Somewhere between the innocent fairs of your youth and the sinister carnival of your most terrifying dreams, the Ragbag of Jollification will offer up a heaping helping of merchandising with generous sides of free shit and genuine fun times -- like games that are sort of like midway games but weirder. For example, "Oh Yell No -- yell as loud as you can while competing with a fellow yeller," says Moscatelli. Or there's "Babies Vs. Old People, which is destined to become a new classic -- you stand on a Segway and use a slingshot to propel babies to knock down old people." Ah, if only all games could somehow factor in Segways and knocking down old people. There's also something called "Black Hole Fun" and an owl that tells fortunes.
This is all free, by the way.
Speaking of free shit, Adult Swim has a boatload of stuff to give away: everything from merchandise-themed laptop cases to merchandise-themed plush toys to merchandise-themed T-shirts. Get this, though: Even though it's all merchandise-themed, the T-shirts are screen-printed on-site -- you pick the style, color, size, design and where you want it -- which, in the world of merchandising tie-ins is pretty much as legit as it comes. Plus, there will be the pop-psychedelia of Wavves.Consider our love bought, Moscatelli.
The fun starts tonight at 6 p.m. Buffalo Plaza, on the CU-Boulder campus, between Folsom Stadium and the Batch Fieldhouse, and lasts until 11. And like the parent who abandoned you and stunted your emotional growth to the point where your only coping mechanism is to try to recapture your stolen childhood by watching cartoons, Adult Swim is buying.
