Well its been 8 weeks since the first WOWednesday™ and I’m really interested to find out what you guys think of it so far. I created a quick poll that’s scaled from 1 to 5 (1 being bad and 5 being amazing). Be sure to leave a comment if you have any suggestions or anything.
If you have been to Arlington, VA or any other upscale(ish) suburb you will definably appreciate this video. This video is HIL, HIL, HIL, HIL, HILARIOUS!
I originally posted this story over at Dredg.com on June 9th, 2009. I thought you guys might enjoy the story as well. Click here to see the original post. I laced this post with Google Street View links to help give a better perspective so be sure to check out the links.
I have been a Dredg fan for a really long time and I was super stoked about the Philly show at the Theatre of Living Arts. Two of my friend and my wife drove four hours from Virginia just to see the show.
About two blocks from TLA we found promising looking one level parking “garage“. As we were turning into the garage I noticed a tour bus with a few people standing outside right past the entrance. I turned to my friend and asked “was that Gavin standing next to that tour bus?” My friends agreed that it looked like him. After we figured out how to enter the garage, those spikes looked pretty menacing. I started talking about if it would be cool/respectful if I just walked up to him and tell him about how a huge fan I am and all that other brown nosing stuff that you say when you meet someone like that. About half way down the ramp I saw them in the mirror walking by. I yelled to my friend “Stop the Car!” I then opened my passenger side door leaned out the car and exalted “HEY DREDG!” They jumped and looked over at me startled and surprised. The only thing I could think of saying was “WHAT’S UP!” as I waved. Gavin acknowledged me with a head nod and they continued walking. I was so embarrassed of my fan boy outburst, I quickly shut the door as my friends started to poke fun at me.
We parked the car and started walking towards South Street. As we rounded the corner I looked across the street over at Jon’s Bar & Grill and saw them sitting outside getting ready to have dinner. As I looked I noticed they were all staring at me and I just knew they were thinking “please don’t let this crazy guy come over here and crash our dinner.” I looked away as if I never saw them sitting there and continued walking towards TLA. We entered the theater and decided to go upstairs and watch the show from there. Because upstairs had a bar we had to show our ID which my wife somehow left in the car. I was picked to be the one to walk back to retrieve it. I quickly headed back to the car, knowing I would have to walk by there twice more. Both times I walked by they were looking at me and both times I pretended I didn’t see them. I didn’t want to be that crazy stalker type fan.
The show was amazing! Dredg sounded perfect and we had front row upstairs, sitting on bar stools. The next time they come around my area I will try not to weird them out again with my star struck tennie-bopper actions.
When I saw this video I literally rolled on the floor laughing. This is one of those videos that I just knew it was the next WOWednesday™. I have seen other ones like this but this one is “special”. It’s also fairly fresh because it added to YouTube only a week ago. You have to see the entire video to understand the weird WOWednesday™ title.

Last Thursday, May 21st Valve released the latest update to Team Fortress 2. Along with the new weapons, maps and fixes… Valve released their latest trailer and in my opinion their best trailer for TF2, “Meet The Spy”.
I know not all of you will appreciate it… but hey, it’s what I’m into.
It probably goes without saying that Dredg is my favorite band… And here is their first music video from their new album “The Pariah, the Parrot, the Delusion” which will be released 6/9/2009. Enjoy!
