got lots of shit as is to be expected for not liking tropic thunder, dark knight, incredible hulk and iron man so i was feeling kinda detached from the rest of america. either my audience is becoming too conservative or im just too punk rock. that’s right i said it. (and if that sentence made you angry you just fell in a tiger trap.)
well let me just say that I LOVED THE SIMPSONS RIDE AND RODE IT TWICE IT’S BETTER THAN THE GAME AND THE MOVIE, ITS THE BEST SIMPSONS THING EVER!!!
see i can like on stuff.
it’s set up like krustyland, with a giant krusty head you walk through, and right next to it is a kwik-e-mart filled with flaming moes and buzz colas and everything simpsons including action figures and the original dont have a cow bart shirts. everything is simpsons, like you’re really in springfield. (i got a simpson ride hoodie for tour) waiting in cue was awesome, they have original content that’s all totally funny and really well written. better than the movie, the game or the tv show.
SPOILERS!!!! sideshow bob has broken out of prison and is back at krustyland seeking revenge. the simpsons go on the ride at gunpoint and right before the ride starts yp bob switches it from thrilling to killing. you get lifted up on hyrdraulics and ur at the top of a huge rollercoaster. its all projected on screen, but it’s so much fun and so well done, it’s prolly better than a coaster could be, because you can’t build all of springfield. but here you fly through krustyland, springfield and even the simpson’s home. professor frink catches you at one point with this harpoon thing right before you fall into hell and he flies you through downtown springfield. it rules and it’s funny.
you see pretty much everything and when you have high vantage points you can look out over the city and find stuff, like the big donut boy (you fly through the donut later on:) same with krustyland which is really funny. the whole ride is constantly making fun of amusement parks and how ruthless they can be for your dollar, all the while providing questionable food and service. it’s pretty heartless and true. don’t worry homer says, they won’t kill you as long as u have a dime in your pocket.
and when they’re aren’t showing new animation about sideshow bob or maggie growing fifty feet tall they are showing amusement park clips from the the tv show (in line i mean) and it’s all funny and awesome. you basically get to watch best of the simpsons while you wait in line and then the ride is awesome too. in fact i rode it twice. the park was raining and everyone was in ponchos so the waits were both fifteen minutes.
second time i rode in the back on the left and that wasnt a good seat so i rode it again front row in the middle and FUCKING LOVED IT, IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER. the way they send up jurassic park, disney world (little elves in panda land), pirates of the carribean: all awesome. and the ride is fun too. there’s even a star wars joke. the title of my blog is the best part of the ride. i took pictures of every single detail btw and will post. riding it twice is the way to go because there’s so much shit going on you don’t know where to look and there’s lots of little hidden stuff to find.
END SPOILERS!!!
afterwards we went to the comic shop where an artist was signing. the staff got me caught up on secret invasion and then didn’t let me pay. secret invasion five was killer and i cant wait to read old logan 2 with a clint long haired and blind, driving the spiderman jeep. maybe the comic event of the year. so good. no new kick ass. but new new avengers, a brand new day is finally over it seems, initiative and new warriors, im looking forward to mystery house 2. the comic shop was so cool to me. thank you guys! here’s a link to their store:

after that we went to wallmart to get socks and they had wildbill, barbecue and commando snake eyes. triple yoink! then i got dropped off at the social opened up the door, james was mic checkin, mc chris is in the house, he says. his voice sounds like the drunk guy from album one who spits on the cd. everything he says makes me laugh cuz its like that guy.
you have to understand. james is like jesus and god combined to me so the trick of this tour is not go all fanboy. turns out frank, lead singer of leathermouth is in mychem and i happen to like them quite a bit too. it was thrill to have him come over and say that he was a fan. i kept on asking is that why i’m here, is that why i’m here. turns out i did a show in jersey that had pirates, one of the pirates, hambone, called up james and said mc chris covers you in his show. turns out james had been wanting to get in contact with me for years to tour. gerard way from mychem had tried to get us together because i guess there was time when we both lived in brooklyn in neighboring neighborhoods. so it’s unbelievable to know that my hero has been trying to make this happen for a while. i’m so easy to get in contact with sometimes not having managers and labels makes it actually harder for people to get in contact with me because they just dont think that all they gotta do is hit contact on my webpage and it goes directly to my phone. oh well. at least it’s happening now.
i got butterflies for my set, because its not totally my audience and there might be some haters or whatever but i knocked it out the park. after i got off stage i met james in the green room and he said, what a hype man! i’m speechless! i should be opening for you, he said. can you believe it? he made mc chris happen, he made me think music could be funny and good at the same time, and now he’s speechless?!!!
i was just so happy, the ride, the free comics, my girl i text nonstop, opening up for my favorite band. i could retire tonight to be honest. i dont see how it can better than opening up for reggie and the full effect.
well…
i did have an ace up my sleeve all day. sixty minutes hollered at me. they’re filming my september 7th show. that’s right. MCCHRIS IS GONNA BE ON 60 MINUTES!!! in a piece on nerd culture and nerdcore. not something i usually want to be associated with, but im not gonna be stupid and say no to the biggest news show on tv. im actually hoping it gets cancelled and i dont mind jinxing it, because i dont want things to get out of hand and definitely dont want people to get sick of me. it’ll prolly get edited down to me saying nerds are assholes and then that’ll be the end of it. crucifixion.
the bus was awesome, huge bunks and more candies cookies and goodies than hogwarts. eating is the demon this tour. i was gonna eat all healthy and get super slim for my girl, but then anthony the tour manager’s mom brought four trays of lasagna. we been playin ninja gaiden all day, got stuck on the flying chrome boss. i’ve been trying to play this game all summer. quite honestly i’m in heaven. it’s my mom’s birthday today and i called her up and said, mom im gonna be on sixty minutes, and she replied, my little nerd. happy birthday mom!
can it get any better than this?
PLEASE REPLY IN BLOG AND TELL ME HOW IT CAN GET ANY BETTER AND I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER: SMOKING WEED WITH HARRISON FORD IN HIS TEEPEE ON HIS RANCH. (that’s next!)
