Ever since Phantom Menace came out, midnight screenings has been a common practice at big multiplexes for high profile movies. Last one I went to was for The Dark Knight and there were at least 1000 people in line. Dark Knight was shown in 7 sold out theatres. I enjoy midnight screenings because of the energy from the fans and you have some people dressed up as their favorite characters.
Meet Jordan and Calvin. They love to attend midnight screenings and don’t mind dressing up for the occassions. They’ve been doing it for a couple of years. To get a better understanding of the midnight screening madness, we decided to do an interview:
Well I was looking for ideas for my outfits that I wanted to do for a convention, and one of the props that was on the list was Silly String.
I went to my first ever “Doll” show at Royal-T in Culver City. I’ve heard people call these dolls “elfdolls” or “ball-jointed dolls.” Well, it wasn’t just a doll show, it was also a gathering of lolita cosplayers. I have to say that I was surprisingly impressed with what I saw. When I first heard of the event, I was expecting to see just regular looking dolls like Barbie and such. But these dolls were so much different. And NO, it’s not just for girls. Scott, the owner of Valley Of The Dolls, who co-promoted the event, is an avid collector.
Pacific Media Expo (PMX) is similar event to Anime Expo (AX): experiencing Japanese pop culture, especially Anime. Both events have cosplayers. But this is where the similarities end. While Anime Expo has become a huge event every July 4th weekend, Pacific Media Expo is on its last legs. But just because PMX is on its deathbed, didn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it.
This is our first Halloween coverage so it’s a special one for us. And what better way for our first Halloween celebration then at the biggest costume street party in the world? Well at West Hollywood of course. Come join us as we meet presidential and vice presidential candidates, Obama and Palin, Jokers, sheep fuckers, Jesus Christ, and the craziness that Halloween brings!
Have an awesome Halloween weekend!!!
Stay tuned in the end for your fave Sesame Street characters doing what they do best 
Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend a local convention by the name of Autumn Dream, at the Lancaster Fairgrounds Poppy Pavilion, October 18-19.
Due to work I was unable to stay the whole event. I will brief you on some quick history of this convention. In previous years this convention has gone by the name of Ani-magic and was held for a typical con period(a full weekend). Due to some unknown force and situations this convention had to be revamped and redone to the current conception.

Well Blizzcon was an excellent event, better than E for All, that’s for sure. Stay tuned later this week for the convention report. Click on the link below for the gallery.
Thanks to BitMaster for the pics.
Ah yes, here’s our Everlong music video of the Tentacle Brothers at E for All 2008 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. This is a montage of our trip to the event showcasing us playing Guitar Hero World Tour along with cameos by Walter Day, Steve Wiebe, and more.
Did you know? This video actually makes E for All look better than what it really is, teehee =D
Anime Expo was truly a blast. Here we have the finale of Anime Expo 2008. The Tentacle Brothers say farewell and meets up with more nerds, a tentacle artist, Hawaiian Jason, crossplayers, Pac-Man’s ghosts, a Yaoi fan, pimp Mario, Tetris block, and plenty of tentacle fans (especially the last one). Hopefully you guys enjoy it as much as we enjoyed covering it.
Tune in the next time when the Tentacle Brothers party it up at E for All, the bastard child of E3!
Hey all, here’s part 3 of the Tentacle Bros @ Anime Expo 2008. This ep features Stepanie Yanez (super kawaii), megaphone-man, Ino cosplayer, chasing Tequila and Final Fantasy cosplayers, and matchmaking.
