You've probably seen it by now, but Flansburgh has declared Tuesday to be TMBG Awareness Day in celebration of the release of the Join Us Preview.
Personally, I am totally in support of this idea (big surprise), and I think it would be kind of awesome if a bunch of us got together and did something together to show our love (which is not to say, you can't all do stuff on your own too!)
I don't have a clear idea in mind yet (I was hoping for some input from the peanut gallery), but I was thinking about a video of some sort, that a bunch of us could contribute to. I was kind of thinking along the lines of the birthday videos that a bunch of JoCo's fans have made the last few years (look it up if you never saw them), but I am totally open to suggestions.
Thoughts? Anyone interested? Am I on my own?
P.S. Go join the TMBG Awareness Day event page on Facebook if you haven't already (you gotta be logged into Facebook for the link to work): http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=124599457617441

ReplyDeleteI think we should make a video with like, "Hi, my name is ___ and I'm a TMBG fan." Get as many of us as possible. And then somebody at the end says, "They Might Be Giants Awareness Day. If you know someone affected by a lack of They Might Be Giants music, please. Introduce them to the band." Something like that. That's an early draft of a joke that could be.
I like Erin's idea of making a video of a BUNCH of people saying "Hi, my name is _______ and I'm a TMBG fan," except maybe instead of just "I'm a TMBG fan" they could do their own one-liner (like "and I've seen TMBG x times" or "and Ana Ng CHANGED MY LIFE, MAN" or "and John Flansburgh is the coolest aging hipster I know" except better than those examples) and then put it together. Because I think that'd be kind of cool.
ReplyDeleteMan, I am really bad at coming up with creative ideas, but I'm on board to do my part in whatever you all come up with. :-)
ReplyDeleteMegan, I like your idea. The "I'm a TMBG fan and" idea. That's better than mine.
ReplyDeleteOk, guys. I like it. It's a nice, simple idea that will be easy to carry out in a short period of time and wont require elaborate video editing. Start thinking of your "and" statement and I'll put out an official call for videos tomorrow. Also I feel, like it should have a good joke or gag or heartfelt message or something at the end. I'll think on that but if anyone has any ideas let me know.
ReplyDeleteI think that in the middle of the video it should go quiet for a few seconds and then someone should pop up and yell "DEAD!"
ReplyDeleteMegan, I nominate you for this role!
