How about a few cool days in a row!

Wednesday: Shaun Spalding of Inuit Jargon fame hooked us up with the U of F's Green screen for a sweet music video shoot.  We decided that the more serious we tried to make the video look, the lamer it would come out.  Therefore, we made a video for "Animal Dance" www.morningbellonline.com/morningbell_animal_dance.mp3, a silly song Travis recorded just for fun.  The video is gonna be hot (hopefully).  We have full confidence in Shaun.

Thursday: Tom Petty and the M'Fin heartbreakers playing in Gainesville, FL!  As per most arena concerts, our seats were the second to last row in the entire O-Dome.  Luckily, the O-Dome isn't that big, so they weren't that terrible.  It pisses me off though, because I bought them at 10:02 AM (they went on sale at 10:00).  Those are the best available?? So, I tried again 15 minutes later and got some sweet seats in the lower level.  However, I had already paid 200 bones for the 4 tickets I already purchased, so I didn't get the second set.  Oh well.

It was a hot hot show.  The crowd just pretty much cheered and shouted as loud as humanly possible during every pause in the music.  It was pretty awesome.  They played for over 2 hours and pretty much blew my mind with a hot rendition of Don't Come Around Here No More.  They also closed with American Girl as usual, but when he said "she could hear the cars roll by, out on 441," Tom Petty pointed to where 13th (441) is in reference to the stage and the whole place just blew up.  It was really cool, but also lame because it was like "I drive on that street and he just said the name of it and I drive on it sometimes."  It was probably one of the coolest concerts I've been to just because it was Tom Petty's first visit to Gainesville in 13 years, the band's farewell tour, and the f'in hometown crowd.  Pretty sweet.

Friday: WMNF's back to school show at the Orpheum in Tampa kicked off with a Bell set.  It was a cool show and we had a good time.  We have a new T shirt design, which I will be posting tomorrow for you all, but it is so hot it makes me want to take my shirt off.  (see the irony, because it is a shirt).

Anyway, the highlight of the evening was driving past a billboard in Tampa that said "CrushEverything.com" and had a picture of a Hummer underneath.  Then, as if on cue, a Hummer passed us on the right and was fully equipped with a silver plated set of testes hanging on the back bumper.

This has led me to the following slogan suggestion for Hummer. 

Hummer:  FUCK YOU!
