Longmont Potion Castle

the documentary is screening here in may, psyched

For those already not in the know he’s doing text pranks on the insta account “uneasy sleeper.” Learn about puffios.

The uneasy sleeper stuff is great but I thought it was a producer of the film (David Hall) and not Longmont himself.

trip triple check

you're gonna be talkin' to my foot after i fix it in your cheek

So has anyone seen the documentary yet? Is it mostly admirers speaking of their admiration, or is there more to it?

The trailer didnt make it seem like it had much going for it, tbh

^ This is fucking hysterical

a friend of mine went to the premiere in NYC. said the doc is good not great, the first half apparently is mostly talking head interviews with random bands being like "i love his shit" and then the second half they meet up with LPC and he shows them around Denver, points out places he calls frequently.

This is the tortilla herder.

I could come down and play you a Whole Lotta Love but it's gonna sound like a Whole Lotta Nothin' because this thing is fouled up

What the hell's an antelope wad?

can you make some wasp jerky for me

good morning

The little moments when he's talking or making noises to himself before the other person picks up always get me

"Hi, this is Jebediah with Motor-Rooter"

lol i love the bit taken from the live appearance

its not really funny per se but "Peacock" is one of my favorite Longmont bits, must've taken forever to put that all together

Yeah agreed, a real high point for him, truly inspired

Always found the Alex Trebek calls heartwarming - Trebek is so nice and seemed like he actually secretly got a kick out of it, genuinely curious and interested to talk to random people from around the country, even if he's kind of acting annoyed. Like this one where when the phone rings again he immediately goes "lets wait and see who picks up".

yeah is it weird when the news came one of my first thoughts was "LPC lost his only friend"

My name is Whip. I was recently on a frigate.

apparently the new one has a ton of alex trebek

yeah im halfway through and theres already much alex content

admittedly when he died one of my first thoughts was sympathy for LPC cuz he must've considered him a friend at this point

Kind of a tense moment on the new one where what sounds like a 7 year old picks up, and I'm praying he doesnt fuck with a little kid and freak him out and make him upset. But LPC seamlessly modulates his routine and the kid immediately gets into the spirit and starts having a blast yelling into the phone and answering silly questions and it ends up being very adorable.

"Wwwhat is yourrr opinnnnion of rubberbandsss?"
"I love rubberbands!"
"Do you like to feeeed squirrels?"
"HOW DID YOU KNOW I LIKE TO FEED SQUIRRELS? BECAUSE I NAMED A SQUIRREL AND I FEED HIM! SO YES I LIKE TO FEED SQUIRRELS!"

Longmont used to be a cow town, now it's practically a suburb of Boulder.

started listening to the last few I missed, he's just as funny as ever though oftentimes a little more conceptual, for better or worse

the moment OEO mentions above is cute - I was a bit nervous about it as well but it's actually pretty cool, because for once he found someone who's taking him seriously, it's a really fun conversation

but the ones I really like are "Gentlemen's Quarters" and "Skipper's Housewarming" on 18, because he manages to make both ladies laugh uncontrollably which I think catches him off guard and causes him to break character a bit. one of them even offers to come over, and *not* because she wants to kick his ass! I don't think that's ever happened on an LPC album before
