It always takes me a few days to come down from the experience. I think I m almost there, though I still catch myself thinking that Brooklyn is a dream, and being onboard a giant cruise ship is my real life.
First of all: holy BEANS that was a good time! This was the third year we ve done JoCo Cruise Crazy, and we ve learned a lot each year about how to run an event cruise. This was the best so far in my opinion. Everything seemed to run pretty smoothly, or else there were enough people shielding me from the bad stuff that it felt that way, and either situation is fine with me! I can t thank Paul and Storm and Scarface enough for all their hard work, not to mention the army of volunteer helper monkeys who held the whole thing together. vancouver island bc kayaking tours Scarface in particular was working his poor little hideously disfigured butt off while the rest of us were chilling with tropical beverages. He gets an extra ration of gruel (and once his gruel debt is paid off, he will be able to eat gruel again, so yay Scarface!).
The Sea Monkeys continue to own this thing. I say it every time, and it was truer than ever this year, but so much of what happens just grows naturally out of this huge group of wonderful people being together in the same place at the same time. The shadow cruise is where it s at. It would be dishonest for me to take credit for ALL the awesomeness. Though I will say that we had a great lineup of performers, old and new, and in addition to the wonderful, funny, moving stuff they did on stage, their presence at all sorts of non-performative hangout type events really made it feel like a giant weeklong party. Such a great vibe.
A few favorite moments: the Double Clicks self-doubting Mars Rover song , the increasingly ridiculous Mike Phirman birthday gag, John Roderick s debut of a BRAND NEW SONG, Hodgman s cruise ship emergency government plan, his riffing on cylinders with Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy, Joseph Scrimshaw s story about french kissing a bear, celebrity Artemis (one of those I can t believe this is my job moments ), Zoe Keating blowing everyone s heads off and making everyone cry so that our tears became the sea and the sea was somehow INSIDE HER CELLO, Randall Munroe s solar system physics tweaks on John Roderick s airplane story, the incredible scene that was the Hodgman/Rees vancouver island bc kayaking tours DJ Danceparty Showdown , me getting riddled with bullets during Wil Wheaton s Robocop sitcom reading, and Storm s apparently epic karaoke moment (which vancouver island bc kayaking tours I did NOT EVEN SEE and will always regret), and most of all, my new favorite thing ever, live band karaoke with Christian and Adam and you. And that s just the official events it barely scratches vancouver island bc kayaking tours the surface. So much stuff.
We ve already gotten a ship for next year, and I cannot recommend strongly enough that everyone in the world book passage thereon. We ll be on Royal Caribbean s Independence of the Seas, February 23 March 1, 2014, sailing from Ft. Lauderdale to Georgetown, Grand Cayman; Falmouth, Jamaica; vancouver island bc kayaking tours and Labadee, Haiti. At the moment booking is only open to Sea Monkeys vancouver island bc kayaking tours who were on JCCC3, but we ll open it up to the general public very soon.
It was totally awesome, AGAIN, and having been to all of them, I have a whole lot of expectations that it shouldn t be able to live up to. I always wonder vancouver island bc kayaking tours whether the performers get to have as much fun as we do, because vancouver island bc kayaking tours you probably miss a lot of the shadow cruise, and since you re the guy whose name is on the cruise, people are most likely to act awkwardly around you. I love your fans and your famous friends vancouver island bc kayaking tours and you, and all the interactions between everyone, and I will continue to sign up for this cruise blindly without knowing much about who the performers will be or where it s going, because it s the best community I ve ever been a part of. Thank you for having the audacity vancouver island bc kayaking tours to make a fan cruise for yourself; it sounds vancouver island bc kayaking tours like kind of a crazy/arrogant thing to do I guess, but it s the good kind of crazy.
Thanks so much to you, Paul and Storm, Scarface, all the helper monkeys and everyone vancouver island bc kayaking tours else for making this year s events full of so much awesome! We had such a great time and love being a part of such a wonderful sea monkey family. So looking forward to next year!
I can t thank those who worked their butts off and those who were just being their normal awesome selves enough. I ve had the time of my life on all three JoCoCruiseCrazys and I hope to continue vancouver island bc kayaking tours to do so! 3 3 3
Thanks a million to you and the crew for entertaining us and being so increasingly receptive, personal interactive with us. I m really glad I was introduced to your music a few years back and these cruises further solidify my love of what you re doing. Keep it up JoCo you ve got a small army behind you. Cheers, P
Unless vancouver island bc kayaking tours Spring Break! *Goes to check when it is next year at the schools I ve applied to* DAMMIT, it s a week AFTER the cruise at 2 of the schools I ve applied to But it looks like the cruise is being a week later every year, so I have a chance at JCCC5, right? RIGHT!?
JoCoCruiseCrazy 3 was one of the best weeks of my life. Concerts, Meeting, Chatting with all the performers was excellent but I have to admit my experiences with all the other sea monkeys was probably the greatest moments of my week. Sharing dinner, games in the game room, enjoying fellow sea monkeys tearing up the stage during live band karaoke . What an amazing week with the world s greatest people. Thank you so much to my fellow vancouver island bc kayaking tours Sea Monkeys and all the entertainers!
