Folks!

I just wanted to get a little pimptimonious on your ass and tell you about some wondrous stuff I’ve run into in the last couple of weeks. Basically, these links are for the clicking, people.

Our lovely host at the Burlington screening of, you guessed it, Nerdcore Rising, was a Mr. Bill “mayor of Burlington” Simmon. The guy does everything and knows everyone in Vermont.  He’s got a radio show called Poli Sci-Fi Radio where, along with co-host Steve Benen, he talks about politics and sci-fi. I was a guest on the show and a little nervous about it until I managed to maintain pseudo-sci-fi legitimacy with an over-zealous position on the movie Primer. Bill has also made a short film that’s on the festival circuit called “Digital Pamphleteer" that you can check out on youtube.

The Bill Simmonness doesn’t stop there because his wife Emily Stoneking casually hung out with us while knitting a dissected rat. She’s already been on BoingBoing because of a purely excellent, knitted, dissected frog. My camera doesn’t do her rat justice but I was the first to get an official bloggers look so forgive the photo work (below). 

My next act of pimptimony involves another favorite find, Solipsistic Nation. Joseph from SN interviewed me for the site but forget that and just listen to Solipsistic for their smart smorgasbord of electronic music and artist interviews.

Also met a dude named Arthur who gave me a CD from his San Francisco-based band Blammos. They’re fun. More people should listen to them. 

Remember that blog I wrote about Pangea Day? Well, you should see all the films! But if you only have time to see one, make it this one. It will blow your face off. 

Finally, I’m on Twitter and it’s about time! Find and follow me, if you dare. For your convenience, the ID is NerdcoreRising.

Finally finally, Nerdcore Rising will be the Closing Night film at the DeadCENTER Film Festival in Oklahoma City on June 14. More details on that when I'm emotionally prepared to part with them.

That's all for now.

Your faithfullest NR:TM representative,

negin

Photos: 1) a license plate a la Burlington; 2) me and Bill Simmon on the Poli Sci Fi Radio Show; 3) a poor quality photo of a knitted dissected rat; 4) a completely random picture of me and Matthew Modine at Pangea Day - the real star is the hilarious dude behind us.

00 you must click through to the boingboing image of the dissected frog - you really get the unbelievable knitted details there. ReplyDandy Nerd on May 21, 2008, 11:41 pm

00Thanks for pimping my show :-) Thanks for joining me on Solipsistic Nation. It was great talking to you about Nerdcore Rising! As long as I'm here, let me direct people to my own documentary I did on Nerdcore which can be found at http://solipsisticnation.com/?p=50 My doc features MC Frontalot (of course) as well as folks like YTCracker and Beefy. I've also got a pretty dope mix of Nerdcore jams which can be found at http://solipsisticnation.com/?p=79 Hope to see you when you hit San Diego! ReplyBazooka Joe on May 28, 2008, 11:13 am

00You rock the hardest Thanks for visiting our little burg in the north country. We had a blast. Here's hoping I get to hang out with you again some time. W00t! ReplyBill Simmon on May 30, 2008, 12:32 pm
