It's on! DJs vs. Bloggers at Flashback Flicks
Just yesterday I told you all about the blogger get-together prior to Thursday night's showing of "The Goonies" at Flashback Flicks.
Today, the plot thickens.
DJ Bradley -- local promoter, house DJ, head of SonicFoundation.net and Beehive commenter -- has made the following announcement:
The GOONIES is playing at Edwards Theater (Riverpark), this Thursday Dec 12!! Let's have a Sonicfoundation.net movie night!Meet at World Sports Cafe for drinks at 8:30pm, then check out the Goonies on the big screen at 10pm. Tickets are $5.
(there is a bunch of fresno bloggers meeting up to see the movie too, but they are hanging out at Me n Eds -- no worries their geekiness will not rub off from that far away (right mike oz?! ;o)
I picture this ending all West Side Story-ish, with both sides dance-walking toward each other from opposing River Park corridors and meeting at the foundation in front of Edwards for a fight to the death nerd-off.

I hope that embedded right. And ironically enough, West Side Story was last week I believe.

dave were you at the Party Friday? I remember someone on stage (Mike or Hmac can't remember) calling you out and no one answered. Out of all the people, I wanted to meet you the most. You should show up on Thur. Just make sure you pick the right side...

@MsJoey - Having a girl with them goes against every nerd rule around. I'm pretty sure it's sacrilege for nerds to be seen with girls that aren't their mother or sister.

@Dave: No cake, just alcohol. As good as cake is, alcohol > cake in a social setting. Unless it's a cake fight between 2 girls, as went down at the Beehive party.
@Abe: We're the neo-nerd! These days, the girlz.....kinda dig us! Kinda...

I hear the independents are meeting up at Jamba Juice and will approach from the west at the appropriate time.
And the PBS crew with Tim Robbins and his pipe will be waiting in the lobby by the snack bar.
Don't forget Brick has a grenade.

@michael- only about 5 minutes though, felt like crap, bad cold, I want my shirt though
Posted by: dave at December 10, 2008 2:41 PM
Now if we can get someone to sing "I feel pretty" then we'll be set.
Posted by: Michael at December 10, 2008 2:41 PM
Uh, girls love nerds....almost as much as we love cake!
and Candice, WTF????
I guarantee you there will be lots of lines shouted from the audience, ahem, "Andie, you GOONIE!"

My only copy of Goonies is a bad quality recording on VHS..
I'll be parachuting down for this one!
Posted by: Shant at December 10, 2008 3:11 PM
ARGH a busy schedule! I'll be MIA... but look for an event to be announced soon in January for possible nerdy sightings! ;)

we have already out-geeked you, and thursday is not even here yet.
we are having an afterparty to play the old skool Goonies NES game. even more geeky cuz were playing it on chipped Xbox.
w00t!

Domestic?! Pshht! We'll be playing some Konami Wai Wai World running on my iPhone! ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!
Posted by: brodiemash at December 10, 2008 4:17 PM
Nerds will win! We drink more beer so we won't feel it when our asses gets beat. Then the girls will feel bad for us and want to nurse us back to health.
Side note: I would like to remind everyone that none of this meets with Riverpark's Code of Conduct.

..If I dinn't know better,
I'd swear Adam did a loose quote of
'the Battle of Epping Forest,' (Genesis)
(he is a woodworker, and we do have some refinements...)
nah.

What if I am a nerd and listen to house? Baby Ruth!!
Posted by: Robert Schultz at December 10, 2008 7:42 PM
Wish I could make it! But I'll set some "booby traps" on behalf of the Beehive.
Posted by: Roopam47 at December 10, 2008 8:43 PM
I'm going to start my own hang out in front of Black House White Market. It'll be for loner chicks that go home early and draw.
Posted by: teresa at December 10, 2008 10:27 PM
Will there be single hot loner chicks at Black House? Cause I'll so ditch Brodiemash for that.
Posted by: Michael at December 11, 2008 8:18 AM
Dude, I think they ran ----------------> that way.
Posted by: teresa at December 11, 2008 9:35 AM
@teresa: Damn.
Posted by: Michael at December 11, 2008 9:52 AM
Drat.
I wanna be a nerd too...
Alas, I feverishly sew sparkly things on other sparkly things just for the purpose of removing said sparkly things from my person in two days.
And I don't think I've ever actually SEEN "The Goonies" all the way through in my lifetime.
Another missed opportunity.

Bad news for the DJs: Worlds Sports Cafe is having a concert tonight with The Trouble Brothers.
Ohhhh, trouble indeed.
Whatcha gonna do, DJs? Where ya gonna go?
Johnny Rockets?
Jamba Juice?
Me-N-Ed's Slices?
MiMi's Cafe?
Posted by: Mike Oz at December 11, 2008 3:27 PM
Oh I smell a turf war. Though I may switch sides if they go to Mimi's, they have a bomb turkey dinner.
And Mike there's no Slices anymore. They became Coney Island when they moved.

Damnit, screw the olive branch. I want West Side Story brawl. It's on my list of things to do before I die.
