P Spill *censored* Poster for the Waste Barn Party

My buddy Ralph spent hours and hours making this poster for the Waste Barn party which was actually postponed to the 2nd of February. It has all of our stage names... mine is Boom Boom.

We also made a video introduction of our band before we took the stage. It was very "David Letterman-esque" as Jimmy Large took the stage and the rest of us didn't show up. So he runs off stage and the movie starts. He finds Poopsie Starfish in the craft room, and Poopsie runs off to find Mashed Potato in a bathroom. Mashed Potato finds me at Hut 10 being fanned and fed grapes by some handsome men, and I find Peaches Delite giving an instruction course in the computer kiosk. By that time, we've lost Jimmy Large again and the boys find him in the Waste Barn break shack and Peaches and I do "the call" to get the attention of Tasty Crumbles who's up in the Greenhouse wearing a sombrero and poncho. Tasty Crumbles takes off his sombrero and is automatically shaven with slicked back hair in his blue tuxedo jacket. Then we all come together and do this incredibly long walk towards the camera as a group. As we're walking, there are clips of us with our stage names. Jimmy Large is shown as just a headshot with the name Jimmy. Then he does a Chewabacca "howl" and the word "LARGE" drops onto the screen. For my name shot, I walk out and "see" my name is not bright yellow like it's supposed to be. I swing my hip to my right to turn the "Boom" bright yellow, and then I swing my hip to the other side to turn the other one bright yellow! (Apparently a couple of my guy friends kept doing it all night, they thought it was so funny.) Mashed Potato flips his long blonde hair down and licks a bottle of honey and his name flies in across the screen. Poopsie Starfish jumps out of the Waste Barn and does a karate chop which cuts up his name. Peaches Delite says her name slowly and it comes out in the color peach. And Tasty Crumbles does a little "ole" spin in the greenhouse and his name appears. Then we finish walking down the road together, past the camera, and into the Waste Barn before our poster picture appears. We take the stage in the order we entered the Waste Barn in the video. Everyone was cheering and screaming and laughing by the time we got up there... it was great! Ralph must've spent hours editing the whole thing because there were tons of sound effects and music playing in the background. It was a HUGE success!
