Level 27: Pirate/Horror Fest Recap

General Crapola 4 Comments »

Yeah, I didn’t pay much attention to the bands. I mean, I saw Justin’s band Spektra play. You all should remember Justin Emord, that hot guitarist I was gushing about a few weeks back. Well I got to meet him last night! His belt raped my hand. There’s a bruise there now too haha.

Anyway, I had loads of fun. No one really dressed up much, but it didn’t matter. The real fun to me was hanging out in the hallway with cool people. There weren’t many people there at all, really. But hey, we all contracted AIDs from the AIDs Wall. And impregnated each other with our fingers. Yes, there are stories to these inside jokes.

Anyway, it was in a pretty ghetto neighborhood haha. And we got there like, and hour and a half early so we wandered down Burbank to McDonald’s and chilled there for a bit, fixing our make up. The dude who drove, my friend Jessica’s friend Andy, was actually warded against by some Catholic dude. TWICE.

Jessica, my sexy asian mistress at Starbucks on Hollywood Blvd.

Me, all glossied up in McDonald’s.

So after a while we walked back to CIA, the club where the event was taking place. And waited around for an hour and a half before they let us in. Ugh. I saw Justin arrive, but didn’t approach him. Haha, go figure I was too nervous and shy. Not because he’s so hot or anything [even though he is] but because I’m always nervous meeting people for the first time.

So we finally get in and they’re playing Pirates of the Caribbean 3 in this little waiting area before the bands start playing. So we sit and watch. And wait. And keep waiting. And people start streaming in slowly. AND FINALLY WE CAN GO IN! YAY!

And Justin’s band is without a singer. Haha, yeah I don’t know what happened but their singer never showed for some reason. But hey, they played their set anyway and they sounded pretty damn good. I only got one picture because the lighting was killing me and I didn’t feel like wandering around the empty floor to get good pictures. Honestly, there weren’t many people there.

Spektra, minus a singer.

Afterward we were all hanging out in a hallway playing pirate themed games and such. D’you think you could win a game where you had to color in a picture with as many colors as possible, avoiding going outside the lines, all in 27 seconds? I didn’t think so.

Anyway, one of the girls I was with, Heather, got pushed against the wall and said something about getting AIDs from it. And Justin overheard and slowly stepped forward away from the wall. At which point my mistress Jessica chimed in with, “Your shirt has AIDs!!” And behold! We all eventually leaned against that wall and got AIDs from it. As well as began biting, poking, tickling, and otherwise touching each other in various places. And I stole Justin’s hat.

Wearing Justin’s hat and getting AIDs from the AIDs Wall.

And for reasons I’ve now forgotten, I did some spanking motion. Which I probably shouldn’t have done, ’cause Justin and his friend started grabbing me and trying to turn me around. I assume to spank me, but I got away before they could. Damn Rocky Horror guys, never trust ‘em. I have some lyrics that’d suit ‘em. “I should be committed for being so twisted.” Courtesy of Motley Crue. Yeah, that fits ‘em.

Not too much else happened. Justin figured out he knew me from teh interwebz and gave me a hug [squee moment haha] and we all just hung out and such, being silly and all.

So now I’m really tired from wandering around Hollywood all day in a corset. Which I didn’t get to take off until I got home, at around 1:30am. My ribs are bruised.

Interview: Justin Emord

General Crapola 7 Comments »

Well, as promised I have my very first interview! With Justin Emord, that hot guitarist from LA. That should be his tag line or something. It probably will be eventually. Pardon the Motley Crue reference, but he really does have the looks that kill.

I’d kill to get a look… Don’t tell him I said that…

Shit, he can read it… Oh well, lol.

Well, I seriously fail at coming up with questions. I had a few and lost them, thought of a few but not enough… So these questions went on over the space of like, two or three days.

Alright, when did you first seriously get into music?

“Well I started playing piano in fourth grade so about 11 years ago I started. Three years ago is when I actually started taking it very seriously and getting involved in the industry.”

We already knew he had to be good with his hands to play guitar… But piano too? Nice. ;D

Would that be when you realized you wanted to be a serious musician?

“Yeah I’d say so. I’d say four or five years ago it was in the back of my head that it was something I wanted to do but it was three years ago when I started writing music and recording it, that it didn’t seem as much of a far fetched dream and more of a hard earned reality to work towards.”

What album had the most profound effect on you?

“Well I’d say the Ozzy Tribute Album that came out after the passing of Randy Rhoads. I was amazed by the way Randy played guitar. The one song that really got me on the track I’m on now would be Nothin’ But a Good Time from Poison. I saw that video on VH1 Classic four years ago and at the time I hadn’t really seen hair metal bands. I was a kid of the 90s so rock music for me was Smash Mouth and Sugar Ray. Pretty average looking guys playing pretty average music. And then I saw that video from Poison and just sat in front of the TV looking at it just thinking to myself, “what is this and why have I not seen this before?” From the moment I saw the “waiter” in the video kick the door open and I saw Bret and CC until the very end with the confetti falling on the stage it was very overwhelming for a kid in 9th grade to see for the first time. All the big hair and makeup, flamboyant guitars in both the shape and color, and mostly the energy they gave off in the video. I was quite taken aback.”

And you loved it?

“My mouth dropped and I knew from that moment there was no turning back to the top 40 radio. From that moment on it was all classic rock and this new music I found called “glam rock”.”

Who would you consider your idol?

“I would say after going through and listening to so many glam bands, as cliché as it will sound, I would have to go with Eddie Van Halen.”

Why is that?

“I just really respect a musician that does not compromise anything. I mean the guy couldn’t find what he wanted in a store bought guitar so he ended up making his own guitars to get everything right. That is until Kramer nabbed him and started making the guitars for him. A lot of people when they think about Eddie they think about his finger tapping technique or striped guitars, but there is so much more to him than that. He knew what he wanted in his gear and he did it himself. He modified his amps, built his guitars from spare parts, and with what few effects he used he modified the circuitry to them too. You don’t see that nowadays. Now musicians will mostly just use whatever they get from Guitar Center and make it work for them, but Eddie refused to compromise ‘cause he couldn’t buy something the way he wanted it to be. So I would definitely say Eddie or Randy Rhoads would be my hero.”

Why did you want to learn guitar?

“I thought it was a really neat instrument and it seemed natural to go from piano to guitar.”

How did you learn to play?

“I took lessons from my middle school music teacher for a few weeks before this kid Ben, who was the school’s really talented guitar player, took me under his wing and taught me.”

Now, Justin’s logo is a star and the number 16. See?

What is the significance of the star and the number 16?

“My First girlfriend, Kim, back in 2003 was killed by a drunk driver a week before I turned 16. Also, she got me into wearing stars and nautical stars as a fashion statement. She is why the focus of my logo is the star. Second, my father passed away 6 months later on April 16, 2004 when I was 16. On a lighter note, Minarik Guitars was my first sponsor and I received the Inferno Mirrorball from them and it was Serial number 16. A few months later, I purchased a Lotus from them. My eye was on 2 but they had sold it before I could get it so the next lowest one they were able to get me was again, lucky number 16. All these events in my past have formed me into who I am. That is why it is my logo and also why I have it tattooed on my arm.”

My birthday is on the 16th of May… Think that might raise my chances with him? ;)

What’s your favorite band?

“Probably Motley Crue. They have great stage presence and musical ability. Not to mention they put on one hell of a show.”

Motley Crue is my all-time favorite band… I wonder if he’ll agree to marry me?

Here’s another cliche question… Favorite song?

“Oh wow I’m not sure I can pick one.”

Alright, let’s narrow it down. How about favorite song by the Crue?

“Motley Crue it would have to be Live Wire or On With the Show.”

Two good picks… I think I’m in love…

Alright, who would you say is the most influential person in your life?

“I’d say musically it would have to be the Trans Siberian Orchestra. I saw them at Madison Square Garden and it inspired me immensely. They are all class act musicians.”

Where do you see yourself in five years?

“Five years, I will have graduated college and hopefully be touring the nation or the world with a band.”

Do you ever have any doubts about making it big?

“Nah. When it comes to dreams you gotta have the highest hopes with the most reasonable expectations. That is the perfect dream right there.”

There ya have it, the wonderfully talented Justin Emord. :) So, if you have any questions you’d like to ask him either leave it in a comment and I’ll pass it along, or hit him up on myspace!

Weekend Review: DaveDiego

Uhm. It was fun.

Haha, I don’t even know where to start. I’m feeling lazy right now. There was nipple rubbing with Jester and Dave, zombies, alcohol, boobs, and the passing around of pictures of cute guys on my cell phone. Some singing along to Hit Me Baby One More Time, some dancing in seats, some spanking.

You know, the usual.

Oooh, and I had large, hand-packed balls for dinner. They were a bit spicy. Who ever heard of meatballs with jalapenos in ‘em?

Hmm, let’s see… Jester and Uncle Monkey Boy were adorable together. And they’d both turn anxiously to see when I oooh-ed over a cute guy passing by. I love gay guys, seriously. So much more fun than girls.

I got caught like a deer in headlights in more than one picture. It’s sort of odd being the youngest one there. Actually, it sucks because that means I CAN’T DRINK. LAAAME.

Anyway, we all split up a bit after a while and me, my mom, snackiepoo, Jester, Uncle Monkey Boy, othurme, and Karl all went to this art show. Jester and Karl got some colorful art done in their hair, while I was given a beehive decorated with fake pink hair. How wonderful. But my talented self managed to get it untangled and back to its sleek-ness in the car with my amazing[ly expensive] hairbrush.

And the next day, me’n my mom headed over to snackiepoo’s house to hang with her, Jester, Uncle Monkey Boy, Karl, and othurme again. We had giant pizzas covered in cheese and meat and alcohol and fun times. Uncle Monkey Boy provoked snackiepoo’s cat into attacking his feet, which was relatively amusing.

And we got our very own live gay porno, complete with spanking and lost jewelry! …Alright, so we just wish it was a porno. Jester and Uncle Monkey Boy were fooling around. BY THE ALCOHOL! What if they’d knocked it over?! That’d be such a waste… But yes, UMB lost an earring, which I found for him on snackiepoo’s carpet. And we all sat down for some Rockband action, with snackiepoo singing, me on guitar, othurme on bass, and a switchoff of Jester and UMB on drums.

It’s interesting when you’ve got nearly everyone in the room singing along to the song.

And so ended a fun-filled weekend. Not a very good recap, but I’m lazy. Toodles!

Oh, and be sure to stop by again soon, I’ll have an interview up with Justin Emord soon! Once I’ve got enough damn questions the ask him… Speaking of, if you have any questions you’d like to ask him please leave ‘em in a comment!

Alright, so I’ve been on this site myyearbook.com for… a few weeks now. It’s this social networking site, it’s actually really fucking addictive, lol.

Anyway, one of the guys I came across is Justin Emord. He’s a guitarist living in Los Angeles. Part of the reason I added him was because of his musical tastes [and he's freaking hot.] HE LIKES 80s HAIR METAL. FUCK YEAH. Like, that whole scene is what influences his music. I listened to some of the music he has up, and damn! He’s good. And he seems like a good person, too.

So, this is my little attempt to promote him a bit. Hey, every little bit, right? Besides, I was thinking of doing something like this with the local bands around here. I know plenty of good bands, so I could always do some little thing on ‘em.

Anyway, check him out. Justin Emord on Myspace

Perhaps I’ll interview him… Hmm… It’d give me something new to do.
