Propeller Skies

[We here at Propeller Skies like Spiral Entertainment. Darren, Jordy, and Ryan are decent guys that always bring the hotties and plenty of them. However, recurring Propeller Skies writer Smoove D was less than impressed with the quality of the attendees at their most recent event. Your mileage may vary, hence this disclaimer - Ed.]

I wasted Saturday evening at Spiralween. This should have been a great event, as over three thousand people showed up. Unfortunately, the aforementioned three thousand people turned out to be the most unfriendly and cliquish crowd that I have ever seen at an event. In contrast, the crowd at Halloween Hookup the night before was extremely friendly and fun to hang out with.

At first, I thought my distressing state of sobriety contributed to my lack of satisfaction with the event. After further reflection and discussion with a recurring Propeller Skies character who also attended the event and was not the least bit sober, I was forced to conclude the people at the event were just wankers. Spiral is now on double secret probation.

The original plan was to shoot at Spiralween and then head over to Scary Party 4 and cover that as well. However, by the time I was done photographing I was tired and did not really feel like driving all the way over to the Masquerade to get a few more shots in. In retrospect, that was probably one of the worst decisions I have made recently. This was a terrible decision because Wednesday Night Drinking Club events are excellent every time. They always attract the kind of people I want to meet. And those people would be drunken hotties with loose morals in slutty outfits, or in this case, costumes.

Friday evening, recurring Propeller Skies character John and I stopped by Front Page News in Little Five Points (L5P). We were there to attend Halloween Hookup, which was organized by the good folks at the Rejection Hotline and Beneath the Noise. Front Page News in L5P is one of my favorite places to attend events, because they have a huge outdoor patio that is conducive to meeting people.

Previously, I attended a Rejection Hotline Party at this same location and had a most excellent time. Halloween Hookup would turn out the same, as the place was packed with laid back, friendly people.

Not only does the Rejection Line bring the hotties, they bring quality hotties that are friendly and interesting to talk to. For example, I ended up chatting for quite some time with a woman who had attended Oklahoma University. She was smokin’ hot, but I have standards. I would date a tea-sip before even considering going out with a Sooner. This reminds me of my favorite Oklahoma joke, which was told to me one summer in Luckenbach, Texas, while playing washers and sipping on an ice cold Lonestar Light. The joke goes like this: why do Oklahoma license plates read, “Oklahoma is OK?” Because they can’t spell mediocre.

I left this party with a nice buzz and a number from one of the aforementioned quality hotties. I highly recommend the Rejection Line events.

What the fuck? A humiliating OVERTIME loss to Baylor is ridiculous. Because the game never should have gone to overtime. Riddle me this, Batman. How the fuck does a team beat a good Oklahoma State team, in Stillwater, no less, and then go on to lose to fucking Baylor?

Since I am lazy, there have not been many photographs posted here recently. However, J. Mack Robinson has been on the job over at underground. So pay him a visit.

The title of this post was almost “Fire the Coach Part 3.” However, Dennis Franchione and the Aggies managed to beat Colorado in overtime Saturday afternoon. It was a relief to see the Aggies pull out a close game, although not quite as exciting as the Big XII championship they won in overtime against Kansas State a few years ago.

In related news, Florida gave Ron Zook the boot after the Gators lost to the worst team in the SEC. It sure was nice to see Mississippi State wipe the collective smirk off the face of Gator Nation.

I was feeling a bit suicidal on Saturday, so that evening I took MARTA to Buckhead. Much to my amazement, I did not get shot either on MARTA or in Buckhead.

I went to Buckhead to attend the USA Entertainment and Lindy Promotions West Village Pub Crawl. Unfortunately, pretty much no one else did. So, instead of crawling and taking photographs, recurring Propeller Skies character John and I sat at the bar and drank several two dollar Budweisers. [Propeller Skies does NOT endorse Budweiser in any way. We think it sucks. However, for the right price we will swill down pretty much anything - Ed.] While drinking, we were also brainstorming where the fuck we could go to take some damn pictures, since there were all of five hotties at the event. We ended up chilling at Churchill Arms with recurring Propeller Skies character Trey and some hotties.

I am less than impressed with Lindy Promotions’ promotional abilities. I have been to a few USA Entertainment pub crawls in my day, which were very well attended. In addition, USA Entertainment has brought the hotties to several other events that I have covered. I recommend getting a weather report from a friend on the ground before attending a Lindy Promotions event.

Well, fuck me. Maybe Dennis Franchione, Reggie McNeal, and the Aggies are for real this year. That was an impressively authoritative stomping of Oklahoma State on Saturday.

In related news, after November 6th, Oklahoma will not be whining about being number three in the BCS standings. Because they will be losing to the Aggies that day, for a number of reasons. First, Kyle field is a rough place to play for opposing teams. R.C. Slocum compiled a winning percentage of 0.853 there. In comparison, Steve Spurrier achieved a winning percentage of 0.931 in The Swamp. Second, Reggie McNeal is going to torch the Oklahoma secondary just like he did two years ago. Last week, they barely held it together against a weak Kansas State team. Finally, there is the small matter of revenge.

The Great Decatur Beer Festival was once a most excellent event. However, things have changed for the worse. First, and most annoyingly, the greedy organizers have developed a nasty habit of increasing the price by five dollars every year. This year, the cost of admission was a whopping thirty dollars. That would make it 17 percent more expensive than the Dunwoody Beer Festival and 33 percent more expensive than the East Atlanta Beer Festival.

Unfortunately, TGDBF is not 33 percent, or even 17 percent, more fun than the other two festivals. In contrast to the DBF and EABF, which have minimal lines, the lines at TGDBF are ridiculously long. Just to get in, people were sitting next to the gates at 10:30am. TGDBF does not open until 1:00pm. After waiting patiently for hours just to gain entry reasonably quickly when TGDBF finally opens, and in contrast to prior years, patrons are insulted with a four ounce commemorative tasting glass. Bloody fucking wankers. Both the DBF and EABF provided beer enthusiasts with a full sized pint glass.

I have been attending TGDBF every year since 2001 and had excellent times with some of my best friends. However, the ludicrously high price and weak glass leave me no choice. I do not recommend this event.

Friday evening I attended the Snake Nation Pig Gig at the Tullie Smith Farm, which is located conveniently in Buckhead at the Atlanta History Center. Accompanying me were recurring Propeller Skies characters John, Jason, and Sanket.

Attentive readers may recall that way back in June, I attended the Snake Nation Annual Summer Shake, which was put on by the same group. Although I was not overly thrilled about that event, it was far more entertaining than this one.

The best part of this event was the unlimited beer and wine, which we took full advantage of. However, it was fucking freezing out and there was a distinct lack of hotties at the event. There may have been some hotties in attendance, but it was impossible to tell, as everyone was wearing thick winter jackets.
