My trip to Pittsburgh

Last week, work sent me for some training to Pittsburgh. The training was located in the soon to be completed WPXI building. They haven't moved in yet, so I can't show the interior. All you get is the exterior shots...

But first, we were asked to use a nearby Holiday Inn that gave a special rate. The place is under remodeling... I recommend they focus on the elevator buttons....

Anyway, we visited a brewery that took over a decommisioned church... The place is called Church Brewery:

I loved how the place looked, but I thought the beer was a little too hoppy for my taste.

We also went over to Penn Brewery, which emulates a German beerhouse quite nicely:

Their beers were quite smooth and the food was excellent as well.

Now for the WPXI building exteriors and how nice the chairs are in the training room.

Downtown is in the background, btw.

We don't have chairs like this in Atlanta....

Finally, the Holiday Inn made some improvements to the elevator switch before I left. Did I forget to mention that I'm on the sixth of seven floors? Guess I have to take the stairs to go up one more floor....

Pittsburgh was pretty cool.

Cheesiest Video Evar

I have to admit, I do love this song. I go for the harmony -- percussion and bass riffs. So, that takes me to songs that stink to eveyone else. Thus, I generally hang with the 80's. Unabashed joy at over the top and cheesey songs/videos.

This video was typical of 80's flicks that had to have a soundtrack. Use the song as the end credit theme, and make a video with scenes of the movie interspiced. But this song.... It takes it to a new level at 1 minute and 16 seconds into the clip.

Enjoy!

Charlotte Weekend
Humeur actuelle :

fatigué

Last Memorial Day weekend, I went up to Charlotte to visit John and Rachel. He had his annual Crawfish Boil, and it was also race weekend.

Friday night, we went to Speed Street. Charlotte turns its downtown into a concert festival for the week preceeding the race. We saw Better Than Ezra. Here is video from my cell phone (hence the not so good video and audio):

Saturday, was the crawfish boil.

Too bad I don't eat that stuff.....

Sunday was Race Day. Had an infield pass and did a garage walk through. Then got on the track and watch the driver's introduction. Oh, Jessica Alba was there to promote her new Fantastic Four movie. Then there was that race thingie.

Here is some footage of the day:

A very good and tiring weekend.

Salma Hayek is preggers. That takes you off the list. Sorry, but these are the rules.

The Top 5 List is now down to 4
Humeur actuelle :

bouleversé

So, there is the Top 5 where you list your personal opinion of the most attractive people.

I currently had Amy Smart, Eliza Dushku, Stacy Keibler, Salma Hayek, Cameron Diaz as my list.

I have to remove Cameron off the list. You just cannot defend this:

Thus, an open call is extended to the hot chicks of Hollywood. Please send me your head shots and a quick sentence why you should make the list.

Further, I have rearranged the order of the remaining four. It will now be Eliza Dushku, Salma Heyek, Stacy Keibler, and Amy Smart.

Of course, I will release a press release on this disturbing turn of events.

I wish to be viral....
Humeur actuelle :

méditatif

I want to be famous.

Other than going on a crime spree, you had to travel to Hollywood, sell your soul and/or body and hopefully make it. Get famous. Get rich. Do drugs. OD and die.

Good times.

But thats a lot of work.

Then reality TV came in. At first the road to reality fame was to wear a wife beater, get drunk, beat your wife, call the cops, and get on Cops. But, that fame only lasted until the next segment with some other drunken wife beater.

Then came along Survivor and Big Brother. The first few seasons made every contest a household name. But show after show, season after season, you become a blur in the ever growing universe of reality show stars. To rise above the dreak, you really had to lie, cheat, and steal on camera. On top of that, with some many people auditioning for these shows, you might as well go back to the Hollywood route. At least you can get a spot on a Sunkist commercial or TV show. Thats gotta be better than being in a Rob Schneider
movie.

So, what to do? How can you gain fame without much work? Without selling yourself?

Viral Videos.

Gary Brolsma. Ghyslain Raza. Brian Collins. Wei Wei and Huang Yi Xin.

Who are they?

You know them better as the Numa Numa Dancer, Star Wars Kid, Boom Goes the Dynamite Sportscaster, and the Chinese Back Dormitory Boys.

Thanks to the power of the Google Video and You Tube these individuals bypassed the carefully constructed world of the Hollywood Fame Machine.

I should do a viral video and get famous. Plus nobody can delete all those copies of the video, so the moment of fame lasts for eternity.

I noticed that all viral videos have the common nature making a total fool of somebody in a new unique way.

So, what is the concept that allows me to be humiliated in under three minutes?

As I sit here and ponder what will be the idea, I started to drink (just to speed up the brainstorming process). By the end of the night, either Ill have a video idea, or get so wasted that the police have to show up.

Then I can appear on Cops.

Its a start...
