[SpaceCowboys-Announce] Upcoming events, and AD&D: Advanced Disneyland & Drugs

[Space Cowboys Announcements]

Hello Friendly Person: 

Yes, you. I see you. In fact, you may
think you're being discrete but the truth is everyone sees you. Sure,
you're at a sold out show at the Fillmore, and it's packed and dark,
but just because you cup your hand over your lighter when you fire up
your pipe doesn't mean that it isn't the most obvious thing in the
world. There's the glow from the lighter splashes all over your face
like headlights on a cop car, and then there's that billow of smoke
that you blow upward so the ventilation system picks it up and then
blows it all right back down. The only reason the bouncers don't bother
you is because there's a steady parade of hot, drunk chicks marching to
and from the bathroom, and that's way more interesting to watch. The
only reason you think you're being discrete is because you're stoned.
Trust me, if you weren't stoned, you'd see, too. And YOU! Over there
sneaking shots outta that flask! Don't be laughing at the stoners! You
have the same problem they do -- the only reason you think you're being
sly with that flask is because you're drunk! 

Fucked up people
are never subtle in public. And the worst part is, they ALWAYS think
they are. It's horrible. I think there's probably some kind of
probablistic model that we could come up with that says something like:
Chances of getting noticed getting fucked up = 20% x the number of
steps involved with consuming your drugs (with an exponential modifier
coming into play depending on how shithoused you are already). So if
you're just popping a pill, you've got a good chance of getting away
with it. But if we say cooking and shooting smack has 8 steps x 20%,
that means your avegage junkie has a 160% chance of getting peeped if
he gets high in public. 

Once, my friends went to Disneyland to
get high. Apparently this happens all the time, so much so that Disney
open a whole new lucrative side business selling "I went to Disneyland
on [FILL IN THE BLANK]" shirts and sweaters. One of these friends
thought he was being discrete when he decided to 1) take a film
canister out of his pocket, 2) open it and peer inside a while, 3) then
stick his finger in it to poke at the contents, 4) pour the contents,
psychedelic mushrooms, on an ice cream sundae, then 4) stir the
mushrooms in and eat the sundae. That means he had an 80% chance of
getting seen, maybe higher Disneyland has security cams everywhere. If
this had been a game of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (instead of
Advanced Disneyland & Drugs), the Dungeon Master would've told my
buddy to roll a saving throw to avoid getting hauled off to Disneyland
Jail. But this amazingly indiscreet friend also had amazingly good
luck, and soon he was happily tripping his balls off in Fantasyland.
Actually, I think the Disneyland cops been hungover that day, because
other highlights from their adventure included several of them peaking
on ecstasy while shooting down the water flume of Thunder Mountain (and
yes, they bought the picture), and later a group of young men huddled
on Main Street in a circle, holding hands until the lights went down
for the Electric Light Parade. I'm sure several families went home
early that day. 

XO,
8B

Friday, June 19th - Brass Tax presents… MASSIVE BOX
An Epic Throwdown for the Brass Tax BOOMBOX!

Ladies
and gentlemen: Brass Tax has unearthed the missing link in the
evolution of the venerable ghetto blaster. Buried deep in a warehouse
on the balmy shores of Treasure Island, we have discovered what
scientists have dubbed “Boomasaurus Rex,” the king of all Boomboxery.
Standing 14’ high by 36’ wide and loaded with enough sound to disturb
the mating habits of the Drunkus Bu’asaurus, this massive Boombox
inspires awe, giddiness and uncontrollable dancing in all who witness
it!

Come experience the Boombox in all its blinking, booming
glory at MASSIVE BOX, Friday, June 19th on Treasure Island! This will
be the last chance for you to see the Boombox until we cart it out to
the playa for Burning Man. We’ll have two rooms of sound with the
phattest of beats spanning breaks, house, drum & bass, ghettotech
and hip hop from the following DJs, representing Brass Tax, FnF, Angels
of bAss, Strategik, Space Cowboys, Deep End, BAAD News, Tang and more:

Ding
Dong,Ernie Trevino, JoeJoe, Mace, Schwa, Ethan, j9, Tamo, Viajay,
Influence, Loosebeats, Clarkie, bassben, Pirata, M-Rock, Redstickman

Massive booty-quaking sound by JK Sound.

We'll
also have Peter Hudson's Homouroboros (http://www.hudzo.com), Live
Painting by Ezra Li (http://www.ezrali.com), Visuals by ocul8r,
Lighting by Rumpus Room, ManyFest Destiny's Covered Wagon, the
Steampunk Treehouse, the D.M.A Raphus Ineptus airship, Double Dutch
jump-roping, Malibu cannons, and a whole slew of shenanigans at this
fully permitted throw-down, so put on your favorite track suit and come
ready to GET DOWN!

Presale tickets are only $15 and are available here:

Tickets
will be $20 at the door, so save yourself some money and buy your
tickets now! While this party will certainly be massive in terms of
sound, fun and shenanigans, we have no desire to pack you all in like
rats, so please be aware that we have a limited capacity: Once tickets
are sold out, that's it, so don't sleep on it!
