Some good friends of mine decided to unleash a necessary coolness that the web truly needs. The product they are putting out is not just meant to be watched and enjoyed...it's meant to be absorbed. This is a level of cool that you stick with, and just hope that it sticks to you. Trust me, you need this.

Save the Bottle Rocket Motel...All in and proud of it.

So there are times in my life where I have to say to myself..."I am going to let this affect me"...pertaining to the consumption of art of somekind. I do this before in most cases. The Save the Bottle Rocket Motel event was one of those times. I was in pretty early, as on one night while doing my pre-Jimmie Fallon web-surfing, I stumbled across Andy Carl Valentin and Chris Durbin's website www.reservoirgeeks.com - I followed the link to the FaceBook page and I was a believer. In my mind I am telling myself to keep this short because of my lack of self-regulative writing, so I will be brief. This event was one of the most fun nights of my life. I felt the genuine nature of Andy and Chris right away. Every time I looked at them they seemed to be as "in wonder of the awesomeness" as I was. I saw Bottle Rocket by myself in a theater in Washington D.C. in 1996. Since then I have seen every Wes Anderson movie on opening night, period. All of his characters speak to me and the difficulties I face as a human first and a man second. The event was such an organic hybrid of being human and ingesting artistic impression, that I was almost more excited for the post event mental deconstruction. When going over it with my girlfriend, I likened it to a land and culture that existed for a moment in time, an oasis of cool, a village that was built in one night, for one night. In the end...it was less about the event and more about us...and that's the Bottle Rocket way. I will write less emotionally another time. Thanks Andy and Chris.
