Sorg and Big Daddy Shit have a booth at Con on the Cob in Hudson, OH. We are joined by Chachi and emcee lb, and plenty of other guests we run into! Plus: Zombies and the truffle shuffle!
It's a day removed from COTC, and there's plenty to check out. Interestingly, Chachi called the night before from his hotel, down the turnpike. He decided to book Jeff and him something cheaper instead since they were only there for a night. They ended up in what was described as being from a horror movie.
We were greated by Dr. Espling making an appearance with family in tow. One of the most exciting of his gifts, a Wrestling Mayhem Show banner! Be sure that we are goingn to take that whereever we go from now on!
So we got up and decided to check out early from our own, non cockroach hotel room, and got geared up for our Introduction to Podcasting seminar at a very early 11 AM. It became interesting with Chachi and Jeff joining in the audience. They left the Rock Band setup, and we somehow obtained a baby shoe...and most got thrown at Chachi by Will. We did our best to be informative, in our own way, and you can check out that seminar for yourself...
Then, we were gearing up for some Nerdz Eatin Shroomz AKA Really Pale Gangsters (RPG) aka Superfriends? Chachi and Will (8-bit and emcee lb) had a better set, and really did well to cover up their inexperience with eachother in this makeshift group. Althogh, I'm certain they are ready to kill eachother mid set. And that would have been a hell of a vid. But they seemed to get a good response once again, regardless. This time, their set got on the Awful Show Music Page like the CRAP set did the night before...
So there were several hours before the CRAP set, and we had plenty of time, so we went o grab some grub and left Will and Chachi at the booth. Upon our return, there was a sign for "Free Conversations" and they told us we were relieved of booth duties for the day. Fine by me. So we broke out the recorder, and recorded some CRAPCast. Somewhere along the lines, Chachi ended up doing the "Truffle Shuffle". I'm sure the Youtube link will follow in the coming days...
We went back to the Music Room and posted up to try to see some more music. There was an interesting mix of "comedy musicians" from TheFump.com. Mostly parody kind of stuff. I was lucky enough to get involved with a short set of the Awful Show's Screw Your Neighbor Live, as well.
But we did get a chance to meet the guys from Positive Attitude. We got to see their set at 7, at least as much as I could before taking off for tear down, and it was pretty damn good. They were more to the hip hop side of things, and performed with a video screen that added a lot to the act. Definitly check these guys out. We sat through an abbreviated session of MST3K style Star Wars Holiday Special. Thank goodness, because that thing was unbearable. And that mix of the redneck and...whatever accent fellas doing the commentary was great!
Dual Core canceled their last performance at 9, which disappointed me, since that was one group I knew was up my alley, but I got a chance to check out their video, (and Sudden Death's) at that Awful Show Music page from before. Worm Quartet, which is really one guy, was next up, after some guy did some more parody songs to fill in for the cancel. He was more along the Weird Al line of things, from what I saw. We were up next and did the CRAP thing. There were some technical difficulties because something was missing after the last act took off, delaying our set. But we rocked it. There will be some footage of that later on.
But we took off shortly after, since we had a long drive, and I was craving some good Sheetz. So the Con on the Cob came and went. I'm not sure what to think of it all. It wasn't what I expected, in any manner, but wasn't all bad. Maybe I'll do more analysis on the weekend later on. But it was great to meet up with some new people. Positive Attitude was cool, the zombies from Zombie Buddy next to us were awesome all weekend, and it was good to meet Tha Mike and Keyz, although briefly, of the Awful Show that passes so much time for me each week. Who knows, maybe you'll see me out there next year for a day.
What's up guys. Just wanted to put in an update from the Con this weekend. You guys can check out the latest on my Brightkite feed (pictures) and Twitter feed (text).
We got hear pretty easily Thursday and setup our booth. There were only a few hours open to the public, so Missfit, Will, Silent Ninja and myself got a lot of time to scope out the area. Then Will and I did the "Evolution of a Podcast" Seminar, to interesting results. If this is any preview of how our Podcamp Pittsburgh 3 seminar is going to go...
After wrapping up the seminar and exhibit hall for the night, we grabbed a bite and, interestingly, watched the VP presidential debate replay. That just served to anger, really.
The Silent Ninja may be getting the most out of this Con. It's his first of any kind, and the Con on the Cob is especially a gaming Con. So he has been attending a few seminars on character and world design that should help him out in his studies in gaming at the Art Institute. He also bought a sword. Yes. As if he wasn't dangerous enough, he now has a weapon.
We have made some new friends in our booth mates, as the zombies next door are from Robinson Twp. not too far from us. They have a casket full of t-shirts and an interesting zombie based LARP (Live Action Role Play). It's been a good time with them. Check out their stuff at Zombie Buddy Productions.
Chachi and Jeff got here early afternoon and prepped for our sets. Due to some cancellations, Chachi and Will got on stage with a quickly reconfigured set. It was a bit awkward, but the crowd gave them a lot of love, and Chachi fucking killed it on his new "Clubbin'" track. Eventually, CRAP got on stage about 6 PM. I got to say high to Keyz from the Awful Show, a show I've listened to for well over a year now. I deinitly want to catch Screw Your Neighbor tomorrow, since I missed it today. But we got up there and did the CRAP thing. The show was weird because it's a stage at the bottom of a tiered mini auditorium. The crowd is sitting. But we delivered the usual high energy regardless. We have some video that will be posted eventually (and playing at our booth tomorrow), but here's another angle of the show thanks to Keyz right here at the Awful Show Con Video site.
So two days down, some interesting people met, and so much more to go...
This week, as we sit here at the Con on the Cob, and the Silent Ninja appears and dissapears at will as he wanders off to some gaming sessions, I thought it was appropriate to revisit the origin of the Silent Ninja....
This was filmed during Bootcamp Pittsburgh in April 2007
This was the result of waiting for a parking meter to roll over. And a legacy was born
Now the Silent Ninja imposes on guests of the Wrestling Mayhem Show...
I remember staying up late for Saturday Night Main Event with my dad I remember Orndorff and Hogan in the big blue cage I remember the photo finish tie I remember that "everyone had a price" I remember Roddy Piper's gift on the mic I remember Jesse Ventura and Gorilla Monsoon calling some great moments I remember all of the wrestling videos at the Video Shelf I remember the Big Event and the Most Unusual Matches I remember Brutus Beefcake's cool pants I remember Honkey Tonk and Greg "The Hammer" having a single I never heard of I remember the Mega Powers exploding I remember No Holds Barred being awesome? I remember Ultimate Warrior beating the immortal Hogan I remember Sgt. Slaughter turning on his country I remember someone being called the "Real" World Champion by Bobby Heenan I hadn't heard of yet. I remember being so mad Ric Flair won the Rumble and the title I remember the Flair/Savage "scandal" with Elizabeth's pictures I remember knowing all of the words to "I'm a Real American" I remember falling out of wrestling because I didn't have cable
The crew is joined by the Big Daddy of Destruction, J-Rocc, to discuss his recent controversy surrounding the Jake "The Snake" Roberts incident that has been all over the internet. Then we get a little more formal when Stoke Monkey goes head to head with Sorgatron '08 himself, and we hit all of the fan mail and hear from the Macho Man on his VP run.
Michael Sorg is a video editor by day, Podcast Producer, Rapper, aspiring pro wrestler, and Web Designer by night (long nights). Enjoy his not as witty ramblings as he figures out life along with the rest of us...
achi at the booth. Upon our return, there was a sign for "Free Conversations" and they told us we were relieved of booth duties for the day. Fine by me. So we broke out the recorder, and recorded some CRAPCast. Somewhere along the lines, Chachi ended up doing the "Truffle Shuffle". I'm sure the Youtube link will follow in the coming days...
