I happen to be a movie buff! Don't believe me check out all of my film shirts, pretty cool huh!
SO i was watching the surfs in the theatre, which was eggcellent, and saw an awesome trailer i had th tell abbot. It a new movie call Time Arms where in the future people get green tattoos of time so they think they can not die, i bet they die tho. It looks awesome and Stars Jestin Timerlake and Camron DIaz and has oscar written all over it! My favorite part of the trailer was when Jestin say gimme that time and then the guy totally does, but they both don't realize their just tattoos and they will both die, tattoos are neat but they arnt gonna stoop you from having a funeral, in the end green tattoos don't matter.
see you at the movie theatre, time arm premirers 10.28.11
My Night At The Mantis Pincer Conert Show -By Hank Stephenson
This man stole a guys sports car so they put him on top of the crowd till the cops came.
Hey there Guitar heads, Hank S here with another addition of Show Boatin with hank, this weeks write up is about the mantis pincers Cassette Tape release party that was on august 6th at the Vaudeville Mews. What a better way to comemerate the day that harry hedini performed his Amazing barrels of water trick then with a concert, if you couldn't already tell i am a big fan of music so i was pumped for this show cause everybody had been starting rumors that the Pince play really really old guitars, i was thinking to my self "awesome".
Normally i got to live concerts by my self cause i really like to focus on how old the bands guitars are but i had invited my friend Gilm along cause he's really a fan of music to. Before the show we got ready for the show by drinken beers at the Royal Mile, a bar with europe beers. What do i like to do be for shows, i like to get my dunkle on.....dunkle party boom! Me and Gilm drank what seemed like 3 europe beers and then we headed over the the Vaudeville Mew to check out these old guitars.
Lager-Made those old guitars sound like the bomb.
Vaudeville Mews is a musical venue in Des Moines famous for its live music and famous bar tenders. One concert goer claimed a bar tender who works their was in Bladers with Leslie Sykes, awesome movie, but what is this Hollywood, nice try music fan, ol Hank Wasn't Born in August. Me and Gilm grabed a few bigboys and found a place to sit right next to the sound man whose name i believe was Lager or something like that, it was dark and loud at this point so it was defiantly about time to Pince, and see these old guitars.
Around 8:00the Pince took the stage, and started to play some of the oldest guitars i ever seen. I looked at the lead singer Devan's guitar and turned to Gilm and told him it was a fender, old one too! The music was great too. You can tell these guys know how to write a rockin song with titles like Shrimp Bisque and Squash Bisque. I felt like i was taken to a mysterious Nantucket rock show with the view of the oceans in the background of thos 60's esque old guitar rock. These guys totally hadthe feel of Gend Nickersons old stuff but with a new school flair. And Just when you think the Pince is about to sing a song about clam chowder, they spring a song called "The Financial Realm" that is about a nether region where orcs and demons fight over junkbonds and stock portfolios, i think, and those guitars...those sweet old guitars. Below is a video my camera man "Stan Denson" shot on his DFT 61 slr dv cam.
Well i have some big news, after you last heard from me i was heading toward Montana for a ranchers open mic convention, crossing the wyoming boarder i was hit and injured severely by a buffalo deer mob nearly loosing some function of my hand connector. The trooper cop who first arrived at the accident area called in a 409 and i was helicottered (new type of flying machine) back to Des Moines where they have a unit the deal specifically with hand connectors. Upon arriving back at the place i had just left after a luscious sopen (surprise open mic) mic i was brought into a professional hospital to save my hand connector. In fear i might loose some function of my hand connector Dr Kennis put me in an coma sleep so they could keep my hand under loose observation.
Well Dear readers about 4 hours ago i finally awoke from my inducted coma sleep, and for the first time in nearly 10 months i was awake. I felt just like Thom Crugers character must have felt in the hollywood motion picture "Vandella Sky", and to top it off my hand connectors hadn't lost any function, they worked just like when i was a kid and i lived at the king author court apartments in Georgia state. I high fived Dr Kennis so hard he said "ouch hank, you slow down you've been gone for a long time and things have changed".
Well i had seen Vandella Sky before so i knew that during my coma half my family had probably died, that their were probably flying Raz'or Scooters now and that Tina Turner was most likely now president of the council. So i prepared my self for the speech but the doctor didn't have any typical post coma news instead he went on to tell me that my Open Mic Consortium insurance doesn't cover coma sleeps and that i had amassed 367.00 $ in hospital coma fees, and that my car, a 1968 Dubuque town car ,was donated to a farmer to keep hoses in during the winter. In minutes i had gone from thinking i was in Vandella Sky to being broke and carless. "At least half my family didnt die", i said.
Dr Kennis then chimed in"Actually your mom did die, she was hit by a foul ball at a Baseball match and died of complications, but don't think about that. Whats important is that your not allowed to leave Des Moines until your expenses are paid. Anyway i have to go wash my expensive Mountain bike, good luck Hank" and Dr Kennis walked out.
