Jumbotron!
The free corporate tickets my company gave me to last nights Rockies game are on the third tier. From up there we could see me girlfriends’ firms tickets - front row directly behind the cameras next to the visitors dug out. We also saw that one of the guys she works with had two empty seats next to him. A couple of text messages later and we were right there practically on the diamond. You couldn’t get any closer to the game.
As I was scarfing down a bowl full of deluxe nachos and a beer, an usher brought a group of six young boys, all decked out in there little league uniforms, up to the cameras right next to us. He set the boys up in a staggered line with the smallest kids in front. On the ushers cue, one of the cameras stopped filming the game and swung around to face the boys. The kids went crazy cheering and pumping there fists. And then I noticed they were on the jumbotron.
Now was my chance!
I leaned way over in front of a kid. Never taking my eyes off the jumbotron I put a big smile on my face and popped a deluxe nacho dripping with cheese, chili, and jalapeno into my mouth. I did it! I finally made it onto the jumbotron at a major sporting event. Eating nachos for the world. An then the camera immediately turned off. I wasn’t on the screen for even a second. And to be honest there is some dispute as to whether my face made it onto the screen or if it was just my elbow. But I swear me and my nachos were on there for a-half-a-second.
The Rockies may have lost but I got to put another check mark on my bucket list. Next time I’m bringing my camera.

Did you know that Ozzy Osborne and Madonna shared vocals on a Was (Not Was) track called “Shake Your Head (Dub Remix)”? From the Was Not Was website:
In 1983 Madonna’s recorded vocals for Shake Your Head (Lets Go To Bed) a track on Born To Laugh At Tornadoes. When the album was released Madonna’s vocal had been replaced by Ozzy Osbourne’s, a completely different style. Don Was later explained: “She sang really well but l’ve always imagined the vocalist as extensions of ourselves and l couldn’t relate to female vocals being our voice” In 1992 the track was re-released in a different mix on Hello Dad I’m In Jail with Kim Basinger supplying the vocal.
For the alternative remix release In America, producer Steve “Silk” Hurley was given the wrong basic vocal/acapella tracks for the remix. Indeed, he was given Madonna’s vocals. This 12-inch remix was pressed before the error was realized and the release was then subsequently withdrawn. The 12-inch with the Madonna vocal has the catalogue number WASX12, compared to WAS12, the standard release which did not contain the Madonna vocals. The Ebay auction and back story can all be found here.
Listen to (download) the track right here on Artifacting. Was Not Was featuring Madonna - Shake Your Head (Steve Hurley Dub Remix)

It has been quite a winter everywhere in the states. These frozen waves on Lake Huron look like gigantic slabs of blue salmon.
Michigan has had the coldest winter in decades. Water expands to freeze, and at Macinaw City the water in Lake Huron below the surface ice was supercooled. It expanded to break through the surface ice and froze into this incredible wave.
Fascinating.

Death metal + incredible dessert recipes = The Black Oven - immaculate confections succumbed to northern darkness. With recipes like “Where the Chocolate Beats Incessant”, “Le Petit Gateau du Les Legions Noire -Traditional cupcakes inspired by untraditional black metal”, and “Frostbitten Molasses Cookies Entombed with Ginger” this promises to be the best black metal cooking site on the web.
I’m pretty sure lemon curd doesn’t exist in Norway. However, if by some miracle Odin had bestowed upon the snow beaten north the gift of citrus, the vikings would have probably made these. Buried beneath the mountains of frost…are cookies! These are best enjoyed while basking in the self-righteousness of your own obscurity.
Don’t stop there. The Breadmaster Strikes!!!!!!!!!! comes in a close second when it comes to baking in hallowed depths of hellfire. SeitanWörshipper does a pretty good dark metal/food blog (from Finland of course) too.

Did you know I have a tumblr brand tumble-log. Well, I do. Go check it out. It mostly contains a bunch of videos and pictures that aren’t appropriate for Artifacting, but there is some really great stuff over there. Perfect for a slow Friday afternoon.

Have you ever woke up the morning after a night of partying, turned on your camera and thought, “I don’t remember taking any of these pictures” and “I don’t remember uploading those pictures to flickr”? Yeah, well so does everybody on Sorry I Missed Your Party. In a strange way I’d like to see myself on this website someday.
