White Board Mafia

Based on that, guess which one I just ate. Anyways, life has been keeping me busy, as usual. While en route to a behind the scenes tour at Eastern State Penitentiary my car decided to take a dive. Across the fucking street. Smoking enough to make me think it was on fire, I pulled into the closest parking lot and all but dove out of the car. Turns out I shattered the coolant cap, the radiator is shot, the water pump is damaged, and a bunch of hoses are shot as well. Yeah, I love driving a wagon, but this car is killing me. Oh how I’d love to trade my Ford Taurus for a Dodge Magnum, but, it’s not in the cards at the moment. I recently cataloged all my CDs using this AWESOME software from http://www.collectorz.com and the magic number at the moment is 453 albums. It’s a little off because it’ll accept the Eddie’s Trunk archive, but there are a few double albums in there, but it counts as one album. A bit lame, but a very small hiccup in an otherwise awesome application. I typed everything in by hand, mostly by the UPC code, but if you have a scanner, you can scan everything in and avoid typing it manually. I recommend the software for those looking to categorize their collections, but I’m not necessarily a fan of paying to organize each different entertainment medium like CDs, DVDs, Video Games, etc. Then if you have an iPhone and $10, there’s an app for that. All negativity aside, it made organizing my collection very easy and it’ll help me avoid purchasing albums multiple times, even if Monster Magnet’s Powertrip was worth buying twice. That album rules. Anyways, check out the collection here

On the planning plate right now is the 10th annual Gathering of the Juggalos. This year is lining up to be the best one yet, for many reasons. First off, ICE MOTHERFUCKING CUBE. I’ll let that sink in for a moment. Then, once you’ve put your wig back on, GWAR is back to blow it off and split your skull. I feel like I’ve got a Golden Ticket. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m always excited for all the Psychopathic Family to perform, but it’s always interesting to see who else they bring in. I remember being incredibly excited for Kittie in 02, but they ended up not being there. Fucking lame. Powerman 5000 was beyond incredible, Drowning Pool tore the place down, Dope whipped the crowd into a frenzy, and Primer 55 rocked the fuck out. Not all that glitters is gold as Andrew WK might have been the worst performance in GOTJ. At least Bubba Sparxxx got a song in. On the JCW front, you’ll see the likes of 2 Tuff Tony, Viscera, Butterbean, Bull Pain, Ken Shamrock, and Jimmy Jacobs(clap clap clapclapclap). That’s not all, the Rude Boy is coming out of retirement for one more match against Abdullah the Butcher. After that, you’ll see the tower of terror, the Voltron of Juggalos, the JUGGALO WORLD ORDER in action. That’s right, Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Corporal Robinson face “Holy” Trent Acid and his 4 Alter Boys. The only thing Holy about Trent Acid is how high he gets. On top of that we get Motocross, JJ Walker doing stand up, and all the fresh ass flavor that comes with every Gathering! I plan on interviewing many people at GOTJ, from close friends to random Juggalos about why they’re there and what the Gathering means to them so expect some fresh videos when I get home. This will also include a special interview with Stabber Josh in the tradition of PT’er of the week. I’ll also be touring the Anheiser/Busch brewery in St. Louis and hitting up the Arch as well. August 6-10, mark it down for total devistation.

Before then Jezus316 and I will be attending Hank III on the 27th of this month. We’ll be celebrating Boomaga’s birthday this weekend at Wizard World Philadelphia and the party will continue at Kaiju Big Battel. Know about it. I’m starting to look into selling ads on the site so if you’re interested in that, or want your band interviewed for the site, hit me up. I’ve made a change to the forums, so if you want to post you’ll have to be activated by an Admin. This is in an effort to block against all the spam popping up. If you sign up for the board and your name isn’t activated in a day or so, email me and I’ll take care of you. Until next time Mafiosos, keep your eyes open and keep coming back.

I created a new forum today, Reviews.  Basically, it’s for all users on the forums to go review whatever you want.  Movies, TV, music, video games, it’s all free game.  I’ll start it off later with a review of the new P.O.S. album, Never Better.  I’m not sure how well it will work, but I’m open to giving it a shot.  The link is right below.

Looks like ROH inked a TV deal with HD Net.  Good for them, they’ve been at it for a long time.  The first tapings look to be taking place the weekend of my non existent birthday, 2/28 and 3/1.  I hope to be in attendance for at least one of the shows, preferably 2/28, I hope to see you there.

February 20th Velocity Pro Wrestling returns to the New Alhambra Arena.  The official press release is below.  The White Board Mafia should be in full force that night for the first time in many months so come on out and support indy wrestling. RAM JAM!

Velocity Pro Wrestling returns to The Arena (formerly the ECW arena)
Friday, February 20th, 8pm Bell Time
7 W. Ritner St., South Philly, PA
Directions: http://newalhambra.com/map.html
ALL TICKETS $15!!!

MAIN EVENT: Elijah Burke vs Jerry Lynn in an New Breed vs Old School rematch
At the fans request, we are bringing these two back to finish what they started. The last time these two faced off, they went through the whole building as Jerry Lynn told the referee that in “this house” we go with OLD SCHOOL, ECW rules which had the two of them going all ove rthe building, through tables and chairs and anything/anyone in their way. The confrontation ended in controversy and Elijah’s win came under scrutiny as he scored the pinfall on Jerry Lynn while his feet were on the ropes)

Josh Daniels vs John Walters
Two of the most impressive, technically gifted talents, not only on the Velocity Pro roster, but independent wrestling today, Josh Daniels will try to pick up his first VPro win against an equally impressive John Walters.

Amazing RED vs Shiima Xion
With an impressive win over Christian York, RED looks to be even more AMAZING in this battle between him and of the best and brightest singles competitors today!

The Logan Brothers vs Team Macktion
Fresh off a victory against the impressive team of Rob Eckos and Billy Bax, the Logan Brothers, Matt & Bryan will lock up with The Hardy Boys’ proteges, Team Macktion -Crazy K and Kirby Mack….(it should be noted that at Rob Eckos and Billy Bax have repeatedly demanded another match against The Logans and should Team Macktion not be able to make it for any reason, Eckos/Bax will be given that spot)

Bobby Fish vs Jay Briscoe
Japanese/NOAH sensation Bobby Fish captured the win in the last 4 way Fury elimination match but not without some fierce resistance and attitude from Jay Briscoe. Fish and Briscoe seemed to taunt each other more than they actually locked up and when Jay Briscoe was eliminated, Bobby Fish and him exchanged some harsh words and even more vicious stares.
Will “Big in Japan” Bobby Fish be able to Man Up when he has to face Jay Briscoe one on one?

Azrieal & Dixie vs Rob Eckos and Billy Bax (Rob/Billy are taking the spot originally occupied by the SAT)
Stipulation: If Eckos/Bax win, Azrieal forefeits his spot in the Final 4 way for the first ever Velocity Pro Championship title.
Rob and Billy can decide to put one of themselves in that final 4 way spot, or give the spot to any active member on the roster.

THE LAST of the FOUR WAY FURY SERIES contender matches….
Christian York vs. Sterling James Kennan vs. “M-Dogg” Matt Cross vs. (fans pick the last participant)???
With the conclusion of this 4 way ….the final 4 will go on to compete for the first ever Velocity Pro Championship title

After last show’s reunion, the newly reunited BJ Whitmer and Danny Maff return to the Arena, but for what/who????

Hello all. Its been a bit too long since we last saw each other. This weekend was Wizard World Philadelphia. Its a huge comic book convention that goes from city to city. I was unable to go on Friday due to work, but Saturday and Sunday were a blast. I met up with Toxik, of PT fame, and his girlfriend Friday night and headed off to Pat’s King of Steaks. 9th and Passyunk is where its at, unless you know about Jim’s on South. Word. After Toxik’s wig was split, then blown off, we headed down to the United Artist Theater on Delaware Ave to go see The Strangers. It was a decent movie but it almost had a haunted house feeling to it due to all the screamers in the audience. Since I didn’t care too much, the only guy to ruin it was the one that kept screaming OMFG. Lame. Sweet night. We split up after going back to his hotel so we could get some sleep.

I woke up around 6am on Saturday and just about rolled from bed to the shower. I made it to the Pennsylvania Convention Center around 7:50am. I texted Toxik a few times, but his phone was on silent. They let the VIP guys in, thats me, around 8:30ish. I checked in and got my heavy bag of Star Wars goodies and headed upstairs to line 2. Toxik and his girl showed up about a half hour before doors opened. The guy behind us kept asking Toxik about his leg, which is full of awesome Iron Man ink. That reminds me I forgot to get pictures of it. Every time the cost/time was mentioned the guy physically cringed. Anyways, we got in and I quickly realized I wasn’t bringing much home at all. I ended up nabbing 2 of the limited to 3,000 Alternate Universe Zoidberg figures. They’re from the episode where everyone traveled to alternate universes through the boxes, awesome episode. We also split a set of Skrull drawings from the Who Do You Trust series. We attended the Cup o Joe seminar headed by Joe Quesada. It was basically a huge Q&A session. Quesada is a funny guy. Lots was revealed including Marvel Zombies 3 in September, Lady Bullseye is coming, and they’re turning The Stand into a comic. On the way out they gave a print of some artwork from The Stand to everyone attending, even the asshole that won the 18K gold Iron Man phone. We went out to King of Prussia to get dinner and do some shopping, then called it a night.

I actually overslept, as expected, on Sunday. I got there about half an hour before doors opened. I had to explain the whole White Board Mafia thing to the creepy guy behind us in line who just didn’t get it. We played the Wheel of Doom and only got some comics, nothing sweet. The guy behind us got this awesome Chewbacca stature. Me wanty. We had out Secret Invasion #1 comics have customer covers drawn by the artist that drew those Skrull deals we got the day before. After that, we pretty much left. Toxik and his girl left, and I went to Kaiju Big Battle.

The Kaiju show was pretty good, as I expected. I was falling asleep so I slammed a Red Bull and vodka to keep going. The matches were only about 7-12 minutes and that surprised me. I was pumped to see Chris Hero since I haven’t seen him in a while. He ended up losing to American Beetle. The only satisfaction I took from that was it shut up all the people chanting for CZW. I’m not a fan of that company and thats pretty much all I’ll say. I’ll up pictures to the server later, until then, check out the Kaiju ones here. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v61/HiddenNinja666/Kaiju%20Big%20Battel/ I’ll probably also end up editing this at some point with details I forgot/fucked up. All in all it was an awesome fucking weekend and I can’t wait for next year’s. Toxik mentioned some ill stuff about Fort Mifflin, so we’ll be headed over there next time he comes down.

I also wanted to take the time to mention at PWU will be doing shows with another company and they’ll be held at the Skate Zone in Voorhees, NJ. Thats the White Board Mafia’s member’s hometown. Know about it and come on out. Until next time, keep it awesome.
