Proof That SNL is Best When You’re in High School
Laughing is not literally the best medicine, but it just might be a close second.
With the weekend upon us, the pressure is on to plan something unforgettably fun to do once the sun sets. We can’t waste a single moment. Luckily, Bill Hader and John Mulaney (as written about in yesterday’s blog post), created the best club promoter in partying history by combining an oddly entertaining email and a particular coffee barista in Chelsea, New York. Since readers of Jimmy’s Daily Planet are up to speed on the evolution of SNL’s Stefon from yesteryear (part of “Throwback Thursday”), it’s time to see what club has everything…
Actually, scratch learning about the hottest new club in NYC. Instead, let’s watch a heartwarming Make-a-Wish story involving Bill Hader…and, yes, a little Stefon.
That moment had everything.
It’s That Thing of When You Learn About Where Stefon Came From
This blog post has everything…
The greatest club promoter the world has ever known, Stefon, was the brainchild of SNL cast member/impressionist Bill Hader and SNL writer John Mulaney. As you would expect, the inception of this legendary character originated within the perfect storm of serendipity. Isn’t that the case with some of the best things in life?
For “Throwback Thursday,” let’s reminisce about the phenomenon that is Stefon.
(If it feels right, feel free to hold your hands up to your face and laugh)
Now, it’s time to hear from the writing guru who was the wordsmith behind the club promoter who loves rooms with broken glass.
I am looking for a Halloween party to hit up later this month…
Stay tuned tomorrow for a vintage weekend update.
From Blogger to Blogga
Do you know what you’re doing right now?
Yes: You’re reading Jimmy’s Daily Planet…with swagger!
Even if you don’t understand what just happened in the first two sentences of this blog post, act like you do. That’s a critical life skill, according to Taavon. This Swagga Coach knows how to discover it and, most importantly, bring it when it should be brought, which is always. There’s no need to wait until the weekend to break loose from the restrictions of your 9-5 job. Today is the perfect day to find your inner swagger (or swagga).
But you knew that already.
Free Tip – If you act like Mick Jagger, you’ll never be far from swagger.
Seeing the World Like Kids
OneRepublic has given fans a view unlike any other.
“Kids,” the latest single of off OneRepublic’s newly released album “Oh My My” is fantastically addictive. The lyrics and the beat alone are enough to capture the imagination of the listener. And yet, the band from Denver, Colorado has, quite possibly, elevated the musical game to a height a mile high with this hit. The band released two seemingly identical musical videos for “Kids,” with the difference summarized in one word:
Experience.
The following version of “Kids” is three-wait for it-D! Yes, the music video is in 3-D with 360-degree flexibility for the viewer. It was filmed using the stat-of-the-art Nokia OZO Camera. Personalized storytelling/virtual reality, as evidenced by the OZO Camera, has the incredible potential to adapt the “choose your own ending” books to multi-media platforms for all genre’s of music, movies and TV. Not to mention our own recordings on our smartphones. The stage, whatever that is, reveals itself to be virtually everything within sight.
(While the video will slowly move along without you doing anything, please click you mouse on the directional icon in the top left corner of the music video or click on the video, hold and drag in the direction you want and enjoy the view from every angle!).
Didn’t you feel like a kid again, exploring around every corner?
Oh my my, that’s cool.
