So Scott Seward killed it again. A sample line of many:
"OK UK stop inventing things, all hopped up on Cadbury bars and PG Tips"
Exchange after he was done:
Jim Miller: "You grew up on Sesame Street didn't you?" Scott: "Yeah!"

hello people! i'm in town but i haven't been to any of the popcon stuff yet. no sleep on the plane last night means zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. anything fun happening tonight?

that was fun today. i'm glad my dad could make it. nice to meet jim miller today and tom smucker tonight. it's really nice that greil is my biggest fan, but him sitting right in front of me when i was talking was still kind of intimidating. i avoided eye contact.
― scott seward, Friday, 23 March 2012 23:40 (1 year ago) Permalink
is that why you sat right in front of matos and me and tried to psyche us out?
― internet somebody (some dude), Saturday, 24 March 2012 05:56 (1 year ago) Permalink
exactly! it didn't work though. you guys were fine.

From 1 to 2 there's a lunchtime Prince panel.

Thing tonight needs extra prep time, I can't make it today and I'm *sad*, yesterday was a blast, but also *here for aero*. May drop by Von afterward b/c that's my "Cheers".

i went to the mixtape panel and said hi to Breihan and enjoyed what he had to say because that's my dude but oh god so much else of what was said was just a smh greatest hits circa 2005

mixtape panel was iffy. i didn't stay for the whole thing. still haven't met some dude despite going to your panel and being at the mixtape one also. haha. perhaps tomorrow.

ah damn man, sorry i missed you! i still have no idea whether i will get back to popcon before getting on my bus tomorrow. 3 day weekend flying by frustratingly quickly!

rob sheffield/ann powers/jody rosen/greil marcus panel was the hightlight for me. everyone so good. kinda the ideal for ANY conference. whitney houston panel was my second fave. could listen to nelson george and danyel smith talk forever. and danyel's story of the time she was dissed by whitney was daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!!
really wish i could be their for gza talking about liquid swords tomorrow but we have to get back.
really glad spike lee got into the emp spirit today. it was nice to see.

and i can't believe john aerosmith was in town and he didn't stop by emp. he missed some great stuff.
also really nice to see the usual emp suspects: daphne carr, matos, my pal amy phillps, carl wilson.
also, ilxors sang freud and alex in montreal and my hero jbr/get bent.
and last but not least to meet ned's completely adorable galpal!

lotsa folks were tweeting about Greil Marcus recounting Robert Johnson's life if he hadn't died in '38. He produced Straight Outta Compton
Plus pro and con thoughts on Rob Sheffield's presentation on the city of Los Angeles and the Doors

jazz panel with phil and nate chinen was totally for real awesome
missed jody rosen and greil marcus because i don't even want to be remotely near rob sheffield talking about the doors
― Whiney vs. (BradNelson), Sunday, 25 March 2012 06:10 (1 year ago) Permalink
nate chinen at one point imitated the 'old-timey' voice from ken burns docs
so great
― Whiney vs. (BradNelson), Sunday, 25 March 2012 06:12 (1 year ago) Permalink
rob's thing on the doors was one of the funniest things i've heard in a LONG time. it was great.

someone's tweet:
this mixtapes panel is like the ultimate inside joke: ex-P4K writers drone on about dipset, drink whiskey, berate people who leave.
― curmudgeon, Sunday, 25 March 2012 06:15 (1 year ago) Permalink
i kinda think that rob can write rings around most of the people presenting. and he really WROTE his thing.

good seeing you too, skot! yours was even funnier than sheffield's. it's easier to riff on the doors than warlock records which is far from well-trod ground. but everything was great. i'm up early 'cause i need more.
