Another day at STIFF

Well howdy.

Just wanted to give you all an update about what you missed last night at the Rendezvous.

Fist off, there was a block of shorts.

An experimental stop motion thingy called "Soul Collector". It was pretty darn good. Some chick getting recruited to fight for the army of god. Which i guess is a good gig if you can get it.

"The Glove" was a short that had a ton nerdy side jokes about video games and computers. They get bonus points, however, for using what looked like to me the nintendo power glove.

"Quicksand and Carpet" was a music video for a band called New Radiant Storm King. The premise of the video had newspaper headlines zooming all over the screen through a.....micro thingy...(?) (you know).....(those things at the library)......(hell). It was really cool, good effects and nice pacing. My thumb is pointing up.

"Ein Blue Ribbon"......about PBR. The beer. And also about some mafia type bad guys, and another bad guy and a girl. And a car. Pretty good.

"Black Daisy" were just about the funniest thing i've seen. In a long time. Really. If you've never heard of them that's too bad. If you looked hard you might be able to find some info on them somewhere. I guess they're going to be playing at Chop Suey on July 9th. If i were you i might try to be there.

After the shorts, a feature doc called "The Briefs" about...well, the band The Briefs. Very well done and very funny. Evidently, this was a rough cut but i couldn't tell. Look for it in very big relase later this year. (Even at Hot Topic....unless he was telling a joke.....in which case, i'm an ass).

i guess that's about it.

Maybe i'll see some of you guys at the Rendezvous this week!
