Geek Weekend

Insight into a Geek's Weekend:

1. Go to the movie rental store and rent some movies
2. Watch them
3. Only partially enjoy two of them
4. Watch the third even though it's awful
5. Decide it would be way cool to make a video about watching bad movies (you know, the whole world cares and if we upload it to YouTube then everyone will see how totally ungeekified we are)
   

Mystic Paper Beasts Theatre Company

We just got word that Dan Potter and Marya Ursin have put up a new web site for the Beasts! It is chock full of pictures and information, and is well worth a visit.

Marya and Bill go way back to ancient times at Swarthmore College when theatre and dance played second fiddle to more traditional academic studies. Pictured above with the late Addison W. Lee IV in front of the infamous Kitchen Mural (a site for naked Super 8 film shoots), with others they pioneered the way for the performing arts, or at least had some fun.

Rene's Birthday!

Yesterday Rene and Oksana threw a party down by Norfork Lake to celebrate Rene's birthday. There was food and drink and children and adults, and music all around. In this clip Misty holds Rene and Oksana's son Alex as they played. Rene did renditions of "Gloria" and "House of the Rising Sun" and Oksana reviewed both the classic and folk traditions of Europe. The movable feast went from Pavilion One down to the Swimming Area, and a grand time was had by all!

Questions?

We love to ask questions, even stupid questions! In this video clip Misty fools Bill by handing him a camera that is already recording, and what he sees does not make sense, so he asks questions. If a question does not make sense, it makes sense to ask questions. Check it out!

Top o' the Ozarks

It happened in Arkansas, The Natural State,
On a regular Sunday, a Hillbilly Date.
Off they went to have some great fun,
A Scary Old Man and the Beautiful One.
They needed adventure and something new,
To The Top o' the Ozarks to see a fine view.
A Dam, A River, A Lake, Land galore,
They spun in circles 'til they could see no more.
Alas, it was time to return to the Earth,
For eleven dollars they got great worth.

Reminder: Signed and Numbered Art Prints

We ran across this video that reminded us that almost nobody from our Geek Dinner has come by the Office on the Corner on the Square to pick up the prints. In this post, Hugh states the truth:

If your wine is not outstanding [for the price point it occupies], you’re dead meat. It's just as hard to sell a $10 bottle of wine as it is to sell a $100 botle of wine. At least if you want to make any money, it is.

And in this video Jason makes the same point, almost word for word. At the Arkansas Geek Dinner we voted on the best wine, and Stormhoek placed 3rd, not outstanding at all. So pick up your prints or the puppy gets it!
