A lot of people are wondering what tonight’s Videogum 2nd Birthday Party at Williamsburg’s Brooklyn Bowl will be like. I mean, there are some things that we already know. The party will start at 7PM. There will be margarita drink specials. There will be snacks. There will be friendship. People can even go bowling if they want to. Later in the evening, Questlove from The Roots will be DJ’ing. But these are just facts and figures, which sound so dry on paper. “Yes,” people are saying, “we have heard the facts and figures that sound so dry on paper. We know all of that. But what will it actually BE like. What can we expect to experience as human beings interacting with each other in the real world?!” GOOD QUESTION, VERY CRITICAL. But it is hard to explain to you in words. Much like Charles Widmore trying to make Jin understand the importance of his electro-magnetic experiments on Desmond Hume, it would be much easier to SHOW YOU:
But with even more white people. (Thanks for the tip, Charles.)

whaaaaaa?!?!
Let’s hear Charles out on this one; maybe Questlove has a gay accent? You know how we all hate those.
A terrible comment from a terrible writer.
When did everyone turn into a dick all of the sudden? Geesh. I am having a moment today over this!
That was kinda funny. Mean but funny. Anyways, I think he is famous enough to not take offense to that.
That being said, BRING BACK DJ JUNGLE BOOK!!!
Awwww! :3
hey i saw your movie, punch buddies. actually i only saw part of it because it made me feel nervous. then one time i was going on a trip to portland, so my mom bought me your guide to portland. it turns out that it is less of a travel guide and more of a list of places you have used drugs or been beaten in. and that’s the story of the time i was sold into sex slavery in portland. anyway it’s lunchtime now, nice chatting!
I saw Questlove spin once and he did kind of suck, but I wouldn’t post a comment about it….there nerve!
Are you part of the in-house band for Fallon? No? Didn’t think so.
I can’t go because Questlove said If I did he would hurt me
this sounds like a blast. @JeffSundin is going to dance his ass off.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are you bringing real names into this anonymous internet forum? I’m sure commenter “Jeff” would not like his identity stolen.
I expected better from you, Yael.
Oh snap, I JUST made the connection to your VGum name, Tim.
Oh man, all KINDS of identities be revealin’ themselves. This is just like the end of Tootsie.
I’M ANDREW
who is the real intense woman who has her own travel clogging platform? lizzing? probably lizzing.
I like this game of matching dancers to monsters. I’ll go ahead and point out the obvious, though: Gabe alert at 1:26.
there will be clogging up in this bitch.
The introduction to this video is a continuous string of TWSS. Just sayin’.
It seemed a lot more poignant to me because “Sister Christian” was playing on the radio while I watched. Just like syncing up “Dark Side of the Moon” and Wizard of Oz.
Yeah, not to get all stereogum over here, but listening to Yeasayer’s “Wintertime” while watching this was unapproachable.
Let’s be honest Gabe. I think the party will probably be more off the hook than that! Don’t you remember last year’s party?:
?uestlove will be in for a little surprise at his DJ booth…
Caption contest: We know what Diplo’s thinking. He is thinking, “Mariachi — I haven’t exploited that musical tradition yet.” But what is the DANCER’S BUTT thinking?
“Where’s Topher?” –Dancer’s Butt
I was at the Major Lazer show right before this Major Lazer show!
This is when diplo was playing Ace of Base. Speaking of that. Where is my Motorhead vs Ace of Base mashup? HUH!
Confession: This photo was a test in order to smoke out the Major Lazer/Diplo fans, and you passed with flying colors. Bravo! You deserve all the topless handstands in the world!
Smoke us out to kill us with lasers? or befriend us with lasers?
I’ll be trying out my new moves. I need a partner though
I’ll be the Pelican if you can handle being the other two.
those thieving ICP bastards. they stole a dance i created in 1955 in a partnership with CBS called: The Mighty Mouse Mambo.
looks like another lawsuit.
No ICP talked to their lawyers first, by bending his right leg instead of his left like in the Mighty Mouse Mambo they are not in breach of any copyright laws.
I missed the Rangers’ open auditions? Better luck next year.
this week has taught me that dancing in my kitchen might be the most normal thing I do. Thank god I have the internet to validate me.
I thank god every day that I have the internet to validate me. Without it I’m nothing.
This video needs more Aidan Quinn dancing to Romeo Void at the Prom in Reckless. (and that sentence needs more prepositions)

dancing starts at about 3:30
Is there a female of birthing age that would be willing to sneak me into this adults only party an a papoose attached to her belly, and then feign contractions for a few minutes before pretending to go into labor? If so, let’s work something out. I’m very quiet and I have baby smell.
Also, a bit of warning: If I have too many vodka applejuices I will be spitting up all night.
Please, someone say yes. I am picturing the awkwardness when neither she nor the 84 year old man that is the real Notsewfast is willing to admit they were bluffing. T14TT!
True story: Saturday night, one of the local stations where my parents live plays only bluegrass music. My mom (who is from Kentucky) uses this as an opportunity to keep her clogging skills sharp by clogging non-stop around the house for 3 hours. So, she would fit right in this video, is what I’m saying.
Also, Gabe, are you getting tips from Charles Widmore now? That seems dangerous. He might put you in a big electromagnet run by computers from the early 90′s! Careful, Gabe.
This is going to be off of the hook! Let’s do a jiggy with it!!
Here’s a preview of how my nights gonna go…
I hope you’re not gonna cook all those dishes, there’s like 1000, or 20
I’m only cooking that much to prepare for the Nathans Famous Hot Dog eating contest. Look out Kobayashi!!!
That microwaves steak looks delicious!
I invited you via twitter to a mini meetup! (not tonight, though, so you might want to keep that cookbook on hand.)
Oh yay! We should def do that!
I’m going to be listening to a bunch of drunk bros and gals. I’d rather have your microwave life.
Yeah, you have no idea. College in the south FTW. Actual people from my school at a football tailgate:

Damn it.
Question: Who will be doing the hacky sack solo?
I’m betting it’ll be one of the dudes in the tailgate photo
Oh okay, so basically every Saturday night for me.
I don’t feel nearly as anxious now.
I’m jealous that all these people are better dancers than I am. #whitepeopleproblems
You just need to find the right music. Or have someone find the right music that suits the moves you already have.
I thought it would be like this, but with more guyz.

I am hoping for more of a Scandals-Dino Papastratis-Binghamton,NY-1991-we *can* take our clothes off, if you know what I mean- vibe.
I’ll be dancing alone in my room on the other side of the country. Maybe I’ll invite some friends tonight… Nah.
It is wrong to think this may be the best (only) dancing that has ever originated from white people?
“Dancing with myself, oh oh oh oh….” – Billy Idol
Try to keep the clogging down, guys. I’ll be trying to sleep just on the other side of the, um, planet.
Friendship? I’m not coming.
TWSS.
as the resident hillbilly monster, i must admit here and now, before you all, that i took clogging lessons as a wee thing. i got some skillz.
I tweeted questlove once and looking back it was probably really strange so now I am forever embarrassed.
Also have fun guys!
Hey are there any other Vermonsters out there?
I understand if you have to revoke my membership for using that term.
Are You KIDDING? You just got your hand stamped to come back again anytime!
It was TBS Very Funny. And it’s pretty much the only state you can do that with.
Thanks guys. After I wrote it I looked up Vermonster on Urban Dictionary (forgive me, I just discovered the internet yesterday, it is very exciting out here! lots of neat stuff!).
The first definition was racist, the second was boring, but the third:
“The penis of a man from Vermont. It is usually incredible huge and white.”
I have never been so proud. Or confused. At the same time.
I guess, I don’t want to make this AllAboutMeGum.com over here, but I have to say that I am stoked to share a birthday with Videogum.com. Though I can’t make it to the party tonight, I will have an extra birthday drink for Gabe and all you monsters! Thanks for for the LAFFS.
This in Brooklyn, PA, right? Because I just got here and the woman at the gas station said there is no bowling alley. I’ll wait.
So there are going to be jerking tryouts for the Power Ranger$ at the party tonight?
Wish I could make it but all the flights from Vegas to New York were unavailable because I don’t have any money. Also happy birthday and thanks for nearly a year and a half of enjoyment.
