The Cuab Side of the Moon

The latest short from us over at Breast Williams. Eat it.

So I’m at the Celtics game with Boov, dancing around in my Brian Scalabrine mask,

trying to either get on the jumbo-tron, or better yet ESPN or CSN. I never made it on the big screen or TV. The people around us loved the mask and thought it was hilarious. So, midway through the fourth quarter, I throw the mask on and start dancing again. Me being blinded by the mask back, I hear Boivin saying something about “them looking”. I assume I’m on the jumbo-tron, turns out Scalabrine himself spotted me from the Celtics bench, and was pointing and laughing AT ME, with the likes of Sam Cassell and Eddie House, amongst others perhaps. 

If that wasn’t cool enough, what happened next, will go down as yet another amazing Celtics game experience for me. 

A Celtics rep guy comes up to me and tells me that Brian Scalabrine WANTS THE MASK. He said Scal would give me a pair of autographed sneakers for it. So hilarious and ridiculous, and awesome, and sooo unexpected. Scal saw his face from afar and decided it must be his.We were told to hang out a bit after the game and the rep guy would come back with a pair of signed sneakers in exchange for the mask. So, I get a pen from an usher and write: Property of John Cuadras and youtube.com/cuadmin on the back of the mask, knowing that I needed to write SOMETHING, just not exactly what, so I gave him who I was, and where he can go to find out what I’m all about. So the rep guy comes back, and hands me a pair of size 16 sweaty game-worn autographed Brian Scalbrine Nike’s. “Thanks for the love”. So crazy. I ask the dude if I could give Scal the mask personally, but I got shot down, I gave him the mask, and it some weird desperate attempt for the Celtics to know who I am, I give the dude my business card and told him to give it to Scal. And thus the mask was off to the locker room where I’m sure Scal put it on and danced in from of the rest of the world champion Boston Celtics. All this Celtics luck is going to my head. I love it.

Size 16 complete with sweaty blood stain.

Just in case you’re not too familiar with Brian Scalabrine, here’s a nice little vid.

Here are the two supplement vids I made for that water bottle project in After Effects.

First project in After Effects…

Ray Allen, Tony Allen, Rajon Rondo, Jo Jo White, Lucky, a couple of Celtics Dancers, and the 2008 Larry O’Brien (NBA Championship) Trophy were at the Capitol today showing themselves off. Thanks to Luke, who was the ultimate hookup, I got to the front of the line, and got my picture taken with the whole lot of them. Davitt showed up later, and I waited in line with him, and got another picture taken, this time sans Rondo, Tony, and Jo Jo. Then as Ray Allen was leaving, the Chief of Police got me Ray’s autograph on my Champions T-shirt, again a Luke hook up. Here’s the story in pictures:

Ray Ray’s Car

I got two new babies up on the side of the highway. 

Thomaston Oil and Select Oil have become my babies at work, I even created the Select Oil logo. You can see these guys on 84 W (between exits 25 and 24) (Select Oil), and Thomaston on Rt 8 South, going towards Waterbury. Pretty cool seeing your work that big and that public.

I’m getting pretty geeked up for Halloween this year. I’m totally onboard with the group Dethklok idea. My Nathan Explosion costume is almost complete already. I bought some killer biker boots online from a biker boot wholesaler for over 50% off, I got my wig, and I even bought green contact lenses. I have yet to get the faded black shirt, the black nail polish (the one part of the costume I’m not too cool with, but whatevs), and the face makeup, if in fact we’re going as concert Dethklok, which I think only makes sense because it’s Halloween. I know Dan plans on being Toki, and Boivin wants in as Murderface, with Amy as costume designer. Amy is in the planning stages of her Dr. Rockso costume, which, if all goes according to plan, is going to be nutso good. We still need a Skwizgard and Pickles, I’m hoping Jeff wants to hop aboard, for either really, Skwizgard would be best for height reasons, but whatevs. Any takers on Pickles? Everybody knows the best costumes at any party are the group costumes. Is anyone even having a party this year? heh. The most exciting thing about doing this whole thing is the possibility of making a music video and sending it into Adult Swim. That’s what I’m most amped up about. Plus the photo opp possibilities. I gotta learn how to green screen, the video would be infinitely better if I could add any background I wanted. If I’m really ambitious I might even try to make the Dethklok cell phone, but thats a big might. Seriously if anyone wants to jump on board, do it! We need to be complete!

Brutal.
