“Top Ten Plays Kobe Can’t Make”
Title and video stolen from John Paul King.
Can’t we just skip all these meaningless games and skip right to Cavs vs. Lakers in the finals? Oh, that’s right, the Lakers might not even make it.

Barack, You’re Doing It Right
Michelle has an awfully salty look on her face.
But check out those guns!
JetLev: The Water Propelled Jet Pack
This seems like it would be fun. I think it would be more fun if you combined it with another sport. For instance, “JetLev Water Basketball.” I don’t know if it would really work, but the idea sounds good to me.
Check Out These Nerds Dressed as Superheroes “Protecting” the Streets of Cincinnatti
I’m going to go ahead and put this out there: they were all probably home schooled. Best part of the video might be when the nerds walk up to the two homeless dudes and one says, “What the heck is this?! Man, this ain’t Easter!”
Other notable crime fighters include Aclyptico from Pennsylvania, Wall Creeper from Colorado, Master Legend from Florida, and Mr. Extreme from California.
The “Green” Pizza Box
This is an extremely simple way to change an existing product. I almost always tear off the lid and use it as a plate, but the bottom folding into a smaller box for the fridge is genious. I suppose this can be considered “green,” but you still use a huge cardboard box every time you order a pizza.
WTF is This Guy Doing to That Kid?
This is just one of those moments. Who knows what was really going on, but it looks really, really bad on national TV.
The Bic Pen Artwork of Juan Francisco Casas
Juan Francisco Casas paints large size canvases where he reproduces images he takes with his camera, youthful and spontaneous domestic photographs of fleeting moments of nighttime fun. All of these are done with a blue bic ballpoint pen. From what I’m told, Tristan Johnston is also extremely talented with a ballpoint pen. If I ever get any photos of his work I’ll be sure to post it up. (Hint: Tristan, send me some stuff)
You can check out more of his work here (some images NSFW).
Say Goodbye to Pete Tonight @ Carabar!
As many of you know, Pete is moving to Austin, Texas tomorrow afternoon to pursue his dream of becoming a BMX groupie. He also said something about managing an “authentic” Mexican restaurant with “fresh flavors” and “home-style recipes.”
All joking aside, Pete is one of the best friends I’ve had over the past 10 years. Even though he always smells like a burrito, he’s a great guy and we’re really sad to see him go. Tonight we are meeting at Carabar for his final goodbye party. If you weren’t able to make it to the three previous parties he threw for himself, tonight is your chance. Come say goodbye to Pete, have a few drinks, listen to some sad music, and stuff yourselves with $1 coney dogs.
We’ll miss you, Pete!

I have a feeling this is going to be a slow day. I’m sure someone will find this amusing.
Better Than Ice Cream, Vol. 23 by Wes Keyes
I feel that by Monday everyone will be in more of a mellow mood. Perfect time to check out Portland’s Horse Feathers. If you’re into folk/indie, you’ve got to see this show. Justin Ringle packed up and headed to Portland in ’04 where he played solo under the name Horse Feathers. He met Peter Broderick in ’05, and the pair started playing together. Then came the addition of Heather Broderick, Nathan Crockett, Catherine O’Dell and Sam Cooper, bringing with them a surplus of musical skill with various instruments. They’re playing Monday, May 4th at Rumba Cafe.
Lastly, Columbus native Tim Easton is coming back to the Bus for a CD release show at Rumba Cafe on Friday, May 1st. Other Columbus musicians are also featured on the new album titled Porcupine which was released on the 28th of this month. So be sure to stop by and show your support. Tim Easton’s MySpace.
Lastly lastly, Franz Ferdinand is playing the Newport on Saturday night. You already know who they are and tix are sold out I think, who cares about that shit anyways…
I Found One More…
Couldn’t resist. People are expecting their upcoming album Manners to be one of the best albums of 2009. I’m definitely feeling every track I’ve heard so far. Album drops May 19th.
Hard Ticket to Hawaii: A Skater’s Death

This movie is definitely being added to our Movie Night playlist.
Better Than Ice Cream, Vol. 22 by Wes Keyes
With so much going on this weekend it, I couldn’t put three bands in today’s post. I tried, It’s just too long. So I’m splitting them up between today and tomorrow. I’m quickly going to highlight each one, because they are all playing sets in town Friday-Monday. First up, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Kip Berman, Kurt Feldman, Alex Naidus and Peggy Wang formed The Pains for short, and in 2007 recorded an EP. Released in February of this year, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart is their first full length self titled album. Check their MySpace for music/videos etc. They’re playing The Summit on Friday, May 1st.

How to Fail a Sobriety Test
How could you arrest an old guy after a phenomenal display like that? That’s exactly how I picture Wes when he gets that old. I wonder how the rest of the video turned out?
This Guy Could Beat Your Ass
Rajini Kanth is the Bruce Lee of India. That Motumbo finger wag with the sound effects is pretty tight.
Talladega 2009: Insane Crash/Finish
The science and engineering that goes into making these racecars is amazing. That car went 20 feet in the air and got tossed around like a ragdoll and the driver just hopped out and ran to the finish line. No one was injured during the crash.
