In what’s being called “the biggest news of your life,” the video mashing comedy stylings of Everything is Terrible! is headed back to St. Louis on July 2nd, with the debut of a new live show and their new movie entitled “2Everything2Terrible2: Tokyo Drift”.

Never heard of them? Good thing we have this blockquote for you.

Everything Is Terrible! was started in 2007 as a way for a group of friends with a serious VHS habit to swap footage. It has since evolved into a full blown internet phenomenon, appearing on Videogum, Gawker, Buzzfeed, The Daily What, The Huffington Post, The Onion A.V. Club, Boing Boing, NPR, MTV, Web Soup, and G4’s Attack of the Show! We were even in some newspapers (whatever those are) called the Chicago Tribune and LA Weekly.

Though a little chilly for a Saturday in May, we took to the streets to head over to Cherokee Street’s Cinco de Mayo celebration. Arriving just in time to catch the parade allowed us the chance to snap possibly our favorite photo of all time (above).

6 hours, 5 tacos, 1 margarita, and tons of photos later we realized we had spent the whole day down there and it was time to head back and put together the video below.

We aren’t usually one to self-aggrandize, but we do want you all to know that our fearless and sexy editor, Mike Flynn, will be on the panel for this month’s Social Media Club talk at the Pepper Lounge this Thursday the 17th (tomorrow!).  The topic will be “Old Media vs New Media”

From the event’s page on eventbrite:

Join us for a panel about the changes in media including representatives from the local blogosphere, the Riverfront Times, Channel 4 News, NPR, & the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Washed-up kids science show host and recurring guest “star” on CBS’ drama Numb3rs Bill Nye is coming to speak at St. Louis University at the Busch Student Center building on February 16th.  

The topic of his talk will be “More with Less: How Saint Louis University Students are Going to Change the World.”  See the brilliance of it is putting the school he happens to be at is right in the title of the speech!  This can’t fail.  On a related note, I’ve heard from several rock groups that St. Louis is “the rockin’-est city in the world!”
