I lived in San Diego for about 6 months in 2006. One of the few times I actually enjoyed myself during my stay was when I hung with Ms. Monster and the B-Minus Comiks crew at Comicon for the day. It was nice to have some friends in town. I’m not so into that type of nerdery but it was fun just walking around, manning the B-Minus table while they went toy shopping, looking at chicks dressed up in Princess Leah slave outfits and drinking straight Jack Daniels out of a Diet Coke bottle. Tenacious D played upstairs but it was nearly impossible to get a ticket. I saw Dr. Evil’s son walk by. Did you know that he’s like 4 1/2 feet tall?

Anyway, I came across this website yesterday that had 600 pictures of people at Comicon 2009 in their costumes. Being bored at work I went through it looking for Ms. Monster. Man-o-man, there are some fine looking nerd-chicks out there! People forget that sometimes.

Out of all 600 pictures there wasn’t a single one of Ms. Monster. And there were some weak-ass costumes in there too. Turns out she didn’t make it down there this year. I don’t even know why I’m writing this right now. I guess I’m just telling you how I came to this moment in time, posting a video of Ms. Monster at Comicon 2008. Whatever. Fuck off. Leave me alone.

Mark and Aaron are great artists and do a lot of cool stuff. They have three lines of comic books and they used to have a cable access show in San Francisco. The show was hosted by Ms. Monster. In their words it’s a “hilariously wild ride filled with B-movies, shorts, Cartoons, and, as always, puppets and gore! You’ll bust out of your stitches, then hunger for your own entrails!” One time they had a giant demon head accidently catch fire during filming. (that may or may not have been an actual prop from one of the Evil Dead movies. I might have just made that up) The fire spread throughout their building. When the firemen eventually got into the apartment they found severed limbs, skulls and other weird shit all over the place. Props, of coarse, but for a few seconds they were probably wondering what the hell was going on in there. Just about everything they had burned up in the fire. If I remember correctly AK managed to grab her bottle of Absinthe before fleeing the building. Fortunately they had a lot of good friends who gave them clothes and helped them out. I don’t remember actually being one of those helpful friends, but I did offer my sympathies.

Good song selection too. General Patton Vs. The Xecutioners.

Aaron gets abused by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog in the next video that aired on Conan. Triumph bashes him pretty good but Aaron handles himself well and gets the last laugh. If you don’t feel like watching the whole thing (you should watch it though cuz it’s funny) you can skip to about halfway through. Aaron’s the other guy with a puppet on his hand, the one with a red mohawk.

He has more money than me.

Here’s a review of the album taken from Amazon.com: “Awesome album! I’m a 20-something white guy from a homogenous little town in the Midwest. I knew nothing of the pimping lifestyle. That is, until I purchased this album. In two words: LIFE CHANGING. I decided to forego my full academic scholarship to Notre Dame. I now realized my full potential. I purchased an oversized lime green suit and prepared my pimp hand for some heavy slapping. Within months of purchasing the album, I was slam dunking, alley-ooping, Lebron Jamesing these hos with the best of ‘em! Thanks Top Dog! You’re the best!”

Gibby is just awesome. There’s a great video of him on Dean Ween’s fishing blog. They go fishing together and Gibby just gets drunk the whole time.
