Thread: 1989 Best Year Ever (Darkangel76 &Casketslinger)

The three of the guys walked into Lucy's bedroom and Nate saw Lucy trying not to stare at him. She always seemed to act like that around him and it always made him feel like he had a booger hanging out of his nose or something. Her eyes would dart around between Greg and her brother and then fall back on him and stare until he looked back at her and then she'd look away again. Nate reached up and checked his nose to make sure he didn't have a 'cliffhanger'. Ok so here's the deal! Greg and I were hanging out last night and we were watching Mtv and we got the idea of a life time! All these over produced video's that Def Leopard and Motley Crew put out, you know none of regular guys can really relate to that shit. It's all huge fireworks and makeup and fancy cars and shit... And we were talking about how there isn't any videos of regular guys like us. HEY....HEY LUCY are you fucking listening to me? Stevie stopped what he was saying to snap his fingers in her face to try to get her attention back on him instead of staring at Nate. Nate gave her a small stoned smile and walked over passed her to her bed where she'd tossed her Walkman. He picked it up and placed the headphones on his ears, hearing the driving bassline and pounding, almost tribal like drums. He peered into the clear opening on the tape player's lid trying to make out the name of the band playing. He liked it alot but had never heard it before. Hey Luce' this something new? They sound almost foreign. Good shit though! Never fucking mind that weird jungle music she's been listening to....I'm talking about OUR band! You know, Excalibur! WE are what Mtv is missing! Fuck the spandex and makeup and overproduced shit man, We can show the kids what they really wanna see. Real life Music being played by real life people and being fucking enjoyed by real life fans! Graduation is in two weeks! In two short weeks everybody is going to want to party their asses off before going off to college or starting some kind of shit job they'll be working for the rest of their miserable lives. Our idea was to throw the biggest most epic fucking party this school....HELL this town has ever seen. Invite everybody and get some kegs and a boatload of pot, hell maybe even a sheet of acid. Stevie went on with his sales pitch being as animated as possible. Yeah, I was thinking I could sell my comic book collection for cash, that should cover some of it. Greg added in, it was a big commitment too. Greg cherished his comic books and he had several thousand of them, some even worth a bit of money. So we were thinking maybe you could get some cameras from the AV club and we could film Excalibur playing to a crowd of insane drugged out and drunk teenagers going fucking berserk. You know like from different angles and shit so we could edit it together and make like a grassroots music video. We'd get crowd reaction, maybe some drunk sluts flashing their tits...you can blur that shit out in post production right? Stevie asked, concluding his pitch. Fucking brilliant right sis? Well you two geniuses have fucking thought of everything haven't you? Nate suddenly interrupted placing the Walkman back down and strolling over and picking up Lucy's game controller and randomly mashing buttons. Yep thought of everything other than the fact that a bunch of preppies and jocks are gonna fucking boo us and a video of that is gonna be fucking lame! Nate said as he started playing Mario but died almost immediately, before setting the controller back down. Come ON Nate! Don't be a fucking downer man...They are gonna love us man...That's the point of all the beer and drugs. We wait till everyone is good and wasted before we go on. Drunk people love live music, regardless of the genre, once they're properly socially lubricated. Well I think it's a stupid idea, but Luce is pretty smart, so if she buys into you two dip shit's plan then I'll go along for the ride. Nate said walking over to her and putting his leather jacketed arm around Lucy's shoulder. What do you say Luce? Thumbs up or thumbs down?
