Something Shiny

Some time ago I was lamenting that The Aquabats were throwing together a tour but it looked to be during the winter and no one comes to Minneapolis in the winter. Well, looks like we (me, anyway) are in luck. The tour is stretching into the spring when it’s officially safe to tour in MN (unless we get our annual March super storm, shhhh).

Anywho, they’ll be at the Triple-Rock on 3/13, tickets go on sale 2/12.

This looks pretty cool, and at least a little bit dangerous. Whenever I see anything like this, I assume a children of the corn, or lord of the flies scenario has just played out. Presumably if there were adults around they would have at least sucked the fun out of the project if not killed it altogether.

So, either this is an old picture, or there’s some magical place in the world where parents don’t freak out about everything their kids do.

I suppose it’s possible it did happen here in the U.S. recently and parents were too busy watching Survivor?

Anyway, whatever loophole allowed this to happen, congratulations kids, looks like a heck of a lot of fun.

Although I’m not a huge fan of the design of this t-shirt, I do very much agree with the sentiment. I’ll even admit I could use a sip from the fountain of smart from time to time, particularly on a Monday morning.

This falls soundly into the almost-certainly-lame-but-there’s-that-teeny-tiny-chance-it’s-brilliant category. Hey, at least it’s not another sequel.

For those unfamiliar with Slacker Radio, it’s similar to Pandora but with a larger library including some comedy stations, oh yeah, and it has stations (pre-configured genre-based streams that are still configurable via your likes/dislikes).

If you’re a Slacker Radio fan with a WebOS device, check it out. Both of you.

Seriously, what’s next? Crappy digital cameras? Perhaps some sort of snack mix? What happened to you Sketchers? You used to be cool. Ok, maybe you were never cool, but you weren’t quite this lame.
