My 22 hours in Philly were, I think, exceedingly well-spent.

#protomen #the protomen #world cafe live #philly #adult choices #good decisions #cheesesteakI am seeing my fav robots next week for the first time in nearly a year, which seems impossible but is nonetheless a true thing. Here they are last April playing an Act III jam in Philly; I posted some photos from that show as well.
Also, I have a ton of other live Protomen videos if you are interested in that sort of thing.
I feel like some of you might enjoy this brief clip of The Protomen playing Separate Ways during soundcheck. (See also.)
We’d like to give a shoutout to truly hardcore Protomen fan ShutUpAndJamza. He’s such a total badass that not only did he attend the November show in NYC while undergoing chemotherapy, he rocked out in the middle of the goddamn pit.
He’s got an incredible thread going with more photos over at Reddit if you’d like to read more.
Here’s to you, dude. Your unquenchable fighting spirit is what being a Protofan is all about.
Guess what? It’s the five year anniversary of this post, which means it’s now five years I’ve been friends with this cyborg motherfucker right here. Because it turns out shortly after that Reddit thread we went to PAX together and gamed some games and attended some concerts and spooned with some robots.
There’s a pretty great update thread on Reddit that you should definitely consume. Here’s to not dying!
This seems like a good week (or month, or year) to be reminded that the internet isn’t always unceasingly awful. Right now my Twitter feed is basically a dumpster fire, but there’s also this guy who I met on goddamn Reddit of all places five years ago and now we’re friends and better still he’s also not dead.
There was some discussion a while back about how shameful it is that the Drinkify entry for the Protomen is… a Bud Light. While I’ve been known to drink whatever shitty beer is available when the occasion calls for it, I figured we could do better than that. So I give you:
The Good Doctor
Bourbon for fightin’ strength, spicy ginger to nourish that rebellious fire inside, and a touch of cherry sweetness for your tender lil’ heart. Serve on the rocks.
This has been a favorite cocktail of mine for a while, and I have served it to both K.I.L.R.O.Y. and the Reanimator with good results.
I now have over a hundred videos in my Protomen album on Vimeo, but this is the very oldest, from my second ever Proto show at Santos Party House in the spring of 2010. There have been a number of changes in the nearly six years since I shot this (Nightwalker and Gunslinger are in this! Live violin! I didn’t even bother to get anywhere near the stage!) but it’s still one of my favorites and I still get goosebumps every time I watch it.

No worries! I don’t think anyone expects a quiet, sedate experience in the pit at a Protomen show. I’m glad it sounds like you had a good time!
nemo-in-slumberland asked:
Absolutely. Booze and the Protomen are two of my most favoritest interests.

My official code name is The Enabler. I have never really thought about face paint, though I have accidentally worn some before.
Last night was pretty much a perfect New York evening, the kind that makes me happier than I can say with my life as it is right now. And I don’t think there’s a better way to spend the evening of the 4th than at a picnic on the roof of the McKittrick, watching fireworks with friends & fellow drunks.
eleven years ago tonight! I believe this was the only 4th of july event the mckittrick has ever had, and it was also the first event held at gallow green.
