The Aquabats TV Series

The Hub Orders Aquabats Series, Renews ‘The Haunting Hour’ – Deadline.com

The Hub, the new cable channel targeting kids and their families, is expected to announce tomorrow at its upfront that it has picked up a new series starring the quirky rock band The Aquabats. The series, which is expected to receive a 13-episode order, hails from FremantleMedia Enterprises.

This seemed like exciting news, but it was also from 3/23/11 and said that The Hub was expected to announce it. I looked some more and did find sites that confirmed it, but then they all referenced that first page. No, that first page didn’t confirm it. Thanks for doing your journalistic duty baddies.
So then I stopped Googling and just went to the Aquabats’ site.
Welcome to THEAQUABATS.COM!

Hello and greetings from the AQUABATS SUPER SHOW central. Things are buzzing about like Killer Bees on a swarm and the first three episodes of the SUPER SHOW have been written and are currently in pre-production for the HUB!

It’s right from their homepage on 7/16/11. How exciting!

Powderpuff Pilots Dress Rehearsal

I went to the Powderpuff Pilots dress rehearsal last night with gem, and we met up with Jenkins and Margaret. It was a lot of fun! Melissa had an awesome role, and she did a great job. It was about the first Women’s Air Derby in 1929. Besides being a fun performance full of good songs, it was also an interesting bit of history about which I knew little to nothing previously. Of course, I have since read about it on Wikipedia more.
Besides Melissa, I recognized a couple other people in the show. There were former Live Nudes performing, including Tony McConville! Woo hoo fun! You know what I wonder? Where do the performers look while on stage? Do different people do different things, or do they all usually use the same trick? It seems so strange to be staring at people who are staring off into the back of the room.
After the show we talked with Melissa and met Brandon before heading to Yogurtland. It was tasty. And Alex and I were wrong. Trader Joe’s is open until 10.
It was a great night!

Awesome Day Off



Awesome Day Off, originally uploaded by theuser.

Today was such an awesome day! First, I slept until 10:30 or so. It was glorious. Then I finished up my Joystiq stuff, which took a while, before taking a shower. I had a lunch consisting of my leftover turkey sub and broccoli and cheese soup while watching Batman Beyond.
After lunch I got my review of Hoard posted and then went to play video games. As it turns out, I was already on the last level of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. I finished that up, picking the light-side (and non-canon, I think) ending.
Then it was beach time! We picked up Jessica and went to Huntington Beach. We ate at Sancho’s Tacos, which had an awesome biker/beach kinda vibe. We tried their OG (steak), Flounder Pounder (mahi mahi), Yard Bird (chicken), Federale (carnitas), and Flaco (vegie) tacos. All of them were so good. I especially recommend the OG and Flounder Pounder. We took our food to the beach to eat and watch the sunset. Very delicious and very fun.
Then as we walked past a clothing store with super loud music, I noticed it was loud because there was a live band. They sounded ska/reggae, so I knew we had to stop. We got there in time to listen to The Originalites‘ last two songs. They were very entertaining, especially the sax. They were selling merchandise to raise money for a signing deal, so I bought one. Then we headed to Zimzala, the restaurant at which Andrew works, for dessert. It was amazing! We had the chocolate ganache, apple crisp, strawberry shortcake, s’mores, and peanut butter and jelly truffles. It was all so good. I especially liked the s’mores! Gorgeous and tasty! We also got to chat with Andrew, which was very cool. A terrific dinner!
And then we had to find the car. We didn’t think to check where we parked. It didn’t take too long though. Jessica’s magic or something.
