Saturday Night Live has concluded its season and now it’s going to be a long summer before the new season starts up again with Lonely Island Digital Short goodness.

I guess this poses a question I have for the readers. Is there anything you’d like to see more of on this blog? The Hot Rod costume post seems to be one of my most viewed and asked about. I know it isn’t thorough in the start to finish instructions of how and where to get all the materials, but maybe people would like to see a more in depth instructional on making this costume from start to finish? Halloween is months away and I know people have been inquiring about it via e-mail.

I just don’t want to recycle previously reported stuff to you guys in a different form and make sure that whatever you are reading is new and unique from previous posts. I’m more a fan of quality over quantity.

Anyway hope everyone is well and having a good Summer so far. Take care and hope to see some comments from you!

Thanks!

If you didn’t know already, Universal Music seemed to like “Incredibad” so much that they’ve signed The Lonely Island for two more albums. I read that they cranked out a majority of their first album music during the Summer of 2008, so my guess is that they’ll probably be doing the same thing this Summer and then launching their second album early next year. Hopefully somewhere in between that they decide to launch a national tour of some kind. Here I am one of their biggest admirers of their work, have a bunch of signed items, and have yet to have met any of them in-person! It’s my hope to be able to meet them and maybe have my own interview with them in the near future. And I wouldn’t ask them questions most everyone now knows the answers to like “How did you guys meet?” I’ve seen about 10 interviews where that question was asked. Sheesh!

As far as films, I sure hope a signature Lonely Island movie is in the works. I think it would be totally off-the-wall hilarious as their Digital Shorts have consistently been over the last few years. Personally I’d be rooting for skipping making a “Hot Rod 2″ and just go for the gold and create the ultimate “Hot Rod 3-D!” experience (Yeah I know… ain’t gonna happen).

On the subject of “Hot Rod” I think the film is still the best comedy and I don’t care what anyone says. I think it was made a little too early though in terms of the mass audience really being aware of The Lonely Island’s presence in the mainstream and for that the film suffered at the box office. Had it been a film maybe coming out this year I think it would have fared a lot better monetarily, but then again there seems to be a huge awareness of the film out there. I’m surprised the people I’ve talked to have actually more seen it than not. Often if I mention it to someone in conversation I hear, “Oh my god! I love that movie!” For a film that didn’t do too well in theaters an awful lot of people have sure seen it! In the back of my mind I was hoping Andy would have made his entrance at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards as a cameo Rod Kimble on his moped.

All 3 have expressed that they really do enjoy where they are at now in their positions at SNL. I wonder how many years they are contracted to be there? I would think after they’re done with SNL and still want to be in television (as they seem to thoroughly enjoy) that they’d pretty easily get picked up to do their own show. I think the fan base and target audience is definitely there to make it successful.

I hope this wasn’t a boring post for all my readers. I would like to know what your thoughts have been and where you think things are headed next?

Thanks for reading!

I decided I’d just go for it and send off my large 11×14 photo, a nice letter and some goofy photos and extras of my Hot Rod Costume I made and props to show my true fandom, hoping to maybe get all 3 sigs on my photo. Being as especially right now how extremely busy these guys are now with juggling SNL and the upcoming MTV Movie Awards (I don’t know how they do it flying back and forth from NY to CA). I don’t know how they still manage to answer their fan mail, unless I’m the only one, HAHA! I highly doubt it.

So fast forward to today my fiancee’ waved a big envelope in the air as I got home and I couldn’t believe I got it back! All 3 dudes signed it. I think maybe they’re starting to remember me a bit from previous fan mail based on Akiva’s personalized message. What do you think?

Extremely wonderful success and can’t wait to frame it up on my wall o’ Island. Thanks so much Akiva, Andy and Jorma! I promise I won’t write again for a long while. You guys are truly awesome to your fans!
