WANC 19: A Dinner with the Bards

Andrew and Marc at Frances O'Dooley's

This time around Jason, SueAnn, and Doz sit down for a meal and some conversation with Marc and Andrew from the Brobdingnagian Bards at Frances O’Dooley’s in Topeka Kansas. The Brodinagian Bards are a duo that performs an eclectic but entertaining mix of celtic, filk, and occasionally indefinable music.

Too much WANC. I’ll be blind by the time summer’s over. I’m not used to WANCing so much.

I figure that anyone with a podcast is way cooler than me. Especially a podcast ran by presumed ‘uncool’ guys who somehow manage to interview cool people. Could it be that the general public is being tricked into believing that the members of WANC are truly uncool. More research will need to be done but there are definite signs pointing in that direction

Since I’m not cool enough to be not cool, I must be the AntiWANC.

There were many legends foretelling of the coming of the AntiWANC and that time has now come. Go forth and spread the word that the AntiWANC has arrived.

Oh man, the AntiWANC. I love it. Could it be possible that we’ve become popular enough to warrant our own arch-nemesis? It’s almost like Crisis on Infinite Earths with the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor.

Wow, I feel special right now. When the fictional account of the origin and rise of the We Are Not Cool podcast is put into screenplay form and submitted to Hollywood, I’ll be sure that a place is reserved for the AntiWANC in the script. I picture it as kind of a cross between “KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park” and “The Muppet Movie”, only with a weight problem and hairy palms.

As far as us having cool guests, that’s more a testament to their coolness than ours. I am continually surprised how many cool people I’ve been able to talk to because of this show … and all through the power of pity.

Thanks man, you made my day,
Mike

Long Live the WANC!

There is never too much WANCing, your mother lied to you,you won’t go blind! We’re just lucky on getting the interviews. Here’s the secret to our success, we ask and they say yes!(I just might have to try this with the ladies…)

Thanks for listening AntiWANC!

The AntiWANC lives in Topeka…

I’d like to think of myself as more of an Elijah Price but that would up my cool factor too much. I could have been methodically creating internet disasters knowing that one day from the ashes of one of my brilliantly crafted ‘accidents’ a WANC crew would come out without a scratch. But alas, as I said before I’m just not that cool. Due to the coolness of the WANC crew, the WANC came to be which once again reinforces my point that WANC is not as uncool as they claim. Conversely, due to the power of the WANC an opposing force was destined to be spawned. Without the WANC there would never have been an AntiWANC.

And of course I’m from Topeka. It’s a requirement for being competing in uncoolness. Living outside Topeka already ups the cool factor of two of the three WANCers giving me a distinct advantage in the un-cool ratings. The next thing you know Doz is going to track down my IP address.

And then there was a knock at the door……..

I already have your IP address. SO do you really live near 15th street?

So there really was something strange out the window last night. I woke up in the middle of the night in a stupor and thought I saw a Sasquatch walking down the alley. By the time I got outside with my camcorder there was nothing there so I figured it must be yet another hallucination. Now I see it was probably just Doz trying to track me down. I’m sure he was just in the neighborhood hoping to I would have left some incriminating geeky evidence around the house; checking the trash for Infoweeks and poorly burned dvds. Well no luck yet WANCers. There is no stopping the AntiWANC.

Damn. Don’t you hate it when something is mistyped and you don’t catch it until after you hit submit (or ‘Hit it’). It makes me look more stupid than usual. It’s a minor mistake and I shouldn’t expect to live up to the level of the WANC but it pisses me off nonetheless.

Yeah I hate that. Why go outside and hunt when you can use use Google maps and live earth to do surveillance? Sheesh we Wookies ummm Sasquatches ummmm oh hell whatever have advanced I mean it’s not like we’re cavemen!
