Be a shaving cream wig record holder.

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

You heard me.  Last night, Jimmy Fallon became the shaving cream highest wig world record holder [say that ten times fast] at like 9 inches high. Take the record from him, enter a video on the universal world record database at URDB.ORG and go higher than 9 inches. If you do and hold the record for more than 72 hours, the suits behind Fred will hook you up with a lot of Fred and tees and other cool stuff.  Go for it.

Correction:  Our friends over at LVHRD in NYC actually hold the record at 9.25 inches.  So beat them.

Int’l Spy Conference

Friday, April 17th, 2009

A year or so back, FoF Ocean wrote a piece about a little Spy Conference in Raleigh, NC.  Well, it just went on again.  Next year, I want to go.  Now, what’s so interesting about this is - well, it’s a Spy Conference - what’s not interesting about that?  But what’s interesting to us FoFs is the brilliance of a simple little Ad for the conference by an agency named The Republik.  I mean, this commercial ranks up there with my favorites.  It’s not on YouTube, so if you want to check it out, follow these instructions.  Go to http://therepublik.net - click on ‘work’ in the menu on the upper left - click on the floaty icon in the middle of the site that says “INTL SPY CONFERENCE” - click “View all work by tactic” - click “Broadcast” and enjoy.  Is that not hilarious?  Who wants to go next year?  Note: The link to the conference itself is http://www.raleighspyconference.com/ - Is there any way this isn’t actually real?  FoF Marcus

Well, these guys do fo sho. 

SXSW was pretty cool this year.

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Fred was asked to cold chill in the center of the action at Whole Foods on Lamar and 5th St. in downtown Austin. And cold chill he did. Artists seen included Funeral Party and Voxtrot at Emo’s Jr., Shwayze rocked out, Joseph Israel the kickass reggae singer, Melissa Rapp who is now a special FoF. Fred also shared a ride with a writer on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - that was a trip. Ben Harper was amazing. And bumping into FoFs from Brooklyn was a nice surprise. Any of you FoFs make it down to SXSW? Do tell. Who did you see? Good shows?
