The Zombies Ate Your Brain!

That's right! Our "Eating Your Brains" music video will be premiering on YouTube this Friday! You better be excited because if you're not, the zombies will eat you.

I Graduated! And Became a Zombie?

On Friday, I graduated from the University of Denver Publishing Institute. I can't believe it's over already! I'm so glad I had this opportunity. It amazes me how much I learned in such a short amount of time. Time to get out there and apply for jobs!

I don't fly home for a couple more days. Until then, I'm hanging with Breanna and her family. That can only lead to disaster and hilarity! Anyone get that reference? Probably not. Breanna's family doesn't equal disaster. Maybe hilarity. Today it led to zombie makeup.

We had to make due with what we had, but I think it turned out pretty well. We were filming for our next music video to our zombie song "Eating Your Brain" (Go to the She Likes Cloth page to listen). Breanna made the blood and happily ripped up shirts for the occassion. She also wanted to give me a wound on my arm. Check it.

That's made of glue! Then covered with makeup and fake blood. I think it turned out...gross. It's so awesome! Hopefully it won't take Breanna too long to edit the footage because I'm so excited to see how it ends up. It was so fun to make! You know I'll post it for you on here. Never fear :)

Well, I'm off to play some games. Maybe Breanna's dad will make homemade frosties again. Cross your fingers! They're delicious!

Happiness is...

Two hour long phone conversations with my mom
Chocolate pudding
Texting a continuous string of movie quotes back and forth with my dad
Seeing the positive and inspirational influence of my sister-in-law
Looking through old photographs I'd nearly forgotten existed
Music of nearly every sort
So much more

ConTour Part Twain

Here's a bit of what we heard last night from their youtube channels, yo!

ConTour

Whenever I see the word condor I have this incredible urge to say it long and loud and in a slightly weirder voice than my normal one. ConTour has a similar effect, but I'll restrain myself.

Last night, Breanna and I witnessed the ConTour as they performed in Boulder. We thought we were late, but much to our delightful surprise, we arrived just on time. Huzzah! The ConTour is essentially a tour of well known musically inclined youtubers. There really is such a thing. Most of them sing really nerdy songs, but they have some that aren't so nerdy too. Since Breanna is more of a follower of the youtube than I am, I thought for sure I wouldn't know very much, and I suppose I didn't know a lot of it, but I actually did know a good handful, which made me smile inside. Ha Ha! It was a ton of fun and they seemed to have a lot of fun performing. Everyone wins!

The tour consisted of Skyway Flyer (Jason Munday), Luke Conard of All Caps, Mike Lombardo, and Alex Carpenter of the Remus Lupins. The other half of All Caps, Kristina Horner, wasn't able to make it.

That's Luke getting everyone to dance crazy like. He told everyone to get on the floor, and once everyone was there, he told them to pop back up again. Of course, everyone did as they were told...except for maybe me as I was taking a picture of the moment. I think I went halfway down... Technicality.

We got to meet them afterwards. Breanna had them sign her Flip.

That be Jason.

That's Mike. He has crazy awesome piano skills. Also, he complimented my shirt. I think that earns him brownie points or something. Thanks, Mike.

And vice versa.

Can I say that although my red eyes and over smiling make me look a little crazed, I still look much better in these pictures than that one time I saw William Joseph in concert. I wonder if I can find that... Commence hold music!

..................................................

Found it!

Aw! Precious. I still got the red eye thing going on, but apparently I was so excited to see William Joseph that I gave myself a double chin. Gross. Well, he looks good. I'll just cut myself out of the picture. Ha ha!

The End of Harry Expressed in Lyrical Form

Remember that video not so long ago where Breanna and I sang about Pokemon instead of fireworks? Are you ready for a song about Harry Potter instead of the edge of glory? BAM!





This was fun to make, and I hope you enjoy it. There's more to come! This is our second of three nerdtastic songs, but only the second video. You can check out all our songs here. If you like, you can also keep updated with us by liking our facebook page, subscribing to our youtube channel, or by following our blog (Our blog is not strictly music related. It often deals with zombies.) We've named ourselves She Likes Cloth, so when we're performing all over the world someday, you can say you watched our humble beginnigs. Ha ha. More like this is fun and you should have fun with us too! So please watch. Feel free to leave comments. Tell us what you'd like to see/other songs you'd like us to parody. Breanna's got a bunch of ideas up her sleeve so hopefully we'll have a lot more coming at you (Hey, I have some ideas too...about a 2 1/2 of them...)

Hello There Colorado

Wouldn't you know it, I'm not in Washington anymore! For two weeks now I've been in the great and mystical land of Colorado! I don't know what makes it mystical...but it certainly is great. I'm only one person mind you, but I'm really liking my stay here.

What I'm I doing in Colorado? Learning about publishing, of course! I'm part of this great program, and I'm learning a great deal. But even with all this learning, I still make time for adventure (Ah, adventure!).

This past weekend, I went up to the mountains with my friend Breanna. We stayed at her family cabin. Our activities included shopping, swimming, hiking, watching movies, taking footage for our latest video, and stuffing our faces will all sorts of goodness. We also made a random stop at Buffalo Bill's grave.

Through our fun times, we took tons of pictures. I believe my picture count was something like 247. I was in a picture taking mood. After all, I have to document my stay here, don't I? The correct answer is yes.

On the note of stuffing our faces, if you've never had a roasted starburst, you must try one! Sounds weird perhaps, but it is worth it. Breanna and I cooked them over the stove as we were too lazy to make a fire and we didn't want to smell like smoke. Yeah, I know we're lame.

You know what else was exciting? I saw some moosen in the woodsen! Well, first I couldn't resist getting a picture with this giant stuffed animal moose, and then I saw the real moose, but thought it was probably best that I didn't get to close and have a raging moose charge me. Plus, one of the moose we saw had some baby moosens, so definitely didn't want to get too close to her.

So my experience with Colorado has been a good one thus far, and I'm pretty sure it will stay that way. It's beautiful here. It's been really stormy in the evenings lately, so I've been able to enjoy lots of thunder and lightning. Pretty darn cool.

One last thing. Last Thursday, I went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, what is wrong with you? Get off your butt and go see it! It's the epic closing for crying out loud! Yes, I'm being a little dramatic. Only a little...

In all seriousness, I really enjoyed the movie. I was a little concerned at the beginning that I'd hyped myself up so much that I was going to be disappointed. But in the end, I was pleased with the outcome. May I just say props to Alan Rickman? His performance was amazing, as was everyone's, but man he was great during those memory sequences! I just loved that whole bit. That and the final epic one on one battle between Harry and Voldemort. Awesome! That's my two cents. I could go on and on about it, but I think I'll stop here for now. Go see it!
