Cal Marching Band Video Game Show….

What this marching show lacks in “BU scatter”, it makes up for in Pokemon and a sweet finale.

I can’t imagine how hard it is to make some of those formations. The precision required is kind of hard to pull off. I always fucked up the ambiguous amoebas my band made. I could never be trusted with making a Tetris shape.

In the spirit of the impending holidays…

I’m sure everyone got that “WTF” present as a kid during the holidays from some crazy great-aunt or elder family friend who clearly was not in touch with the wants and needs of the younger generation. That was my whole family.

Someone once gave my brother the movie “Billy Elliot” as a Christmas present when we were younger. I think he was 8 or 9. A Barbie doll would’ve made more sense as a present to give a nine year-old boy. If either of us had watched that movie (and for the record, neither of us has), I imagine this would be a scene from the sequel.
