Crunkadunkedalorusaurush

I spent the whole cucalorus festival cucalorusing and recovering from cucalorusing. I'm somewhat screwed for the next week or so because of it, but so it goes and I'll stand by that as an acceptable trade off. I had no choice as one who takes advantage of opportunity but to take advantage of the opportunity to see what's out there in festival world, meet filmmakers, hang out with them and fellow film majors and drink drink drink the heavenly bounty of free beer. There was a little bit of bad vibes on the beer front; a friend of mine who worked at jengos, not joselyn, was stressed about the apparent dearth of it. There was a point at jengo's where I was denied it (rudely) because I wasn't a filmmaker even though I had a short in visions and my bumper played and I helped with ichthyopolis. I just didn't get a filmmaker pass. I thought this pretty absurd given the jengos situation I have come to be very comfortable with. I understand there were less sponsors but the glut of alcohol later that night showed me that booze really wasn't that scarce. Anyways, I got my drink on just fine and everything was crunk and dandy.

I saw a lot of films as well. Some favorites were Wesley Willis's Joyrides, Los Cronocrimenes, Shotgun Stories, Absurdistan, and Lightning Salad Moving Picture. I liked the Superkiiids presence at Cucalorus and Cucalorus' presence in their film (LightSalMovPic). They introduced several movies that I saw: Joyrides, Shotgun Stories, Absurdistan. Their tent outside of Thalien was pretty funny. They gave me and my friend a ride to Jengo's. And I liked seeing the guitar guy and an actual cucalorus in their film, along with all the familiar wilmington faces. Lightsalmovpic was pretty absurd but it was consistently A.D.D. in a way that worked. It was like a buddy comedy narrative built out of Stella-esque sketches. The machine gun sounds in the laundry room fight sent me into fits of gigglage.
