Nerdcore Peeps,
Just got back from our screening at the Atlanta Film Festival! The city where all streets start with “Peachtree.” Like Peachtree Road which is not to be confused with Peachtree St.., Peachtree Creek or the more historically violent Peachtree Battle, and, of course, Peachtree Peachtree.
I had a terrific time in Atlanta meeting the nerdcore fans and begging them to buy t-shirts. Thank you for not punching me in the face for my repeated t-shirt pimpage. You are a tolerant and Fruit-of-the-Loom loving people.
But guess who was in the audience? This is cool: The editor and associate editor of the show… AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE!! Isn’t that cool? I told you it was cool! One of them (Lear Bunda) had an animated short in the festival called “Hitler’s Brain.” Lear was way rad and is as animated/ridiculous as his job and name suggest. Fun fact about Lear: he’s been a vegetarian his whole life. Hmm… interesting.
His boss at Aqua Teen, a dude named Jay Wade Edwards, made a feature film called “Stomp! Shout! Scream!” – which he affectionately refers to as a “beach town horror flick.” Does that pique your interest? It piqued mine! The good news is that you can buy a DVD of the movie here. Fun fact about Jay: He thinks breezy beach towns are good filming locations for horrible scary creatures!
Because Lear had to run a really mundane and totally boring errand involving a fax machine, a dot-matrix printer, and an abacus, I got to see the Adult Swim offices. Evidence of my alibi is duly provided with the photograph below. The dot-matrix printer is not available for questioning.
Guess what’s next? THE INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL BOSTON! Tickets are on sale and show times are below. BUT, there’s an interesting twist: MC Frontalot and Prince Paul are recreating the magic in a post-show party Sunday night. How were you able to make this happen, Negin? I hear you ask. We got a sponsor! ITA is making it happen. By day, ITA designs software, by night, they support films like Nerdcore Rising. And bless them for it!
The Front & Prince show sorta coincides with the festival’s closing night party (Sunday April 27) so there are some hurdles to getting in. HOWEVER, I have access to 50, count ‘em FIFTY tickets that will get you in to the party FOR FREE. Those free tickets entitle you to: 1) hang out with me… all right, not enticing, I understand, but what about 2) watch MC Frontalot rap his face off… getting warmer right? and what about 3) dance to Prince Paul has he does his remarkable thing in the DJ booth… of course that will hook you in but it doesn’t stop there because 4) you can eat and drink stuff. Awesome right?
How do you get such a free ticket?
It seems like a convoluted four-part process but I promise it will work. Hopefully.
I’m leaving massive details below along with pictures and a link to a review we got in Nerdlanta.
With Bubbling Informativeness,
