The line for activities spanned the park :0
Half-way to the front of the line and a couple of familiar faces showed up
Can you spot Spagett?
Ruth Carr sings a song by Ruth Carr
...but when a tumbler attempts the song, she feels he needs a little extra help
(the guy behind them did a spot-on Casey impression, sound effects and all)
The audience was enthralled
Ruth spent the rest of the day dancing it out and getting her picture taken... say who's that old man to her left?
Why, it's everyone's favorite Pep Pep, Richard Dunn!
He handed out signed/personalized head shots and was just an all around sweety
He got his gigantasaurus shirt at Mervyn's
...and then someone showed up that made me poop myself. He was gone as quickly as he came, but the essence of Bob Odenkirk lingered afterward like some kind of very nice, fancy cheese.
(Eric's sweatband is appropriate, as the guys jogged into the park and ran around in circles; high-fives were had)
One man was so inspired by Bob's pressence, he stepped up to the mic for a lovely rendition of "Here She Comes"
Other Karaoke-ers included a real-life father and son duo (okay not quite) singing "Father and Son"
While there were good singers and bad singers ("Ya Blew It" recievers), few new what to make of the Snuggler singing "Poke On"...
The performance included flailing, runnning, and yelling until said Snuggler's face turned bright red
Dougg the Critic says: next time, more enthusiasm
Poor Razz encountered the day's technical difficulties
As the number of people waiting for the mic became... none, two interns stepped up to show us their acapella jingle singing abilities (DJ Dougg Pound providing some beats)
This kid was awesome. He sang "Rolo Tony" twice. Easily the best of all the karaoke-ers
blahblahblahblah ;D
Dougg's station (and itty bitty dog)
Thank you Cinco, for providing us with... Shasta cola?
I drank the "grapefruit zazz" flavor
Pass the balloon rod!
But Awesomecon is about athletics! Let's check out those Tug O' War fiends-
um... well the rope snapped as soon as the pulling began...
Eric says: next year, stronger rope
The wheelbarrow race was crazy intense
But only one pair emerged victorious!
For the less athletic fans, there is always the costume contest
(thanks for shrinking it, photobucket :\)
- Thocks girl just wanted to thank Thocks for giving her "the confidence to make wife to my love"
Eric reassured her that not everyone can be a pro on the mic, Tim showed off his "inTOnations"
-Carole's chair dance was hot, but not hot enough
-Spagett's prop was perfect, but his lack of giant eyebrows failed to impress Tim
-"Mrs. Heidecker" thoroughly impressed Tim, from her bluetooth to the "Croaks"
-"Mr. Wareheim" squatted his way to the winners' circle
- the Pumpers were pretty fly, but their spot was soon taken by the Tumblers... who could actually tumble really well
- Pizza Boy's easy costume didn't impress the judges either
- the Snuggler snuggled his way into the circle, and won the war between two Snugglers with his beard
-Both "opening sequence Tim and Eric" and the Beaver Boys didn't get a spot in the finals, despite a nice beaver bounce, and a little spit up, the judges proclaimed it was "sooo last year" and that the boys had "just embarrased [themselves] in front of all these people"
A debate regarding how to judge group costumes:
Tim- well, a Wareheim can't win
Eric- Y na-awt? Y na-awt? na-awt? Y na-awt?... (etc. also, phonetic spelling)
The quiz round was tough, but one female competitor with a meaty accessory rose above the rest
Mom was really excited about D'ump
... until he was pulverized into a papier-mache ball
Prizes from D'ump include: snake and owl tattoos, glittery leaves...
...Plastic dairy and meat products, foreign sausages and snack cakes? wat.
If you want a nice picture, don't try to talk while it's being taken. SUPERCOOL NONETHELESS!
DJ Douggpound is totally awesome.
He liked my shirt :]
@ home shirt close-ups at the end of the day:
I'm pretty sure they just rented from this place because with a stereotypical chinese accent it sounds like "anal potty lentil"
that Tug O' War tie resulted in sunglasses for all!
While decorations were being taken down, my uncle yoinked a few for my cousin's "circus"
... we also went to a neat graphic design company/ urban vinyl gallery called Subtext
... there was a pig
