the shit factory

both literally and figuratively…

exhibit a

exhibit b:
shana (10:00:33 AM): i’m so excited for lost
shana (10:00:41 AM): you need to speeeeeeeed home
shana (10:00:44 AM): like lightning
shana (10:02:21 AM): so fast that you’ll be going backwards
shana (10:02:32 AM): so fast that the wheels will fall off
shana (10:03:05 AM): so fast that cops may chase you because they’ll think you’re up to no good
shana (10:04:32 AM): so fast that the ladies will call you mr. speed

last and the opposite of least, exhibit c:
shanalee (10:49:02 AM): so, i listened to skid row this morning
shanalee (10:49:05 AM): i gave in
shanalee (10:49:26 AM): and what a guilty pleasure it was - furthering my good mood
gorakSH (10:50:49 AM): nice
gorakSH (10:50:59 AM): that’s the cd you wanted
gorakSH (10:51:03 AM): ?
shanalee (10:51:04 AM): yup
gorakSH (10:51:11 AM): ha. slave to the grind?
shanalee (10:51:19 AM): yup
gorakSH (10:51:30 AM): one of the greatest albums ever recorded (seriously)
shanalee (10:53:45 AM): its too bad - b/c although slave to the grind is excellent, i’m thinking skid row would have upped the guilty pleasure quotient…
shanalee (10:53:56 AM): youth gone wild and all
shanalee (10:54:54 AM): plus i’m guess singing i remember you in the car would be really fun

mark your calendars folks, shana’s heading to new orleans for the first weekend of november (11/3-5), and I’ve declared that weekend to be the first annual (or whenever i feel like it) BFF Film Festival. and it’s not limited to my best friends forever, it’s open to everyone because BFF stands for Basement Film Festival (so it’s the basement film festival film festival)

why such a stupid name? well if discount (thanks alan) designer shoe warehouse shoe warehouse can do it, so can i…

so far, the festival will feature the following fine films:

• This Is Spinal Tap (director’s cut)
• Some portion of KISSology volume 1
• The Mothership Connection Live From Houston
• the Moog documentary

please take note of the theme (you figured it out, didn’t you?) and let me know via comments your suggestions (and whether you can supply a copy for the festival. i promise you’ll get it back), and if more than 1 person actually comments (ha! like i have more than one friend) feel free to make fun of others choices also!

the festival will begin friday night, with possibility of pre-festival action on thursday, please submit your entries asap so I can procure any titles missing from my limited collection.

friday night will be metal night, kiss, etc. saturday will be not-metal night. documentaries sunday?

oh, and there will be no schwag bags or paparazzi, so no need to bring your tax accountant or avril lavigne - this ain’t that kind of festival…

pssst. that thing I mentioned in class is here. to use it open the zip (sorry if you have a mac.) and copy the files to your drive somewhere. open the file index.htm. it has a link to install the software and links to all of the files… once you’ve installed, you may have to reboot before clicking on the file opens the application.
