Okay, we'll probably have a bunch of new people on here in the next few hours, weeks, and days...
allow me to explain what this place is all about.
Picture this, its 2003, Joe and Jason are living in Orlando, FL., Nick is living in Metairie, LA, and Nigel is living in Thibodaux, LA.
Four guys who are pretty much best of friends, separated by geography, kept together by the internet.
Now these four guys have always had a flare for the ridiculous. Growing up together (sort of...), recording ourselves doing dumb things way before Youtube or Myspace was ever created, hanging out, getting into mischief, etc. At some point, we all decided to go our separate ways and get educated.
Joe and Jason moved out to Orlando to go to an audio engineering school, Nick moved to Metairie to go to a Graphic Design school, and Nigel moved to Thibodaux (which is a college town).
Between the four of us, we could figure out how to do anything media-related and decided out of boredom that we should create a production company and at least try to make money out of a hobby. We created a company, Wazoo Productions, we created a website, www.wazooproductions.com (which is now defunct, but will be back up soon).
The website was nice and pretty, but running a website is about as fun as being a progeriac in a mustache contest. We created this message board to make keeping in touch easier. Mind you, this was long before Myspace and Youtube. We had no videos, we had no pimped out myspace pages, we didn't even have a fanbase... well, we had people who had seen Joe's mixtape videos of us, and a few people from other countries were fans, but it wasn't all that widespread.
after a while, livejournal was the "new thing" and kinda took some of the fun out of our message board... then along came myspace and sucked the life right out of it.
Now with Youtube, we have an awesome fanbase of adoring fans (who we adore right back), and it would be awesome to have our own little spot on the internet where anything goes, no holds barred, message board ridiculosity ensues...
Join us, chat with us, start topics, reply, read old shit, check back daily, enjoy this place. it'll give you something else to do when you run out of myspace messages to reply to. it'll be hours of fun if you let it be.

and nick apparently had some free time to write an essay. its good to explain though where all this came from though, it makes sense, im sure because of myspace, facebook,livejournal, stickam, and all that jazz it sucked the soul out of the idea of a message board, i used to message board long ago. and am glad to be back to it. i was tired of the rediculusness of the myface and facejournal and livestick. so hoooraaaaaaaayyy message boards
