. They are electronic/indie music you all should check them out for sure.

mc chris of course was awesome!! I think he did all of his songs from his latest album mc chris is dead and quite a few old favorites. Of course he did do some crowd favorites like FTW, hijack, fette’s vette, 10 year old, care bear, dq blizzard and so on. I was bummed that he didn’t do some of my favs like cookie breath, check the ring and geek. I did get to hear geek the last time I saw him though but still have yet to hear the other 2. One of these days he will do them and I will get to hear them… I have to keep faith hehe. Al in all this was an amazing show and I am so glad I went even though I had to go alone poor jimy was home sick with a fever

Here are some pics of mc performing enjoy:

the secret stash store is pretty cool. all the movie memorabilia is awesome.

we bought all our snacks for the log drive home from the quick stop where clerks was filmed. It was pertty surreal. I wanted to get an RST video membership but the store is closed down

Milk maids and guidance counselors FTW

This was an awesome trip and so worth the 9 hour drive.

Jimy came home on Friday and wanted to buy an XBox 360 so we went to the video game store, picked up a used system, bought rock band and played until 4 in the morning. This game is awesome. Even though I can’t sing to save my life I love being the singer for this game. Kirsten played the guitar most the night, I sang, and Jimy played the drums. It was a blast for sure. We played most of the day on Saturday too, just Jimy and I, but got pretty sick of having to play the same songs over and over again for set lists to unlock new content in the band mode. I guess it makes sense that playing in band mode is all about playing sets but I really wish it opened songs for you more often because I think I could sing Dead or Alive with my eyes closed now. Aside from that everything in the game is great especially solo career mode.  Today we went to micro center to buy a router to get the 360 online and while we were there picked up the newest game in my favorite series Katamari. Beautiful Katamari:

If you liked the first 2 Katamari’s: (Katamari Damacy and We <3 Katamari ) Then you need to get this one too. Of course the game is pretty much the same thing as the first 2… you roll around a Katamari and make things for the cosmos (in Beautiful Katamari you are making planets). This time the King created a black hole in the sky causing all the universe to be sucked in while playing tennis with his family and hitting a ball too hard while showing off his skills haha. Good thing Earth survived so we have a planet to roll our Katamari’s on . You have fun new features with the 360 like playing online and battling others in 2 different ways. This time when you are rolling up your Katamari’s there are actually types of items you need to complete your challenge and make the planet which is different than the other 2. I found the one where you need to make your Katamari reach a certain temperature by rolling up hot things to be challenging ad fun. I kept rolling up ice and having to start over. This game is crazy and fun like the others and of course the music is awesome… if you know Katamari you know what I mean.

So I guess we can say that my whole Memorial Day weekend was spent geeking out to video games, I played rock band, Katamari, WoW and Dead Rising… you can’t get much geekier than that. This was a great relaxing weekend, just what I need since next weekend will be jam packed with travel and adventure… New Jersey and Gaslight here I come!!
