Questo spot  ce lo ricordiamo tutti vero?

Ma rinfreschiamoci la memoria…

E ora?

Wassup, y’all? Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but I’ve been SOOOOOO busy! The final performance of A Thousand Cranes was last night. It was so exciting, yet so sad. Joshua had to wear his hair in a ponytail and Colin’s hair looked like Christopher Robin – it was so adorable lol… Shreyas has been out sick all week, and Katherine missed last night and Friday night because she has SWINE FLU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is horrible!!!!!!!!!

Their wish is engraved on the base of the statue:

This is our cry.

This is our prayer.

Peace in the world.

…One thousand…

Look, Grandmother! You were right!

In school… we finished Y1K and it was AMAZING! Now in Chorus it seems more like dance because we’re learning all the choreography. I almost have the moves for Locomotion down! We get to wear poodle skirts for the concert! Woot! ^-^ Let’s see… no other fun stuff going on in school so yeah…

Have I talked about choir at all? I don’t think so… Well basically I’m in the “youth choir” at my church. We sing at the 12:15 Masses. Who’s in it? A lot of people from Fiddler… Mike, Catherine, Lizzie, Emily, Jessica G., Jessica K., two other girls who weren’t in Fiddler named Kelly and Meg, and OMG CONOR!!!!!!!! Conor was like one of my 2 BFF’s last year in Children’s Choir so I’m really psyched! But he’s not gonna start showing up for a few weeks cuz he’s in a play. I have no idea what play though lol

Dance is still fun… In Acting, Hannah and I are doing a scene called Above It All. It’s this scene about two girls, Kali (Hannah) and Jenna (me), who are on a Ferris Wheel. Jenna’s terrified of the Ferris Wheel, so at first it’s all about Kali calming her down. Then it goes to this thing about Kali’s parents being divorced and her dad calling even though the lawyers said he’s not allowed to. To be honest it’s really confusing me. In Live On Stage we’re doing “Nine To Five” as the opening and “Don’t Stop Believing” ^-^ as the finale. Our class is doing “She’s In Love” from The Little Mermaid and “Nicest Kids In Town” from Hairspray ^-^.

Rock Band is really fun too Depali (please please please tell me I spelled her name right…) and I are the singers, and Kevin (back from the summer ) is the bass player, and Nick and Mike (different Mike lol) are the guitarists. The teacher is Niko. So far we’re doing “Hotel California” and some other song I forgot the name of.

Asa cum am promis dimineata, adaug aici o parte (adica ce imi aduc aminte si ce reusesc sa gasesc) din reclamele care s-au difuzat la Noaptea Devoratprilor de Publicitate.

Professor’s Notes:

Dirty south fire. Definitely something you can vibe to. Tight beat produced by Natural Disaster, the same producer responsible for “Turn My Swag On” by Soulja Boy. The hook is undeniably catchy and practically begs you to sing along.

This is the kinda song that really gets the crowd involved and judging from the Team Infamous Myspace page they’ve been lightin’ up live performances in Atlanta with this track.

Teen Artist of the Year?

Team Infamous is young but they’re already making moves. Not only are they booking shows across the Southern U.S. off the strength of their single “Wassup”, they have also been nominated for a KIA (Knockdown Indie Award) by Tennessee’s Knocdown Ent.

I’m expecting some big things poppin’ from these guys in the near future. Support Team Infamous and vote them for Out of State Teen Artist of the Year here.

The Wassup! Campaign for Budweiser kicked ass even beyond my wildest dreams. And my wildest dreams were pretty wild.

I remember meeting Cliff “Where’s the Beef?” Freeman at an industry “top ten best ads of all time” party in New York in 2003. We both had ads in the top 10. Both were famous catch-phrase based ads. He said something that resonated with me. He explained “I didn’t want to be ‘the guy did that one thing’ ”. I can relate. Wassup! is a bit of a bête noire as they say in Belgium. But a great one!

At the time some ad people doubted my claim that I had a vision for this. and that vision was pretty much what happened: America screaming “Wasssuuup!”. I never understood that. Why is that so inconceivable? Is it that unimaginable that someone might actually know what they’re doing in advertising.? If only I had, oh I don’t know, some proof that I did. Well it turns out that I do actually.

Recently I unearthed this document. My partner Chuck Taylor (real name) and I put it together late in 1999. We were a bit bothered and worried that although the Budweiser client had nominally bought the Wassup! idea, there was comparatively less action on our idea than other ideas bought at the same time. We were still waiting for the money to be released.

I feared they’d had second thoughts. And I feared that those second thoughts were based on the racial makeup of the proposed cast. I was wrong about that.

So I suggested we create something that implied that the train was rolling. And present them with the idea again. Real professional like!

So we created this presentation. Note the date. A month and a half before the first spot aired. I was close to despair!

And here was my impassioned plea to resell the idea. I meant every word. And it pretty much came to pass. Phew!

And here was Charles Stone’s treatment. The “RAY” he refers to was the role he ultimately ended up playing so wonderfully himself. At this point I figured acting and directing might be too much pressure for him. I was wrong. He was perfect. He was a star.

I was so desperate to get the campaign done that I erroneously assumed that there was no way Budweiser would run ads featuring an all African-American cast. Their previous campaign featured cute and funny frogs and lizards. Call me crazy! So here I dangled the possibility of a multi-ethnic cast. Because I knew we would have to do at least some casting anyway. Turned out it was very hard to say ‘wassup!” correctly. We ended up with the original cast of Charles’ friends. Plus two new friends of his. Chemistry!

And this was the first script that I wrote to sell the idea. Has there ever been a less interesting sounding commercial script? I recall being really bored just typing it out.

You can see the short film the campaign was based on here.

And this is the finished product. If you compare the two you’ll see how faithful we were to the spirit of the original short. We Just sped it up and added beer really.

2009 Booth Follies. A parody of the “Wassup” Bud Light beer commercial. Starring Deans Snyder, Martinelli, & Kole and Prof. Erik Hurst. Written & Directed by Samarth Chandra

Quem, QUEM, não se lembra de Wassup? Clássica, vale a pena relembrar! (a original)

Wassuuuuuuuuuuuup

d-roc crankin dat shitt!!!! just found dat one of my co-worker’s father was with the a-town players……dope

NUEVO PROYECTO… 
            EN CONSTRUCCION…

40 years back the US defense administration had setup a system to connect a few computers and perhaps no one knew at that moment that this small matchstick was going to ignite such a big bomb – the internet.
Today internet is the answer to everything. Just by chance when I was talking to my sister today, the fourtieth birthday of internet, she was talking about one of her friend’s incidents in her school. One of the teachers asked her what a computer is. She described computer as a machine which could solve ‘problems’. Then the teacher using the simplicity and the extent of generalisation in her answer asked her if computer could solve the problem of him being unmarried. She could not reply then but was just saying that mentioning about connecting to internet and trying in shaadi.com could have helped that poor fellow .
We always have a new technology to embrace as we get up every morning and internet has a long way to go and of course never to stop. From studies to songs, videos, friends, business, shopping, dating and marriage, internet will be available soon for you to solve your more-personal-problems.
When we are talking about solving problems we should also be careful about how internet can create problems for us. While surfing in the internet we should always be cautious enough not to get lost somewhere in the tides…

Friends
For last 30 hours I was working on the registration process of new users in my website. My friends, who had tried to register, might not have got the password which should have been sent to their email ids with which they had registered. This was because of a technical problem which has now been fixed (or at least I think so ). So my friends please bother yourself by registering again.
Thank you.
See ya around.

I have posted the first batch of my videos and pictures. You may find the video taking very long time to load but the picture files are working pretty good. Feel free to post comments.

Leader Kim Hyun Joong’s half-naked upper body sents Japanese fans into a daze

For Japanese singers, there are 2 dream stages. One is the famous “Budokan”, this is an indoor martial arts hall in Japan, the other dream is Tokyo Dome, which can hold 50,000 people at once.

Korea’s famous group Dong Bang Shin Ki had previously held a concert in Tokyo Dome, back then it created much talk, because being able to successfully hold a concert at the Dome, not only is news-worthy, but also means this group or singer can attract 50,000 audience at once, this is a shiny dream for singers. On the other hand, as compared to Tokyo Dome, Budokan’s seating capacity is lesser, having roughly 14,471 seats, but this is also a dream stage for Japanese singers, because it holds a special significance to the Japanese.

Budokan was opened in 1964, back then in order for Tokyo to host the Olympics, the CEO back then worked hard to prepare for this building, after it was completed it was an awe and source of pride for the Japanese. During the Olympics, it was the venue for Judo, Aikido, Kendo, etc, various Japanese martial arts competition. Subsequently, wrestling matches were also held here, and after that, it became a venue for large-scale concerts and musical performances etc.

Budokan is named as such because the Japanese had looked upon it as “Japan’s sacred place for martial arts and Judo”, based on this concept, one can imagine how the Japanese feel towards Budokan. And in 1966, in an unprecedented move, Beatles became the first to be allowed to sing at Budokan, opening the path for other singers to sing at this sacred ground. After that, many famous artistes targeted Budokan when they came to Japan for concerts, the late Michael Jackson was another who had performed here before. Local Japanese singers look upon singing at Budokan as a lifelong goal, and its also an indicator of becoming a top singer approved by everyone, so its not wrong to name Budokan as a “dream stage” for singers.

Therefore, most Korean singers hope to either perform at Budokan or Tokyo Dome when having concerts in Japan. This is an understandable reality, and also a path that one must go through to prove one’s popularity in Japan.

Up till now, only a few Korean singers have successfully stepped into this sacred place, for example, a top Korean Hallyu star in Japan, Rhu Shi-won, Park Yong-ha, Rain and Dong Bang Shin Ki etc, but now, on the 13th, these lively boys of ours, SS501, have successfully entered the sacred place – Budokan.

SS501 had entered the Japan market and released Japanese albums from 2007, slowly letting Japanese fans know about them, even though they didn’t shoot to fame overnight, but they’ve finally completed the blueprint of their dreams. And the concert in Budokan this time round had 2 sessions, one in the afternoon and one at night, all the tickets were sold out. Starting from 13th noon, we arrived there and prepared for the interview, the sun was hot that day, the heat was stifling, but the fans we saw queuing remained enthusiastic, their faces were full of expectation and we could feel their love for these 5 grown-up boys. From the subway station till outside the venue, it was full of Japanese women, they had only one aim, to quickly see the SS501 that they support.

Within and outside of the venue were full of crowds, and of course the stalls that were selling concert merchandise were crowded as well, everyone enthusiastically discussed about which product to buy, from photobook to posters, everything was available. SS501’s fans, regardless of what product it was, as long as it had the faces of the members they supported, they’d want to bring it home, as long as they liked it, they were willing to buy it, this also led to many opportunities for sellers.

It was also this reporter’s first time to Budokan, feeling very nervous yet full of anticipation. As I slowly walked towards the sacred grounds for local and overseas singers, my anticipation doubled. The view outside the venue is really beautiful, letting visitors to fully understand Japanese culture, quiet, ancient and very Japanese.

Budokan’s interior is full of history, the whole architecture is very authoritative, a very high ceiling and the huge national flag of Japan, first floor seats are leveled, starting from the second floor it feels like a building that was made of one piece, its a rather impressive building, causing one to feel in awe while standing inside.

On this very humid and hot day, the people who love SS501 gathered together to support them, after entering, due to the large amount of people, the air within was very stifling, but everyone’s already in their seats, and the seats on the 2nd floor actually don’t have cushioning, everyone must have felt very uncomfortable, but they all sat and anxiously waited for the concert to start. As the venue wasn’t built for concerts, many seats within weren’t suitable, but everyone didn’t care, because its a form of approval to be able to enter and watch the idol you like performing.

Finally, Korean singers have once again successfully entered Japan, this is a very satisfying. This concert started 15 minutes later than it was supposed to, at 1:15pm, the lights suddenly switched off, everyone’s nerves were pulled tight, after a series of cheers, SS501’s first show in Budokan officially opened.

On 1st and 2nd August (Seoul time), SS501 had already shown their magnificent and wonderful performance to their Korean fans. Their stage for this tour is T-shaped, great attention was paid to the lighting on stage, and the videos that were played on the big screens etc, the dazzling stage effects once again proved how much the organizers invested, and also showed that the abilities of Korean megastars are worth investing in.

SS501 were dressed in black with gold ornaments, opening with fast songs and hot dances, using the familiar “Deja Vu” to heat up the atmosphere. The strong and powerful dance not only displayed strength and beauty, but also caused the 10,000 odd female fans to be immersed in it, the following songs were increasingly beautiful, SS501 totally grabbed the hearts of their fans.

“Hi, we’re SS501″. After the 5 of them sang together, it was time to chat, once the members said their greetings the screams from the fans were deafening. “We’ve actually been waiting for this chance, we wanted to try standing on this stage, now that we’ve done it, we want to share this satisfaction with everyone!!” But it was a pity that, perhaps the members hadn’t performed in Japan for a long time, so they weren’t very familiar with their Japanese, but the enthusiasm of the fans didn’t decrease because of this.

Actually SS501 really worked hard, with no translator present, the 5 of them were singers as well as translators, they really made a great effort. And of course, the most talkative was Park Jung Min, who’s ability to speak Japanese is the best, he can already converse in Japanese, but the other members can only carry on a simple conversation, leader Hyun Joong was his usually quiet self, its not clear if he had almost forgotten his Japanese, many times using expressions to express himself.

The whole concert lasted 2 1/2 hours, singing around 20 songs, and amongst them, almost 70% of the songs were fast dance songs, we never saw expressions of tiredness on their faces, only satisfaction, and the different charms they exuded. During the 2 1/2 hours performance, they changed about 6, 7 different sets of clothes, and rest of the time was spent performing hard for their fans, the fans who were fully immersed in it all felt that the time passed too quickly, and were reluctant to part.

Songs like “Deja Vu”, “Warning”, “4chance”, “A Song Calling for You”, “Hey G”, “Wassup”, “Never Again”, “Because I’m Stupid”, “U R Man”, “Fighter”, “Nameless Memory”, “Crazy” etc, along with the songs from their 2nd official album that’s to be released in September, SS501 sang it all for the fans, including a song that SS501 wrote the lyrics for, a song for the fans “Fan Song”, it talks about how they thank the fans that’s been by their side and supporting them all along, they’re grateful for everyone’s support that led to the SS501 of today.

The songs were linked together by the members’ solo songs, there was acapella singing, amazing dances, and also sexy elements full of masculine beauty within. But the most shocking is definitely Hyun Joong’s performance that came towards the later half of the concert. Dressed in a black, tight wifebeater, Kim Hyun Joong tore his wifebeater going along with the ups-and-downs of the song, showing his muscular chest and stomach, subsequently he even tore it off fully, and was half-naked, and a disturbance was created when he threw it towards the audience.

Although Kim Hyun Joong is famous as a small-faced pretty boy, but the shape of his body is very manly, so when he was half-naked we saw a muscular chest line and a beautiful stomach muscles, this caused the 10,000 odd audience to continually scream. The Yoon Ji Hoo in “Boys over Flower” that’s currently airing in Japan is this man on-stage that is full of masculine beauty, different from the gentle and quiet Yoon Ji Hoo in BOF, everyone is won over by Kim Hyun Joong’s sexiness and manliness on stage.

There was almost no chance for the fans to rest in the 2 1/2 hours, SS501, in the final encore songs, expressed their gratitude and love to the fans, enthusiasm and reluctance to leave interweaved throughout the whole concert, and SS501’s Asia Tour Japan stop also came to a close as the curtains fell.

Even though these 5 boys haven’t had much activities in Japan in the past year, but in this past year void they’ve never stopped being concerned about their fans. Singing at Budokan with the enthusiastic support of their fans, and unimaginably, under the circumstances where almost 99% of the songs were Korean, the fans remained supportive and immersed in the concert, it really is rare and touching.

Actually there were little accidents as the concert progressed, like the microphone being problematic, and the screen at the back not displaying the proper visual during intense dances, and also the little drops in atmosphere due to the members’ poor Japanese, even though there are still many areas for improvement, and the five of them don’t dare to say it was a perfect performance, but after seeing it, it’s not to point out what they lack, instead, what we see is seriousness and being responsible for the performance. SS501 had no rest in the 2 1/2 hours, their faces were full of enthusiasm and satisfaction, even though there was areas for improvement, they remained smiling, humbly and slowly expressing, everyone can see their hard work. This natural and loveable looks is the SS501 that we love, and their mistakes are also their right and privilege, everyone will only love them more.

Korean idols officially entering the Japanese market, they are our SS501. The next step, we hope they’ll be back with more fluent Japanese (?), the next time we want to see these 5 boys stepping onto the other dream stage – Tokyo Dome.
