Terrapin Tables

Tickets can be purchased at the door. The show is supposed to take place at 11 pm, with 'doors opening' at 9, whatever that means. Still intriguing.

$10 is a great deal but just think how much the time machine is going to cost to make the show cool again...

This is so far beyond queer. Say what you want about Transformers...they blew shit up. They messed up evil-deors.

C&C Music Factory? Holy Christ in a Chickenbasket.

I need new friends.

Like Optimus Prime and Cy-Kill.

Make no mistake, I doubt anyone thinks it will be a great show. However, there is a novelty to it, and I'm sure it would be funny. Kind of like a caper movie where the main characters wear clown make-up.

how far are we all going back in time this week? i guess it's sort of a progression back to the 90s tonight then the 80s saturday. as much as i'd like to go to the music factory at jillian's (i agree with john there is much novelty there) i have a med school function tonight. see ya'll saturday!!! tell c&c that i really enjoy dancing to their music.

"Novelty" or just "silliness?" I mean, for things like this to work, shouldn't there be the guilty pleasure/self-embarassment oh-my-god-i-used-to-listen-to-this factor?

For example, I went and saw Firehouse a few years ago...remember "Finally Found the Love of a Lifetime" and "Don't Treat Me Bad?" See, '80s hairmetal has a I-thought-it-was-cool-and-therefore-now-its-fun factor that C&C just, well, doesn't.

It's not nostalgia if you never appreciated it.

Please don't tell me you seriously dug "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm..."

Chris, please tell me you don't believe the shit you spew on here. you do understand that different people can like different things, right? Couldn't someone else think that C&C Music Factory have a
"I-thought-it-was-cool-and-therefore-now-its-fun factor"? Cause God knows i think Firehouse sucks, has sucked, and did suck and never had the words fun and/or cool in any description I could give of them. To each his own my friend. :o)

That being said, is anyone actually going to this thing?

Wow. That's pretty harsh Pat, my spewing of shit and all. But yes, Firehouse sucked...they were among the worst of all hair bands, and that says a lot. I'm not now, and will never, defend them as quality music. But I used to really, really dig hair metal - my first ever tape was Slippery When Wet, and it was all downhill from there - so, in the sense that I was a reformed* fan of the genre, I was able to appreciate Firehouse and reminisce.

That being said, C&C came out in 1991 - the same year as the two Firehouse songs I mentioned. We were of an age to determine whether we actually liked music, or just enjoyed organized sounds. If anyone here seriously ever enjoyed C&C Music Factory as actual music, as I was honestly into Poison, Def Leppard, and such, I apologize for questioning your fabulous evening of Everybody Dancing Now. In this scenario I was a short-sighted dick.

But come on. As I don't see John, Rick, or Fatboy (well, maybe Fatboy) pulling on parachute pants and gyrating to C&C, I feel a need to question the reasoning behind a trip to thier show. It seems to me like idiocy for idiocy's sake; a waste of time and money.

Of course, Michelle claims to "really enjoy dancing to their music," but her and I disagree on pretty much everything, so I let that go :)

No more arguing. The spirit of TTables (speaking as one who had nothing to do with it's inception) is one of parties, drinks, and foggy memories of things that should either be forgotten entirely, or immortalized as shining examples of alcohol-feuled debauchery. So, lets get happier.

*Reformed or not, I still listen to Skid Row. Seriously, "18 and Life" and "I Remember You" are too wicked badass to let go.

For the record, I don't have any problem with you writing shit you think about on here. Whether you believe the spew or not, I know you just write it so others write other stuff or laugh at you or discuss amongst themselves. I know this (i blame overexposure to cartoons). And it is good times -- this is how this whole thing got rolling.

C&C Music Factory/Firehouse, we were 11, 12, 13 years old. I am 24 now, don't know shit about shit, so my tastes can be (and are) completely different than yours, or Rick's (Avril Levine Rocks!), or the homeless guy who listens to Wesley Willis in his cardboard box. They don't included C&C or whatever, but hair band music stinks. Take out the drugs and wa-wa peddles, and you have Air Supply jamming with Phil Collins. Eek. This makes me an equally short-sighted dick as well. We can split a 30 pack at the next meeting.

And most everything we do is idiocy for idiocy's sake. Remember the fireworks on the night of the hurricane? Jesus that was dumb.

Wait, wait, wait. Back that ass up.

Rick likes Avril Levigne? He really said that?

Or did he just say he wanted to hit it?

Oh well. I'm on record with Skid Row, and if any of you chose to spend time with Snapcase, At the Drive-In, Hopesfall, or Coheed and Cambria, you'd discount everything I had to say about music forever and ever.

While I was going through my Norah Jones phase, a copy of Sk8er Boi ended up on my playlist. It was a fun song to listen as I sat around my room drunk.

Parachute pants rock. I wish I had a pair. I think the appeal of C&C can be defined as 'kitsch.' Would it be bad if I paid 10 bucks to see MC Hammer do old songs? Cuz I would. And I'd entertain paying 10 bucks to see Marky Mark and I would definitely pay 10 bucks to see Milli Vanilli if one of the guys weren't dead. And I hated Milli Vanilli.

And I think Rick hit Avril Lavigne's stunt double.
