Title: F Plus Live: January 18th, 2020
Post by: Lemon on September 15, 2019, 08:53:53 pm
Okay friends, it's official. F Plus Live is happening again.

The weekend of January 18th we'll be once again gathering to read weird shit on the internet. This time, we'll be in Portland, Oregon, specifically The Lucky Labrador (https://luckylab.com/quimby-beer-hall/). Your friends Jack Chick and Jimmyfranks have scouted the venue and have found both the people and the beer to be lovely.

WHAT?
An entirely new concept this time around. With some prep work from Adam Bozarth, the theme of the evening will be "How To Put On A Live Show". One by one, your ridiculists will come up to the stage and will be randomly assigned content with the help of The Big Board.

(https://i.imgur.com/jS8KegT.gif)

With topic selected, the ridiculist has a set amount of time to read the content The Big Board has assigned to them. The other competitors of that round will be seated behind the ridiculist to make jokes with that content.

Winners will be selected by you, with the final winner receiving the coveted prize: a hat that says WIKIHOW on it in giant acrylic letters.


There's still more to be figured out, but January is a ways away, so for the time being, plan out some plane tickets and GET STOKED

Because I know I am.

Bring warm clothes, dress for rainy weather. The venue's on Quimby, near the Slabtown area in the Alphabet District. Streets are laid out in a grid, it's only a few blocks of off a main bus line (15) that runs nice and late. I'm so happy I get to go again! This will be fun!

I put in an inquiry with Grand Central Bowling for their event rates for something the day after Fplus Live. When I have the rates I'll update. If anyone from portland knows of other places that would be good, I'm all ears.

You know I was just thinking "Wow I sure hope the next FPlus Live is in Portland..." and here we are!

If you're looking for karaoke places nearby...ish, I like Voicebox PDX, always have a good time there. I would be down for hanging out with other people in other places in the city as well! My partner isn't a ballpit user, but she's also a huge fan and would hang, too.

I’m excited you’re coming to my home town! I was one of the very loud women in the audience from last year (sorry), so I figured it was only fair to warn you I’d be back.

If you haven’t picked a karaoke venue yet, can I suggest the Baby Ketten Klub on SE Powell? They have an insane song library, a great atmosphere, and very reasonable drink prices.

See you in January!

I've never been to Baby Ketten's karaoke nights, but they're supposed to be one of the best. They're also supposed to be pretty popular, so that would need to get factored in.

We actually held a friend’s birthday party there recently and they were really awesome about letting us reserve tables ahead of time, although that was admittedly on a weeknight. It might be worth calling them to ask.

I reserved a suite at the Hampton inn and suites about five minutes from the venue if anyone wants to use that for pregaming either that or the after party.
I’m going to be up from about noon on Friday to late on Monday. I’m looking to book some kind of hangout event for Friday night if there’s going to be enough people around in Portland for one. Right now I’m leaning towards renting some lanes at a bowling alley but if anyone knows something in Portland that would be cool, I’m all ears.

if there’s any escape rooms in the area that might be a cool thing to do. bowling also sounds like a really good time.
also, i’ll bring my switch with me so we can all play. i’ve got just dance and smash bros which could be fun things to take turns playing. we could even have a tournament.
if anything i think i’ll probably also book a smaller room at the hampton inn for myself (or maybe a couple others too if anyone wants to split room costs) for easy access to the potential afterparty, and so it’s easier to meet up with others if we’re gonna be doing other stuff as well.

There are several places that do escape rooms; my favorite is Labyrinth Escapes, which is reasonably close to the venue. Ground Kontrol is a good barcade downtown,  and you should definitely check out Powell’s if you’re nearby. OMSI’s a little further out, but it can be fun (unless you worked there like I did, in which case you can NEVER GO BACK).

If you find yourself with an entire extra day with nothing to do and you have a car, I would also suggest visiting the Enchanted Forest, which I once heard described as “the Uncanny Valley theme park.” It is as delightful as it is disquieting.

If we do manage to actually get there, I'm pretty sure we're going to have no real plans for what to do since my bf's basically only left the state a couple times in his life and the only time I was on the West Coast I was like 9, so. I'll probably just tag along for whatever other people are doing

Cool, yeah, let me know if you or anyone else does the Hampton and we can all split an Uber to the event. Should be cheap as is but I’ve always liked traveling in a group when I’m somewhere totally unfamiliar.
I’d be down for an escape room if anyone finds a good one.
Title: F Plus Live: January 18th, 2020
Post by: Hux on October 18, 2019, 08:46:41 pm
yeah if i get a room at the hampton then it’ll definitely be open for anyone who wants to save some money. and of course, uber to the bar/generally travel the area in numbers.
i’m really down for the escape room or that theme park. bowling and karaoke also sound rad.
and at the hotel we can each bring card games or some shit or even play f plus bingo when we get back. or an f plus drinking game, assuming we aren’t fucked up from the bar already. if the suite is open we’ll probably be spending some time there for the after party...or an after party, unofficially, because you can never have too many after parties.
i am excited.

So, with the afterparty being scheduled, and me not being able to find a bowling alley that does reservations that aren't stupid high end, here is the plan for extracurricular activities for anyone who is up for them:
I have a suite booked. Saturday I'll set up some apps and bottles of liquor for pregaming. I figure we can have a ballllpit meet from 10:30-1ish with snacks. Then we can head out as a group, get actual lunch, check out portland as a group, and head back to the suite to resume pregaming at 4 or 5, and head over to the venue around 7, 730. It's all about 5 minutes away. I'll play (terribly) against anyone who wants to throw down at MTG while we pregame. After the show, if there's a decent group of people that want to order some room service and play board games and whatnot, I'm cool with that, but only if it's enough people everyone is comfortable hanging out

i might be interested in that half marathon thing because i am an adonis and i haven't had a chance to actually do anything about it.

also: i have a switch with mario kart and just dance on it. if anyone's interested i could bring that along and i guess we could use it at the suite. i have the two joycon remotes and a regular switch remote so if anyone has more remotes you should bring them along to make sure there's enough.

i'm not used to drinking so i'm probably gonna take it easy since i don't know how my reduced bmi will affect my alcohol tolerance. but at the same time, i feel like getting massively drunk in an unfamiliar place far away from home surrounded by near-strangers is a rite of passage to true adulthood.

The F Plus does not condone betting on outcomes, which is a crime.

If you were to bet on outcomes, you could give one point for every correctly guessed finalist, and either 2 or 4 points for correctly guessing the winner. You could then lobby other attendees at the event to vote for the winners you have preselected. The F Plus wouldn't condone any of that.

I have a zipcar membership and here is why I don’t recommend it: you have to wait for a special keycard to come in the mail. Plus, it is a bit more expensive than using rideshare. Unless you have to haul something, I would recommend any rideshare app instead.

well so traffic in portland is the opposite of bad traffic everywhere else. everyone here is a PASSIVE driver. it is not uncommon for 4 cars to arrive at a 4 way stop and then just nothing fucking happens for several seconds.

public transit is perfectly adequate, and the city is mostly flat so its not too bad to get around on a bike for most destinations.

public transit is perfectly adequate, and the city is mostly flat so its not too bad to get around on a bike for most destinations.

Yeah i forgot to specify. I'm so used to Oregon traffic.

The F Plus does not condone betting on outcomes, which is a crime.

If you were to bet on outcomes, you could give one point for every correctly guessed finalist, and either 2 or 4 points for correctly guessing the winner. You could then lobby other attendees at the event to vote for the winners you have preselected. The F Plus wouldn't condone any of that.

OH GOD LESS THAN A WEEK SO HYPED YESSS

but i just realized i get there a little after midnight on friday. and i think i have to wait till 4 pm to check into my hotel, according to the reservation. if anyone's staying at the pearl district hampton and has a room on thursday, i would like to humbly request that i crash there for a couple hours just to sleep(on a floor or chair, not even using a bed)
i'm willing to pay like half the price of a day's stay in exchange.
unless it's considered acceptable to fall asleep on one of those waiting room chairs at the airport. or in the hotel lobby. with a big-ass suitcase. i will figure something out.

also! i'm assuming that we'll be doing that zipcar thing to get to the show itself. as far as other activities go, are we gonna split up or kinda travel in a group? like are we all gonna collectively decide on something cool to do and go together, or split into smaller groups? especially since there's gonna be a group of us at the hampton. we've got a whole weekend so i'm guessing we're gonna tag along with various other people throughout it.

also! is it too late to suggest we do one of those murder mystery games that we did over discord?

I'm not at the Hilton but if someone ends up needing a place to crash Friday night, I think my room will have a couch. Also Hux your best bet to get around, from Bozarth and other people's advice, would be to split an uber or public transit.

I think we're going to visit that puppet museum, maybe we should coordinate to meet there, like Saturday afternoon? or call ahead as a tour group?

Friday I'll be at the MST3k, I'll try to wear my F Plus t-shirt. I plan on visiting the Freakybuttrue (https://www.peculiarium.com/) place before that. I definitely will find time to hit up some local book stores too, at least Powells, but probably also Burnside. I require obscure paperbacks that smell like pipe tobacco or grimoires that smell like birthday candles.

I'm so fucking excited you guys!

In my experience there are too many people and not enough time. I'd settle on one and maybe have a second if you're really feeling it. Also I'm pretty sure the queue is blanked before the event begins so i wait to submit until you're actually there.

Expect to have the opportunity for 1-2 songs. I wouldn't add anything to the queue right now as I'm just going to clear it out before we start on Sunday. When the party starts, people can add songs to the queue and I'll adjust the playlist as appropriate to give everybody a fair chance.

also this offer is pretty much open to everyone since it might be fun to meet up in a group and explore. if not now, then maybe before the show itself?

Sunday brunch plans are being organized. Dm me for information or to RSVP (+1s welcome but for the love of God tell me about them in advance)

Expectation : I will be reserving a table for 8-16 (so tell me if you want to come), at 11/1130 at a restaurant in the Pearl District (near the Live 8 location). Expect to pay 20-25 after tip and gratuity if getting a breakfast and a (nonalc) drink. If that's a little rich, Cheryl's on 12th has breakfast items for like 13-20 pre tip and I can reserve there instead. Thanks! Please be in touch to RSVP before Sunday, and before Live would be even better. I'll send out full details once I make a reservation.

Current brunch count as of last edit: 12, full, thank you

i dunno if there's enough people for the room, but what i do know is that i'm gonna be going to the saturday morning market. it's from 10 to 5 so i'll probably be chilling at the hotel until then, if anyone wants to meet up (or rideshare if you're at the hampton) then let me know!

i had fun at the bookstore yesterday with zekka and diploskull despite my near-death experience with a scientologist. zekka can tell you about that.

i only said that loud enough for you and diploskull to hear me, i didn't see that other dude that was RIGHT there! and he didn't look like a scientologist at all!
anyways i'll probably head out to the market around 11 so i can see if anyone wants to meet up before then, otherwise i'll just leave and maybe meet up with someone there. we will see.

Hello! I'm in Portland and my brain still thinks I went to bed at 2am. Is there a Discord server or anything I can join? I'd be happy to meet some of you guys before the show.
constantinople, January 18, 2020, 11:13:07 am
not that i know of. i've mostly been posting in the thread about stuff i'm planning on doing and we just go from there. a few of us were thinking of trying an escape room but i'm not sure how many people we need.
Hux, January 18, 2020, 11:19:47 am

ok so apparently the market is closed during january?
instead i'm gonna go to OMSI.

if anyone wants to come and meet up, my discord is Ress#9829
i'm wearing blue lipstick and a white snapback with angry eyes on it. i've also got a little backpack with a glittery robot on it.

the escape room offer is still open since people here and there have been expressing interest. ideally we'd do it between 4-6? if not today then maybe tomorrow after the brunch thing.

i'm not sure! just got back from that museum thing with dr buttplug. i know he's interested and zekka might be too? along with constantinople.
we'd have to do it in like the next hour or so i'd say, otherwise we can get a group together tomorrow after the brunch.
the two of us are still kinda looking around the area. we just ate at norineko which was absolutely fantastic, and if the escape room isn't a thing then we might go back to powell's books because that place is great. if anyone has any other ideas for places to visit then lemme know because there is a lot to do. still got 4 hours to kill before the show, after all.

Hey, since it seems it slipped your mind last night I'm just gonna ask you nicely one more time.

Please don't interact with me at karaoke tonight. :) I figured since I've told you twice already I'm uninterested I'd just give you a little reminder. Because it appears you forgot last night when you kept coming up to me. :) :) It's okay. I won't be seeking you out or anything so we should be able to participate in a mutually enjoyable event without any of this having to matter. I had hoped that was clear from my first lengthy message about why I was not interested, however when you messaged me again under a new account name with the following...

I haven’t logged on to ballp.it in a bit, but looking at posts, you seem to be doing really well (which makes me happy). I look forward to the live show next month and I hope we can meet in person and, perhaps, try again. 
I felt compelled to write a more terse message that said more plainly "please do not interact with me at f plus live."

Both things seemed to get misinterpreted somehow, so here it is, one last time: do not interact with me at karaoke tonight. :) :) :)

i got to touch bunnybread's pec(with permission, of course) for a solid 15 seconds while standing on stage with all of you crazy motherfuckers. if anyone got a picture of that, please send it to me.

also, i got close to 2 hours of footage of the karaoke party. the parts i didn't record were due to me vibing too hard or having to rest my arms. i will send the best parts to lemon, and if you sang a song and want to know if i have the footage then pm me! i won't post or send anything without permission.

wish i couldve gotten more pictures, but we were down to the wire on time and i wanted to experience the event more than i wanted to document it.

i made a bunch of new friends!
i bought all the merch!
everyone did an amazing job!
i'm honored to have had the chance to attend and also GET ON STAGE?!?!?

Okay. I'm on the bus back home. Time to share my thoughts.

First and foremost, I want to express my deepest, heartfelt gratitude to Sangy, Nutshell, Tuttle, Chai, Frank and Zekka. I got to spend so much time with you six and it was great to laugh and share with you all. Thank you.

Secondly, but just as importantly,  Ridiculists, you made me feel so welcome and comfortable. Sharing the stage with you all and learning more about each of you was more than just an honor, it felt like i was being welcomed into your home. You're such warm, supportive people. And I can't express enough how secure and happy i was joking and performing with you all.

Lastly, and most certainly not least, all of you who came out and cheered and laughed and sang... you all expressed your happiness and it made the room among the best places anyone could ask to be. And you were all so kind to me for my first time on stage. I loved laughing with you.

F Plus Live continues to be the highest point of my year. I can't express enough how important you all are to me. You fill a place in my life I never really knew could be filled and I'm better each day for knowing you.

Now it's time to go home and get ready to read more dumb bullshit with my dear friends. Stress, Gany, Dr. A... Adam gave me a wonderful present and you're all gonna get a crack at some of it. Dij, Julia, Heave, Beelz, Malt, Mix, you're in for a "treat" that will fill the void until the live audio is out.

Okay. That's enough for now, but know that there's more i could say and a lot more that I feel. Words fail though. So...

Thank you!

I assume I will be receiving a bill from Lemon for all of the [yayvictor] pennants I threw into the crowd.  Worth it, even though it wasn't enough to get me more votes than Heelies' titties.

I think I write the same thing every year after these events...  There simply isn't enough time in the weekend for spending time with old friends and also making new friends, but if the trip was any longer I am certain I would die.  40 ain't no joke, kids.  I'm back on eastern time and I can't sleep and I think I hurt my back sitting on a plane.

I got to spend some time talking with some of the fans and it's still surreal and so wonderful how much you guys like us (and me in particular, some of you [yay]).  I am grateful that you come out to see us, and that you share stories about how the F Plus helps you all in times of trouble.  Every single ridiculist appreciates hearing your feedback. 

Lemon, Boots, Adam, this was both the best concept and best execution of F Plus Live.  Thank you for all of the work you do.  I know you enjoy it but I also know it's work and I am grateful.

Jimmyfranks remains the unsung hero of the live shows and never gets the recognition he deserves for his work behind the scenes.  I see you back there, Jimmy, and I love you.

I could write so much more but I am going to try to sleep.  One last thing - please remember folks, as you share pictures and video, that not everybody is present on social media, etc.  I would imagine nobody minds sharing here behind the paywall but please be respectful of privacy when you're posting on whichever social media thingy the kids are into these days.

My stealthy and wanted-star-free exfiltration from the Portland area marked the completion of a great and successful heist. 

The mark?  Victor Laszlo.
The booty?  The Hat Of Answers

         . . . I mean . . . Bunnybread.

In all seriousness, it continually astonishes and humbles me that everybody enjoys us doing this thing.  Every single person I interacted with was so genuinely awesome and excited to be there, it really is infectious.  Thank you so much to everybody I got to talk to.  To those I didn't get to talk to, I'm sorry I was probably distracted by being drunk and laughing too hard. 

Thank you everybody for coming out and for bestowing upon me this incredible honor -- not gonna lie, I spent a good portion of the drive back to the bay area with no small amount of existential reflection upon the fact that a bunch of amazing people pushed buttons on their phones with a picture of me holding a sword and thought me worthy of a hat.  It made me very happy.  Then I remembered that 'bay' and 'area' were the first two letters of B.A.B.E.S. and got very sad, but such is the nature of emotional entropy and the internet.

Also a couple of other nominations for particular incredible merit this year:

There's not much extra I can add:

Jimmyfranks: holy hell every year you stress yourself to the max to bring excellence. This year you were doing tech, talking photos, AND competing. Live would not be as technically sound and rad as fuck without you.

Bozarth: Thanks for not killing us, sourcing the prizes, and compiling/writing a hell of a show. The custom game show opener was an amazing addition. Also, fuck that completely off the cuff Daniel Songer bit at the end was fucking stellar

Boots: Thanks for very catchy custom tunes, especially since you did it between 2 cover songs. And for setting up karaoke and doing the opening number! Also thanks for letting me take Danny Nadelko. IDLES is so good y'all.

Bunnybread: I'm so, so glad you invited me to sing Dragula again, that shit is so fun to sing.

Lemon: You made an entire board, and even gambled against the Javascript gods and won. Every year you bring so much enthusiasm and love to this dorky crowd. It's worth it every time to come, no matter what happens

A side thanks to Sauce, Spooks, Bozarth, King Kalamari, and Portaxx: Hot damn folks when the coloring books get online please buy one, they are magnificent. When it was pitched it started out as "Oh haha you know those terrible adult coloring books? We should do one!" and then every one of these fuckers turned in gorgeous illustrations, all for the love of the podcast.

There are so many things that were amazing and so many lovely people. This truly is the best podcast  extra credit is also good you should listen to that too

I had a shitty last few months for some personal reasons that don't need delving into.  This whirlwind tour of alcoholism and giggles really helped to distract and re-focus so let me echo everyone else and say that was delightful.

This might just be an emotional breakdown from a near-lethal lack of sleep. However, I am touched that so many folks had such a good time and everyone gets along beautifully at these things. It is heartwarming to see a bunch of folks from all over the damn world have a good time and hug the hell out of each other.  I'm glad Ballpit exists for nice nerds to connect with other nice nerds and build relationships that might have never happened, otherwise.I selfishly go to these so I can be the real me for a couple days and see some bros. 
Ten years ago, I was terrified to even meet Boots and Bump in Chicago.  I thought internet people were going to chloroform me and put me in a dungeon no matter how nice they seemed when chatting online.  Now, I count y'all amongst my realest and bestest real-life bros.  Consider this post a big old verbal hug (and grope) from Bunny.


Now, I wrote all the intros for our competitors and, because I like writing stupid shit, I overdid it.  I wrote for alternates. I wrote for the bonus round.  I wrote some in case we selected anybody from the audience.  There were WAY more than this but I thought I'd re-purpose a few to represent the folks I enjoyed meeting (or seeing again) over the weekend. I was drunk as fuck, of course, so please excuse me if I got your name wrong. I'm doing my best by piecing things together from this thread.


~She's the Lead Taste-Tester for BadDragon.com's lube division. From Whip and NaeNae, Vermont, ViviVixen, Come on Down!!!

~He's the content mediator for SissyKiss.com.  From LoadingBigOldAnimeTittiesMod, Delaware, welcome to the stage, GUY-WHO-HAS-MY-BELT-NOW!!!

~Currently serving on her 3 year proselytizing mission for the church of Pastafari. This competitor comes to us from the dumpster behind that KFC down the street. Let's give a warm welcome to Ganymede!!

~She's a caricature artist who works exclusively in glitter, legos and semen.  From WilhelmScream, New Mexico please welcome ChaiTeaLatte!!!!

~ When he's not serving as a body double for Zoe Saldana, this competitor is co-president of the "Fallout 76" fan club.  From AwwHellNotOnTheRug, Florida, Turtle come on down!!!! 

 ~Welcome to the stage, the Founder and Co-owner of the Pussy-Popping-Handstand-Dance-Academy-for-Boys, Hux!!!!

~Currently serving as Sous-Chef for Soylent, LLC,  From FrogChlamydia, Wyoming, let's welcome to the stage, LoveLadel! 

I also loved meeting the cool old bearded dude who has good taste in karaoke rock.  You may have said your name but, as mentioned, I was pretty damn drunk.


Now let me give some specific thanks to folks I love. This isn't everyone but it does cover a good deal of what I can remember.

Bootsy- Thank you for being the bestest goddamn Karaoke master and worstest cocktease when it comes to kisses. I hope to catch you at some point later this year.

Bumpy- Thank you for taking it easy on me during arm wrestling. I know how goddamn ripped you've gotten and I appreciate you preserving my fragile male ego.

Lemony- Thank you for the beautiful, shiny, divine jacket.  I got a LOT of compliments throughout the night.  You should consider all of them vicariously yours.  Especially the 'Nice Jacket' whispered to me by some random dude while he grabbed my dick. It made my cold wait for the cab a little more interesting.

JimmyFranksy- Thanks for making it possible to hear everything. Some may disagree but I think the audio component of a podcast is pretty damn important.  Also, I need that one pic you took with me in the jacket.  I'm gonna be jerkin pretty hard to that.

Bozarthy- Thank you for your continued support (both financial and spiritual) of the Mayor Pete -2020 campaign.  I feel it, baby.  We're gonna do it this year!!

FrankyWest- Thank you for performing a perfect Wavedash for the filthy fucking Casuals in the audience.  Semper Games, bro.

Squiddy - Thank you for being my shoulder to almost cry on.  Relatedly, Thank you for having that sound machine. I would have somehow gotten even less sleep if not for that. 

JackChick - Muchas gracias por cantar conmigo. Buena suerte con tu nueva vida y tu nueva esposa.

Achilles - Thank you for unearthing that old indie folk record we somehow both knew.  However, you stole a rightful VICTORy from a certain someone.  And you did it with the cheapest move. Toplessness.  You should be ashamed.

Kumquat - Thank you so goddamn much for the new belt.  That shit was flossy as hell and functional as fuck.  My pants would've been around my ankles the whole night, otherwise. You are easily in the top ten XFL cosplayers of all time.

STOG - Thank you for deciding the House of a thousand weirdos was the optimal time and place for you to experiment with drugs. But really, just thank you for stayin as Stog as possible.

Victor - WAS GODDAMN ROBBED.

Everyone who participated, attended or had anything to do with the past weekend is O fuckin K as far as I'm concerned. I know I missed folks because I'm very tired and very stupid.

Y'all are great.

I like you people so much I paid ten dollars to talk to you.

As a sort of Old Weird Outsider to this whole mess, I was pretty gobsmacked by how engaged, funny and absolutely p*o*s*i everybody was in Portland. I've played shows to extremely uninterested audiences and it's deeply painful and this was the absolute opposite of that. What a great experience and I'm so delighted that I was able to be a part of it. Y'all great. If anybody tried to make conversation with me and didn't get the response they might have expected, I apologize: I have a sensory processing disorder and sometimes "That Shit Don't Work, Hoss!" but it's no reflection on you as a person. Just... That Shit Don't Work, Hoss! I couldn't turn what you were saying into words!

V. eager to hear the recording and get all the jokes I missed.

Hello, another denizen of the Loud Table Up Front here, popping over from the SA thread to say thank you for another amazing show.  I can't get over how nice you guys are and how much care you put into making the audience experience something truly exceptional. 

highlights include finally being brave enough to hug bunnybread and getting way more f plus swag than i paid for.

sadly victor was not able to supply me with a drink recommendation this year, as he proclaimed it was all crap.  Nonetheless i did manage to get drunk, though it took a lot of bravery

I love all you weirdos

I was really worried, since I'm a bit distant and don't post here very often, that I'd feel i like an outsider among the community at my first F+ Live, and I was completely wrong.  I've never been in a room where I was so excited to meet every individual person, and instead of a collection of people with a common interest this now feels like a giant network of friends that I've just scratched the surface of, and I can't really adequately explain to people who weren't there what a powerful, positive experience it was (I've tried!).  Sorry if I came off a little dumbfounded at any point, I get tonguetied when I'm meeting people sometimes.  I hope this is an experience we can share with others for many more years to come, because you're all too incredible to experience in just two days.

So now that I'm mostly not-hungover, I thought that I'd put in a few more specific thank-yous to some people I got to talk to (mostly about karaoke night because that is the one I actually remember) in no particular order:

-Lemon for being exceptionally kind to me in both my extremely drunk and mostly-sober states, ESPECIALLY for putting up with my semi-coherent heckling. I do actually remember the intended contents of The World's Longest Heckle, so lemme know if you decide you want to subtitle that part of the video (or just leave it as a mystery, I'm honestly not sure which would be funnier).

-jack chick for trying to teach me how to headbang properly - both my neck and I are very sorry that I failed to listen to your expert advice.

-Nutshell for looking at my kitties and showing me yours in return. :3

-Shell Game for rocking the hell out of both the best hat I've ever seen AND Alanis Morissette.

-King Lou for talking with me about teaching and improv.

-Kumquatxop for the greatest autograph I have ever received, and for the Ultimate Electric Six Karaoke Experience.

-Frank West, I actually feel I owe you an apology for not spamming voting harder for you when I realized it was glitching. I am so sorry.

-bumpgrrl for talking with me about Gunnerkrigg Court ships and our mutual hatred of Loup.

-Boots for doing an incredible amount of work for the show, especially karaoke. Not only supplying your own setup, but expert queue management and really cool intro cards from what I could see on the monitor.

-Jimmy Franks for doing a ton of tech work and just in general being an awesome badass.

-Bunnybread for singing karaoke with me on absolutely no notice, and then doing it more justice than I ever could have, AND for giving me my own gameshow intro (!!!). Also I think something happened to my husband? He took your torn shirt and retreated into the shadows, hissing like a wild animal; I haven't seen him since. :(

-Hux and her mesmerizing jacket for being my co-heckler on Saturday and for her videography of karaoke night (seriously though, please send me Bunnybread vids - I think I can use them to lure my husband out of hiding).

-My friends for coming to my bullshit town and hanging out with me the whole weekend. You are the best internet cabal a girl could hope to have.

-Genuinely everyone that I talked to/drunkenly rambled at this weekend, you are all amazing and I had so much fun. I am sorry I didn't get all of your forum handles so I could thank you individually, but I hope to see you again (and maybe be less drunk).

Let's do it again next year!

Didn't get to spend as much time hanging out as I would've liked because of maybe 35% anxiety 65% legitimately didn't have time to stick around, but the show was great and it was good seeing everyone again/meeting a few people for the first time! Maybe someday I'll have the nerve and time to actually talk to people more, "lmao"

Thanks to everyone who came to the show and made it such a rousing success! I was very very very nervous before and during the show. So, if I seemed weird, it's because I am a strange person who put himself into a high-stress situation.

Thank you all so much for the kind works and compliments and reassurances. I don't really do docs or research material for the show, and I had no idea if the material I selected was the right kind of stupid. By the 2nd round, it seemed like it was gonna work after all!

I came up with this idea last year of having a show where the content was random. During F Plus Live 6, I thought it would be funny if the readers picked a "spell" out of the box at random. That idea stuck in my head for a long time, and it wasn't really viable for Seattle. I tried to expand on that and find a theme that would work for a live show, and WikiHow popped into my head in the shower. I got in contact with Lemon and said, "I have this idea for a live show, but it involves you building a big dumb thing." Lemon jumped at it, and created exactly what I had in my head.

The benefit of working with this community of folks is that they are all really capable and talented on top of being funny and interesting. It is like working on "The Muppet Show." Lemon built two amazing pieces of tech for this show, which is astounding to a dummy like myself. Boots and Jimmyfranks also worked hand-in-glove (foot-in-boot?) to make this whole thing actually work, and it can't be understated how much labor went into making the show work in a non-show space. Big props to Bunnybread for his Rod Roddying duties and K. Thor for committing to a bit that tops almost all of the crazy shit I've ever seen at a live comedy show But still the second time I've seen a man consume his own pee for a comedy show. Great work also by my competitors, the Ladies Shell, Shell Game and Nutshell Gulag. I had my money on either of you, and you both are dual chambers of the very large heart at the center of this whole crazy business.

Kumquat, thanks for delivering exactly what we needed for this show. Lou, thank you for jumping right in with this absurd and complicated festival of crap and giving a top notch performance. Jack Chick, thank you for not only melting the audiences' face, but for also letting the podcast use your home as our receiving center for merchandise. bumpgrrl, thank you for making me laugh and indulging and encouraging my angry lefty side all weekend. Heelies, thank you for taking your shirt off, something you never do when we hang out or golf (which is a shame).

And a big Yay Victor to Victor, who is a kind and generous sort who is such a lovely guy to talk to. Both Victor and Squiddy as well are such comforting presences in real life, you want to tell them all about everything. You two are such great company!

It was also truly a random selection process, except for my reading. A lot of the random selections felt perfect or preselected, but 15 of them were all random. Shell Game can attest to this fact, as she was given all of the remaining docs left in the show. I was giddy with excitement when Frank West received his document and killed it with his reading, and it made me excitedly flit around the room telling people that I couldn't believe how well it was all working. The reading Stog did was statistically the least likely article to be read in the show. He was the only one who could have read it. When the board landed on that last square, it was a gift from Podcast Jesus. No one makes me laugh like Stog, because there is only one Stog, and Stog is real.

Also, truth be told, between the nerves and the beer I cannot remember most of what I read. I remember bits of it, and it will probably all come back to me once the recordings are dropped, but most of it is lost to the ether at the moment. I remember it had to do with sex and Tom Brady. But I do remember that I lost the vote, so now I must kill all of you. Sorry.

Thank you to everyone who was so nice to my brother who also came down from Seattle to see the show. It was odd to have family in the audience for this, and it worked out well in the end. He had a great time and we talked about getting our other brother out to the next one. Here's hoping.

Lastly, I wish I had a chance to talk to more of you who came out to see the show. I am similarly afflicted with interpersonal awkwardness. That is why I say curse words into microphones instead of on stage these days. It was great to say hi to the folks that I have done Extra Credit with or that I met previously at live shows or that I see posting here often. If you listen to this show and you are reading this message now, then you at least "get it" and I am sure we would get along great. It's the one regret I have from the show is being stuck in my head and not meeting some more new people. But even if we didn't talk, it was great sharing the Lucky Lab with you all for the weekend!

It was awesome meeting you! Sorry if I was a little weird, having multiple of the Ridiculists come up to me out of the blue over the course of one night was beyond my expectations for the evening and left me a bit dazed and confused about what vibe I was putting out. That said, I loved every minute of it and will treasure my Yay Victor pennant for all time.

Heelies’ titties tho.  Sweetness and light.

Post by: Frank West on January 23, 2020, 06:53:08 pm
F plus live is always my favorite time of the year. As some of you might be aware, I'm kind of weird! Being around so many people, some of them extremely different from me, and knowing that they'll all get where I'm coming from is not a thing I get to experience very often. Also, it helps that everyone is funny enough to keep up with me, which is also rare, because I'm hilarious. My only real regret from this year's event is that I've made enough friends in this community that I had to split my time, and didn't get to spend nearly enough time with everyone as I wanted to. I think I'm gonna try to not sleep next year to cram as much people time as I can in. A non-exhaustive list of memories, in no order:

- Finally meeting Zekka in person. I pick him out in the lobby because he was imitating bad NPC pathfinding. Within about 20 seconds we were talking about philosophy, and stupid people who are into philosophy, for several hours. Zekka is so cool.

- Everything about the live show. I don't even want to recap it because I'd rather relisten fresh once it comes out (and not spoil for anyone who wasn't there) but almost every reading was perfect.

- Okay, I will say that the thing Shell read was probably my second favorite of any wikihow articles that have been read on the show, and she did a great job with it! (The first is "how to create a wolf pack" from the first garbage day. Sorry, I just really like wolf packs.)

- Pitching my BEAUTIFUL BOY and his SON THRONE in Jackbox. All the Jackbox rounds we did were golden, but naturally the bit I remember the best is my own joke.

- Discovering the sasquatch room with just me and Bozarth in the f plus house. Also, Bozarth stealing firewood from next door.

- Deciding to talk after the live show with Chai, Gany, and Dr. A for a few minutes and stretching it out into a few hours, which ended with Chai giving me a magic spell on a business card.

- Nutshell's very good gingerbread cookies.

- The extended series of riffing sessions that happened after karaoke that ended with the egyptian-themed piss escape room.

Honestly, the last couple months have been tremendously bad for me, and I started slipping into some old, bad habits and bitterness that I hadn't had in years. There was a certain point at karaoke where the singing was good (and I wish I could remember which song was going at the time, I think one of sachi's?) and there were two groups of people next to me were having funny conversations. I sat back and looked around, and everyone else in the room was happy to be there too, and an intense feeling of belonging swept over me. To Lemon, Boots, Jimmyfranks, Bozarth, anyone else who helped the show work, and everyone who came out, thank you for giving me that.



Also, for the record, I DID send Lemon an image to use for the big board, but it was late and he didn't notice it so I'll share it here:

Married?  Welp, no memory of that either.  Along with nearly all of my reading and most of my singing. 

Jesus.  I didn't think I could get married no matter how drunk.  I thought I had an auto-self destruct that would kick in before it got close. Gotta check my manufacturer's warranty.  I should be a smoking crater, by now.

I had a profoundly delightful experience. It was so nice to see friends new and old, and to visit a new city, and to spend time with some very dear internet friends offline, a move that I think intensifies and supercharges online relationships.

Special thanks to:

My dear Frank West, who I talked with as much as I'd hoped to be able to and then some, with whom I bonded, I think, through recounting our shared vulnerabilities.

Frank West, January 23, 2020, 06:53:08 pm
I made ten of these a few months ago and managed to give out nine of them. I can promise you that it was written with zero ironic intent, and that it will genuinely last until the morning after you immolate it. I'm glad you got a good one.

Zekka:
A sheer and magnificent delight. I was so happy to spend time with you, and even happier to have continued bonding on the day I left the city. We had many wonderful conversations, and this new phase of our friendship is going to be really, really good, I think.

Shell Game: you are a QUEEN. I voted for you every time except for when I didn't. For someone who stepped up to fill a void, I'm glad you have found a true sort of calling, a space you're uniquely qualified to fill. Llaneza. Belonging - "to be accepted / as part of an undeniable reality / like stones and trees". I am incredibly #blessed to know you and to have a dear friend to talk to about my personal demons. Spending time with you is a constant treasure. I am so thankful you're in my life.

the sea hag: we met through sheer coincidence but I can't help feeling that there was providence in our connection. We spent most of the day, if not the night, together, and I'm glad to count you as one of my little ducklings, a friend I want to know more.

Amy: you know what it's about. It was fun recreationally flirting with you at the sex shop. I had a really nice time impressing the nerds with what someone there referred to as a 'surprising  depth of knowledge' and I hope you did too! I would've loved to spend more time with you. Text me if you're in Vancouver Canada.

Everyone else: game recognize game. Bless up

The files being released reminded me of something. I don't have any pics to share (sorry Hux) but I'd like to share my half-remembered thoughts with y'all.

So I knew that I earned some singles at some point in the night but couldn't recall how that went down.  I have since been shown evidence (beautiful evidence) that Victor and I were having a strip-off. The part I do sorta maybe remember is later in the evening I visited the men's room and then accidentally had one of my hard earned pants-dollars fall into the urinal. Just in case any of y'all dudes happened to see evidence of someone tipping the newly hired bathroom attendant and wondering "just who could possibly be that drunk that they mistook the urinal for the bartender?"

God I wonder who eventually grabbed that buck.

That was to give you a souvenir since I admired your bravery in requesting hugs and duet partners.  I also felt kinda bad that I screwed up stripping, the night before, due to poor clock management.  At least the few audience members who voted for me got another decent view and I got a little closer to the title of The Sluttiest Guy In Podcasting

Plus the plan was to gradually give away all my clothes to you nice folks.  The belt was simply the first step.  It was gonna be so easy to get through airport security with no carry on. 
So, yeah, I fucked that up. Maybe next year.

still having trouble believing any of this happened.
what i do know is that my life improved exponentially after my historic pilgrimage across the country to meet other internet weirdos.
i watched all the footage again, finally. and i'm trying not to cry! it was real and it happened!

without a hint of irony, i have to say that this was probably the single most important event of my life so far. keep in mind i'm only 21 and have never traveled across the country, so far from home, on my own, in an unfamiliar climate, to meet strangers. and i didn't even get lost once! before this trip i only ever left my house to go to work.
each of the four days was spent hanging out with various ballpit people that i barely knew at all, yet when we got together it was like we'd been friends for years. we clicked instantly. there was no awkwardness at all. i've been bad about keeping in contact but i'm gonna try and talk to some of you again one on one because you're all great.

 it really marked the start of my new year, it cleared my head, and now i can look at the footage and realize that i kind of fit right in with these other incredible crazy internet people and maybe i'm not as much of an outsider as i like to think. regardless of my weird tangents...everyone's got those weird moments sometimes, right?

the f plus is probably one of the best things to happen to me. i mean that. nowadays it's not the only thing i have to look forward to, but for a solid year and a half, it was really all i had to ground me. and now listening to the podcast has been enhanced since i can picture the ridiculousness going on behind the screen.

yes, i am posting this a month and a half late. but cut me some slack! i just relived a game-changing moment in my life and i'm getting all emotional again.

Title: F Plus Live: January 18th, 2020
Post by: kthorjensen on August 20, 2020, 10:43:54 am
I meant to do this a while back but I have a free moment right now so it's time to talk about THE GIMMICKS.

I knew going in to this show that I would be competing at a tremendous disadvantage due to my lack of name recognition and advanced age, so I had to do something a little extra.

Obviously if I had gone on to the second round at F Plus Live I wouldn't have done the "box of mystery liquids" gimmick again. In fact, I had a second gimmick prepared, which I actually pitched to Lemon when he first asked me to do the show. But that was only one of many concepts and stunts I considered, all of which I am going to reveal to you... right now.

GIMMICK ONE: THE FLEETWOOD

When Lemon asked me to do F Plus Live, I responded with a question: "In addition to the microphone, will i have access to a separate audio out feed into the PA?"

Then I sent him this video:


This clip depicts a furiously cocaine-addled Mick Fleetwood playing a special "percussion vest" made for him in the early 1980s. The vest has a number of pressure sensors on it, and tapping each one cues a different sample.

For the reading, I recorded 500 of the most common English words coupled with another 300 "likely Wikihow words" into my DAW. I then built a very janky replica of Fleetwood's percussion vest out of a cheap electronic drum kit I bought on AliExpress, cut up and sewn together. The intent was, when I got the reading, I would quickly assign eight words from the text to the sensors on the vest and perform the reading by speaking words not represented and hitting the vest for the eight words that were found in the text, combined with upsetting Fleetwood gesticulations (and yes, I did have the ball clackers that hung from the belt as well).

This was a completely ridiculous concept but it would have been a lot of fun. I originally was going to do it first and the box second but made an executive decision to switch them once I saw how the night was going, and I think that was the right choice.

BUT! Before I came up with the mystery liquid box, I ran through a couple other ideas.

GIMMICK TWO: THE BUZZER

I actually prototyped one of these devices before discarding the idea. When called to the microphone, I would give three objects to the other Ridiculists. About the size of a deck of cards, they consisted of a momentary switch attached to a battery and a small transformer. Electrical wire extended from the device to an electrode at the end.

The text would be given to the non-reading Ridiculists along with an index card and a Sharpie for each. Each one would be asked to choose a word that appeared in the text - could be a common word, could be one that only showed up once - and write it down on their card but do not show me.

While they were doing this, I would attach one electrode to my Adam's apple, one electrode to the tip of my penis and one electrode to my anus.

I would then take back the text and instruct the other three Ridiculists to press the button on their device when they heard me read the word they had chosen. That would direct a painful but non-lethal electrical shock to the region of my body corresponding to their device.

At the end of the time, I would then attempt to guess their three words.

I built one of the devices and it worked but as I was reading about it I learned that, even in healthy people, repeated electrical shocks have the potential to induce heart irregularities and potential death. Not wanting to leave a corpse on the F Plus's hands, I abandoned the idea.

GIMMICK THREE: THE STRIPTEASE

I predicted catcalls for nudity would go over pretty well, so I wanted to take off my clothes during the reading only to reveal a flesh-colored jumpsuit underneath those clothes, then remove that jumpsuit to reveal a Slim Goodbody-esque (see video below) anatomical jumpsuit, and then remove that jumpsuit to unleash a cascade of chicken gizzards, cow tripe and other offal all over the stage. If I didn't care about the venue or the event organizers this would definitely be something I'd do, but it wasn't right for that night.


I kicked around a couple of other ideas, including using a ventriloquist's dummy to heckle myself and building a large Bread and Circuses-style puppet, but time drew short.

Anyways that's the long-delayed behind the scenes of my approach to F Plus Live.

this is amazing, and it makes me appreciate just how much work went into this whole thing.
...but i'm glad you went with the box of mysterious liquids.

no reason, just thought it was funny.

As we take a day to give thanks, I thought about how thankful I am that whatever else happened in 2020, F Plus Live happened.  Kind of a lot went wrong since then, but there was one weekend this year where everything went very, very right.

It was a delight to read back through the post-show comments in this thread.  So much happiness to so many people.
