So, nto only am I the only MAD COWGIRL person showing up, I’m only one of three film-making types showing up at all.
The other two are Tommy Chong, and the director of Tommy Chong’s movie. Needless to say, that Chong guy’s hogging all the media.
Back in high school, rednecks used to call me Chong because I wore a red bandana. I’ll tell him that if I get to meet him.
The gift bag for this film fest is a li’l different than the norm. At L.A. parties, you get stuff liek moisturizer, a high end girly tank top, breath mints, dog shampoo, and so on.
Here, I get:
A DVD of Mike Figgis’ movie HOTEL, clearly purchased from the used bin at Blockbuster.
A rubber insect.
A keychain with a plush dinosaur head/coin purse.
One of those candy things that’s a lollipop you dip in flavored powder.
A pack of chocolate cigarettes.
Best of all, though, is a packet of Worm Snax. These are actual dried worms with barbecue flavoring. You know I’m gonna eat them all, too. Cuz I’m the BOOGEYMAN AND I’M COMIN’ TA GETCHA!
(p.S. I’m not making fun of this gift bag. I think it may be the best one I ever got.)
Hahaha… that sounds more lYT…
Hmmm? Low budget swag, huh? I remember Mr. Chong cancelling his trip down to SF IndieFest when I was down there at the hotel lobby. I though for sure he would come to SF so, I can hear some stories of his heyday. Oh well…
when you hit the town with Chong make sure you snort the flavored powder that comes with the lollipop and please remember to put the rubber insect inside the coin purse in case there is an accident. the cigarettes you will be able to trade for something disastrous.
Don’t complain. I’m pumped if I get a gift bag like that in Amsterdam, I’m pumped if I get a gift bag at all. I’m happy with the one night in the hotel and a lft there from the airport. BBQ worms would really make the exp specia=l though. I just took a pill, so forgive a bro if this makes no sence. Let’;s put the show together when we’re both back in town.
