We’re Off To See The Wizards…

Chocolate Snowflake and I decided to catch the Washington Bullets Wizards since we were spending the weekend in D.C. The game tonight will be against the Oklahoma City Thunder, formerly the Who Gives A Fuck from West Bubblefucks. Why the hell are the cheapest tickets priced @ $53.00?!?

That is for the rooftop section 421.

I can’t believe that one of the worst teams in the league is charging folks over a buck to come inside of their stinky gym. Shout out to Nerditry who sent me a link to copp Nets tickets on some Bolt Bus type $1 pricing plans. I’m gonna pay more money to get on the subway than I am to get into the Continental Airlines arena. Sure the Nets suck wild ass, but when are you gonna get to watch what is left of Vinsanity for less than the price of a candybar?

I suppose I should be happy that the Wizards tickets are only costing me $106.00 for C.S. and I. These jokers are fleecing some folks with their AAU brand b-ball. Here are the other ticket prices available…

$2,500.00
$932.00
$475.00
$360.00
$310.00
$252.00
$200.00
$125.00
$99.00
$53.00
$45.00!!!

Where are the tickets for $45.00?

PrA’li outside of the arena.

DISNEY SYNERGY FAIL

The Walt Disney Company has more money than anybody on the planet. While all kinds of people are crying about the recession Walt Disney Co. is printing money from their Florida cult compound. The reason why these people stay so paid is that they market their products so efficiently most of us don’t even recognize that we are being sold shit, and then as soon as we spot the sales pitch we can’t help but consume because what they are selling is so effin’ cute.

When Chocolate Snowflake told me about the Bolt Bus after I proposed a weekend getaway to Philadelphia (yeah I know, ha!) I thought for sure this was Disney spending some cheddar to drum up the excitement for their latest animated blockbuster ‘Bolt’. I think this is the story of some dog who crisscrosses the country on Greyhound buses while trying to rescue Miley Cyrus. How else could a company stay in business charging people $1 to ride a bus from NYC to Washington D.C.? If the Chinese can’t do it nobody can.

I gave Walt Disney Co. too much credit though. It turns out that the Bolt Bus is a product of the surging gas prices that have put a crimp in the driving habits of most Americans. For an average fare of $18 you can travel up and down the Interstate 95 corridor from Washington D.C. to Boston. The best part of the Bolt Bus in my mind is the wireless service that each bus is equipped with. The bathrooms are even quite “deuce ready”. Lucky Star and Fung Wah need to eat their fortune cookie hearts out.

I’m not sure for how much longer the Bolt Bus will be able to make these runs with this level of service. Now that gas prices are returning to this stratosphere most commuters will return to their own wheels. Because the Bolt Bus requires that you purchase your tickets online instead of using a wad of folded up cash singles this excludes the masses of poor people, retards and terrorists that travel on the Chinatown buses. Catering to a higher echelon clientele isn’t what made the Walt Disney Company richer than God and it won’t help Bolt Bus stay in the black. So before my coach turns back into a pumpkin I’m taking a crap in this clean ass bathroom.

Fixing A Flat On The Road To Stardom…

bodega

Trust me when I tell you that you dudes don’t miss i.C. movies as much as we do. I plan to attack the iNternets Celebrities site with a renewed vigor as soon as I get back to NYC. All this other shit I have been doing is fun, but I really believe the i.C.’s can make the world a better place.

There have been a lot of folks showing us love and prodding us to get back to doing what we love to do. Allow me to take a minute to acknowledge some folks that stay in our corner.

KHAL @ RockThe Dub supports DP and i.C. all day every day. Give him a shout. There’s is no one on the internets that will respond to an e-mail faster than Khal.

MHB @ Desedo Films always sends me the fresh links to opportunities in the advertising game. “One of the days, one of these days…” – Ralph Kramden

Rooftop Films @ IFC.com has been real supportive of the i.C. movement by showing our films to their audiences during all kinds of different screenings. They find a way to get us into their programming.

And all of the iNternets Celebrities producers that have put their monies where OUR mouths are. You folks believe in our expressions in a very real way especially when we have an economy that is so…

Y’all already know.

Stay tuned in to the movement. We will pick up the pace in a few and get some new joints up on the YouTubes. In the meantime and in between time why don’t you take a look at a few of my i.C. related projects.

Rooftop Films interviews DP @ IFC.com

During the summer I attended a conference called InterestingNY where a few geeked out folks delivered small sermons about who they were and the shit they knew some shit about. I decided to speak about the bodega. Hilarity ensued. I also used the podium as a chance to kick some real shit to the congregation. They have a video of me speaking. Here it is if you feel like watching. Peace.
