Apple Announces the Release of Its Newest Creation

Jobs

Cupertino, CA - Today, in front of an excited audience, Steve Jobs announced the release of Apple's latest stroke of genius. Hailing it as "the latest and best development in a line of great Apple products," Jobs urinated on an elderly woman in the crowd and gave the command for the 50-ft plasma screen to come to life. "Salivate over this, bitches! The iProduct!" roared Jobs, with his freakish grin and fiery red eyes striking fear into the hearts of his competitors.


What appeared on the screen brought the crowd of about 500 to its feet. "I couldn't believe my eyes," said Jocelyn Murphy, manager of a local Apple Store and first time release party participant, "I can't wait to see these fly off the shelves. Apple has really outdone itself this time."

Many in attendance wondered just where Apple would go next. Carlos Nuñez, an intern at the Apple corporate headquarters said, "Please don't print my name. I'm not even supposed to be here right now. I'm supposed to be shredding the copies of the contract Mr. Jobs made with Satan. Shit, I gotta get outta here."

This release marks one of many in the last few weeks including the iPod Nano, and the new iPod (dubbed V-iPod by some) which supports video. Check out the iProduct here.

Braddigan and Pete Play Pepperdine

Braddigan and Pete Francis


Brad Corrigan (Braddigan) and Pete Heimbold (Pete Francis), formerly of the band Dispatch, came and played a sweet little concert for about 200 Pepperdine students. For those of you that know me from my high school days, I, like most of you, am a huge Dispatch fan so it was a pretty big event to have 2/3 of the group come and jam for us here in Malibu. When I say I am a huge Dispatch fan, I mean that five of us drove all the way from Long Beach, Mississippi, to Boston to see their free farewell concert two summers ago. Yeah, that was huge.

For those of you who aren't familiar with these Braddigan and Pete (or Chad, the third former Dispatcher and current lead singer of State Radio), these guys rock. I would strongly advise that you go check out the links and give a listen to their music, it's good stuff.

Big time thanks to Arrrrmand Scurrrfield and his kickass roommate Mark (Braddigan's friend) for hooking it up. Hopefully we can get something setup for a much bigger Spring show. Alumni Park needs a good concert this year and I think this is just the type of thing we need to make happen.
