REGRBLog: November 2008

Halloween '08

Hey friends! This is primarily going to be a picture post (you're welcome). It's been almost two weeks since Halloween, and RGB has been doing a great deal of drinking recently (see previous post). Memories are mostly erased.

We had a Batman theme going on this year, since a good friend of ours had a Batman themed birthday party. As the saying goes: two birds, one stone. I went as The Scarecrow (Nolan version), while Red and Green went as the 60's versions of Robin and The Riddler, respectively. It was too late when I realized my costume would be way creepier than my fun-loving buddies'. Damn! We met at The Metro before heading off into Georgetown. No DD needed!

Behold, the power of the sidekick! Perfect for fighting the more common plagues of mankind. Also, how awesome is it that we're masked? No need to superimpose RGB heads!

Fun shot in an empty car.
Quite a few people joined us at the next stop.
They were scared to sit next to Red.
What's wrong with a dude in pantyhose?

Roaming the streets of Georgetown:

From our first bar:

Sorry for the blur, but they look awesome as thumbs!
Pay no attention to The Diddler.

Some shots of me at the second bar, and one I took at home:

Does my shot with The Penguin help uncreep this set?
Didn't think so :(
That last photo is a recreation of a scene on the special
features section of Batman Begins! *geeksnort*

A very lucky shot of us before the Metro ride home:

That's all, folks! Hope you enjoyed them.

so partied with some really great people.
found something on my computer.
a notepad file on my desktop.
thought I should share with the internet...

HOW TO FIND YOUR KEYS.TXT:

YOUR KEYS ARE HIDDEN IN THE POTTED PLANT IN THE FOYER.
THE ONE NEXT TO THAT THING... WHERE YOU HANG COATS AND SHIT.
THERE ARE BLANKETS INSIDE OF IT.
I AM INSIDE OF YOU.
YOUR KEYS ARE INSIDE ME.
NO, NO... THEY'RE IN THE POTTED PLANT. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE, BITCH.

... thanks blue, you make me smile... in my pants

~Red

To clarify things, Red was trying to drive out to 7-11 to pick up some cigarettes, after consuming a decent amount of alcohol. We had a lot of fun hiding his stuff. We started with his wallet, but he ended up stealing mine, so I hid his keys and typed that up in case I forgot where I hid them (I had also been drinking, if you couldn't tell).

Polysics!!!!

Last Thursday, Team RGB and Cup went to go see Polysics at Black Cat over in D.C. As soon as we enter, we see Chen, Eric, and another friend, Terro. Shame on the rest of you for not coming! You missed a damn good show!

The opening acts were great. Green and I really liked Black Gold, the first act. The drummer had a really cool look and energy. The lead singer/keyboardist occasionally performs as Panic at the Disco’s keyboardist, but Black Gold is his official band. Next up was Jaguar Love. They were a high-energy Indie/Rock band. Unfortunately, the crowd was not feeling them. I liked them, but it was a little apparent that they were not really into the show. Their guitarist kicked ass, and the lead singer had a pretty unique voice.

And finally, out came Polysics! They came out to set up their own instruments. I caught myself thinking “well… this is a little anticlimactic. They killed their dramatic entrance.” I was worried the show was going to be weak.

Holy shit was I worried over nothing.

They had an AMAZING show. I really wasn’t expecting it to be so fun, but the crowd was flipping out. Hiroyuki really knew how to get them pumped. Engrish’ll do that. Hiroyuki was crazy. The crowd was crazy. Fumi (bass) and Masashi (drums) were crazy. Kayo (synth) was a robot. I love her.

Unfortunately, the camera we brought died before we could take a lot of pictures.

Luckily, our new friend, Keang, sent us these:

Fumi rocking out and singing

Hiroyuki jumping around stage with a shot of Masashi in the back

As you can probably tell, we were right at the front of the stage. We partially have the mosh pit to thank for that. Who the hell would have expected a mosh pit at a Polysics show?! Someone even threw Green into the air and he crowd-surfed for a good bit.

Otsukare!

When the show ended, and the crowd left, I went to go buy a shirt and stickers for the band to sign. Hell yes I'm gonna get their signatures! Even came prepared with a sharpee. Check the previous post. What's with asians and their ability to draw cute shit? Can everyone do this?!

Keang had to leave the show early, so we don't have any pictures of RGB actually with Polysics... but we've got the signatures to prove it. Green got everyone to sign his tie, and Masashi even signed a broken drumstick that Hiroyuki gave to the crowd.
