X-E’s Summer Megaparty: Begins June 20th!

After five minutes worth of careful deliberation, I'm happy to announce the forthcoming maybe-annual X-Entertainment Summer Megaparty! If you weren't here last year, the Megaparty is explained simply as a set period of time in which the blog will be updated on a daily basis. We did this all throughout August last year, and it seemed to work well enough. This time, I'm gunning to dance from 6/20 all the way through 8/1.

So, what will you see during X-E's Summer Megaparty? The beauty of it is...I don't know! What I loved most about last year's was the complete lack of theme or direction. One day, you'll get a toy review. Another day, a commercial download. Other days, I'll reach under my desk and write about whatever I yank out. Sometimes, I'll post a new entry shortly after midnight. Other times, 8 PM. It's lawless except for one rule: New blog entries, everyday from 6/20 through 8/1! Wheeee.

Hell yeah! You should do some fast food reviews! There’s tons of new crap out there right now and I’d love for someone who’s not me to sift through and see what does/nt suck.

Chestnuts roasted by Aaron @ 06/17/2007 8:26 PM

Wheeee indeed!

Chestnuts roasted by Me @ 06/17/2007 8:33 PM

Whoa! X-mas has come early this year. That’s good to hear, Matt.

Jessica: If you have the time you should check out some glass bottom boat cruises in Florida. I live about 2.5 hours south of Orlando in Palm Beach and the water and surfing is pretty good. Tons of marine animals. Click my name to see about a mile from my house. The sheriff warned my buddy and I about surfing after seeing sharks in the waves.

I can’t believe Stacy is 38!

Terrific! I had forgotten about the Megaparty since last summer. I do seem to remember that was a stretch where we did not get daily updates. Hopefully, this can be whatr sustain until Halloween and Christmas.

VERY awesome! I third Fast Food Reviews (as I’ve done it myself…moderation is key)

Also, I went to the Strawberry Festival in Mattituck, NY today which had its first ever Strawberry Shortcake Eating Contest.

It turns out it was an official IFOCE Event…in other words, and actual, real-live Competitive Eating Event. All of the non-Kobayashi “Legends” were there:

-Ed “Cookie” Jarvis (didn’t compete, was a referee)
-”Badlands” Bana…well, I forgot his name (also didn’t compete and was a ref, but sang a song off of his new Rap Album)
-”Eater X”, who won 2nd place (with his dad, Peter, who didn’t eat nearly as much)
-Big Mike (the event didn’t have shirts in his size)
-The Mad Greek (who is going to be in the Nathan’s hot Dog eating Contest for the 6th straight year)
-”Crazy Legs” Condi (who won 3rd)
-”Deep Dish”…forgot his name too, but he won by eating 15 1/4 lbs of that stuff in 8 minutes.

All in all…I never saw an official Eating Event before, and I gotta tell you…it was freaky as hell. One of the guys, forgot who it was, was a Champion of French Fry eating. Now THAT’S an event I can get into.

Stacy is so much more attractive now that I know she is older than we originally thought. I wonder how Kryssa is doing these days…

Megaparty pwns all.

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 06/17/2007 9:01 PM

Awesome. This announcement just made my day. And this time around, I might actually have time to participate in the coloring contests!

Megaparty – Greymatter = WIN

Chestnuts roasted by K- @ 06/17/2007 9:11 PM

Awesome. I loved last year’s MegaParty and I was hoping you’d do it again. :D

Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 06/17/2007 9:14 PM

Yay! Megaparty is the bees knees.

Bill – Awesome idea. My husband was seasick on our last whale-watch though…I’ll have to take along some ginger pills for that.

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 06/17/2007 9:23 PM

After looking up Wikipedia, I have found that it’s “Badlands” Booker, and “Crazy Legs” Conti.

And “Deep Dish”‘s real name is Patrick Bertolelli.

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 06/17/2007 9:24 PM

Whee! This sounds like all kinds of awesome.

Chestnuts roasted by Annette @ 06/17/2007 9:33 PM

yay. I am very excited about this. Definately going to help get through the part of the year where I wish the heat was over and fall was beginning. Very cool, Matt.

Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 06/17/2007 9:55 PM

Megaparty? SWEET. Last year I had internet HALF the time the megaparty was going on, so I am looking forward to this year’s! WHOOT.

Geez, Matt- you’re spoiling us!

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 06/17/2007 10:00 PM

Aw, I just realized I’m going to miss the beginning og the party! Crap. I’ll be fashionably late, I guess, next Monday. :(

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 06/17/2007 10:08 PM

Woot! A Megaparty and Vanilla Coke all in one day!

My husband went over to Buffalo today and he found Vanilla Coke at Wegmans. He bought us 8 cases, just incase we can’t find it here in Canada for awhile, or they decided to get rid of it again. We are set.

I went to a Strawberry Festival this weekend too at my moms church where she is in charge of one of the tables. It wasn’t very exciting, no eating contests, but I did have crepes with whip cream and strawberries, then I had a strawberry shake, later in the day I also had some corn on the cob, mmmmm.

Happy Fathers day to all the Dads!

Chestnuts roasted by IHAQ @ 06/17/2007 10:23 PM

Wooo. Summer is my favorite time of the year.
