T-Fest VII on Aug 20th…

Updated on April 5, 2011 By Ken Begg 23 Comments

OK, plane tickets have been bought and things are locked in: The 7th Voyage of T-Fest will occur on Saturday, August 20th in (more or less) Dallas at the offices of Barking Lizards, the location of the recent T(ween) Fest. For what it’s worth, the sound system should be a lot better, since they were literally just moving into the building when the event occurred.

More information as it comes in. See you there.

    So, a viking Rip Taylor?

    Are they actually going to show “Tarkan vs The Vikings”? If you’ve never seen it you are in for a real treat. It just may be the best bad movie ever made. How many Viking movies sport a giant rubber octopus?

  • No, I just tossed that in there for the 7th voyage thing. Did we already show this at one fest or another? Otherwise, yeah, it would be a great feature. However, I am forgoing any scheduling role this year, as Chris and Freeman’s absence from the last couple of shows allowed me to bogart more than my fair share of slots.

  • Reed

    Two words: Sweet!

    I would like to propose that we start a new T-Fest tradition, and that at every gathering we all get up after the second feature to stretch and DO THE JELLYFISH!

  • The Rev.

    I can’t believe you’ve already set up a time! Still, I’m glad you can make it down, Ken. I was going to be very sad if you weren’t able to do so.

    I realize almost no one gives a rat’s ass, but I’m going to try very hard to make time this week to get my write-up done (and also get Nathan’s e-book read and reviewed).

    If I have any sort of veto power, I’m using it on Reed’s suggestion. Even now that goddamn song is trying to once again worm its way into my psyche.

    If you showed that Tarkan movie, it was at the fabled 2nd T-Fest. It wasn’t in your write-up of the first, and it’s not been shown at any I’ve been to. I’d love to see it, though, based on your review.

  • Rev: I’ve been checking ticket prices at Expedia every single day. Up to today it looked like we were talking about $400, which was close to a deal breaker. (Especially since I’m getting KILLED on my taxes this year.) Anyway, apparently today is when American Airlines released booking for all their August flights, and I was able to secure both a very reasonable fare and good flight times by getting in there early. So yes, I was quite relieved, and happy to be able to join you guys down there.

    Tarkan vs… has not been shown at either T or Tween-fest, so feel free to go with it.

  • Reed

    Wella
    I saya fella
    get your Cinderella
    and do the jella
    the jilla jalla jella
    it’s really swella
    to do the jella jellyfish
    Hey!
    Monkey!
    Don’t be a donkey
    it’s nothing like The Monkey!
    It isn’t funky
    or anything that’s junky!
    it’s something swella
    the jilla jalla jellyfish!

  • The Rev.

    Reed, I swear to Shub-Niggurath and all her young that I will destroy you.

    I WILL DILLA-DALLA-DESTROY YOU

    …………….

    (insert stream of curse words here)

  • Mr. Rational

    Count me in…if I can afford the drive up!

  • Kirk

    I second Reed’s suggestion. That is a catchy little ditty.

  • Mr. Rational

    Agree with Reed. However, I really like the Rev’s rebuttal.

  • The Rev.

    Kirk’s turned on me because of that Tea Party remark I made last last year.

    I don’t know what Mr. Rational’s excuse is.

    [Sally Field]You hate me. You really, really hate me.[/Sally Field]

  • Rev. — Did you ever stop to consider the possibility that the rest of us think the Jellyfish song is AWESOME.

    Admittedly, your pain is the cherry on the sundae, though.

  • Mr. Rational

    Well, I might as well be a Tea Partier. I am, I guess, in all but name — I pretty much agree with them on fiscal issues, and it’s not like we’re at odds on any of the important social matters. But that has nothing to do with it, since I work and socialize every day with some very didactic progressives. I’ve just gotten used to assuming that they think I’m stupid.

    Honestly, I just enjoy watching you suffer. Although, again, I really appreciated your choice of phrase to express your pain. Well done.

  • The Rev.

    Ken: I refuse to believe that you aren’t all doing this on purpose. That song is an abomination from the blackest pits of Jabootu’s realm. No one likes it.

    I SAID NO ONE

    Mr. R: Well, thanks for the compliment. I’m still bitter, though.

    Seriously, does that thing not stick in your heads when you hear or even think of it? Is it just me that’s cursed this way?

  • 1) we have never shown Tarken vs. the Vikings. I know this for a fact.

    2) I am quite sure we have shown all the Billy Jack movies, so we DO NOT NEED TO SHOW THEM EVER. Also I’m am sure we have shown Zabriskie Point.

    3) Mr. Rational openly says in his remark above that he “Socializes”. If I wasn’t a dirty commie already by Ken’s anslysis, I’d call him one.

    4) There are now 8 Burger Islands ranging across our great nation clear from western Dallas suburbs (like Irving) to eastern Dallas suburbs (like Rockwall). So perhaps we should have lunch at the Yuppie burger place Rich talks about.

  • Kirk

    Rev. – It’s just fun to watch you twitch when that song is brought up. Kinda like Sandy when someone mentions Samurai Cop, or Ken’s reaction to the most awesome comedy duo in the universe (The Barbarian Brothers).

    Sandy – Any chance that the yuppie burger place sells a polar bear burger stuffed with meerkat bacon?

  • The Rev.

    The lady of the house liked Burger Island all right, but said that Twisted Root had better food (she went to the downtown location once, but I assume it’s the same at the Richardson one, quality-wise). If she tags along again, she’ll definitely be voting for it this time. She is very much a burger connoisseur, so I trust her judgment on that sort of thing.

    If she does, I hope she gets to see a more fun movie. If I’d known you were going to play Seventh Curse I’d have had her come for that instead, because Counter Destroyer was a disappointment.

    Kirk: Sandy twitches about Samurai Cop? Really?

  • That song is crap. Anyone who likes it is an idiot. I have spoken.

    It’s somewhere between “Sometimes When We Touch” and Nelly Furtado’s cover of “Time Stand Still” on the garbage meter. About abreast of “Friday”, actually.

  • The Rev.

    Yay, my old pal Chris agrees with me!

    I caught a bit of that “Friday” song on The Soup, and I actually think it might be worse than the Jellyfish. How bad do you have to be where autotune doesn’t make you sound any better? At least Sadaka can sing…

  • GalaxyJane

    Just gotta break in hee and blurt out that I haveses my ticketses and will be getting in on Thursday the 18th if anyone wants to carry out any pre-Fest festivities. That is all. You may now return to your regularly scheduled grousing.

    Less that two weeks to go!

    How does that Jellyfish dance go again?
