Why Slutfire Exists

(I was going to write a post for this, but I already had to copy and paste this email once to send from different email addresses, so I'll just paste it again here because i'm laaaazzyyyy)

listen, i try to stay away from the shameless self promotion, especially in mass email form, however, it's one of those necessary times. this is the short film, kazoo, that i helped to make two summers ago....it took a little while to edit, but it has finally hit the internetz, so i thought i'd share it with you guys, my friends, for the following reasons...you can choose whichever reason(s) you feel best applies to you personally:

- because you've been asking about when you'll see the final product

- because i respect what you think is funny

- because i think you're neat

- so you know that i didn't just run away to my friend's house in austin to play around all day, mom (this one is really only for my mom)

- i like trying to make you laugh

- because it was written and directed by the brilliant adrienne dawes

umm...that's all i can think of

cts travel report: austin

this weekend, i headed down to austin, T to see these things three (yeah i rhymed. what of it?):

-my former (and now defunct band) play their first and final show

-the screening of an early cut of a short film i was in last summer

-my wife

the first leg of my flight was from JFK to minneapolis. I woke up at 7:30 (after having two more drinks than i said i was gonna have the night before) in order to have enough time to get ready, take the hour and a half subway ride (seven bucks beats fifty any day) and be at the airport about an hour and a half before the flight. Point is, i was tired. so i immediately went to sleep. i was arisen from a possible openmouth slumber (that i always try to play off on the plane but what's the point) by horrid screeching and squawking; the demon sounds of two young girls...laughing. through the course of the three hour flight, into slumber and ripped out again like a fucking dementor was sucking my soul, i gathered enough information to piece together what was going on. believe you me, the first two or three times, i seriously jolted awake like 'whathafuh?!'

The source of hell's banshees was located directly behind me, emanating from twin 8-year old girls watching tom & jerry, a treat that was only reserved for plane journeys. and judging by the pure primal screech laughter coming from those girls, they really looked forward to their plane journeys. this was not the child's laughter that people claim as their favorite sound or noise. it was a laugh that made me want to stick shards of glass in my ears and chew on the spare pieces. and it was constant throughout the entire flight. luckily, the second leg to austin kind of made up for it when i had no seatmate and could move into my little loveseat.

Anyway, the actual slutfire show was amazing and not just in a hilarious way. i want to buy the cd and the tshirt and its not just because i wrote one of the songs and was on the tshirts. a rough cut of kazoo was screened and aside from not being able to stop thinking about how fat i looked in it, i was pleased with the outcome. that same night, there were two other acts on the bill that were also pretty enjoyable.

the rest of the weekend was also a blast, and not just because people kept telling me i was pretty...or because we went to a coffee shop that i immediately noticed was the setting used for the Day Game episode of the pick up artist. there's something about hanging out at houses and driving to and fro in a car (and compliments) that i really look forward to whenever i leave the city. also, the ol' ball and chain really cracks me up. we wrote a couple new lines for some songs to more accurately reflect the state of the world ("whatta man whatta man whatta man whatta mediocre man. Say it again now!") and how top model contestants should really lower their expectations ("Wanna be in a car show? Na na na na na na"). also, this exchange happened:

martinez-dawes: I just want to be as cool as you are.
dawes-martinez: but you ARE as cool as me am.

Slutfire!!!

Hello all you coolfacelets out there. we'd first like to apologize for the lack of posts recently...it has been a very busy time for the coolface employees and hopefully we will be able to get back on track soon. Secondly, there will be no Fall Reality Corner this week, as Top Model was a stupid fucking recap episode. and thirdly, we'd like to take this time to pimp out a Coolface Employee's side project. Coolface Employee Sara was in a short film this summer entitled "Kazoo" and it is finally going through the editing stages.

here is an outtake from the film:
