For its Second Anniversary, Ghostbar, As Always, Overindulges

Thu Jul 03, 2008 at 09:16:34 AM

On the occasion of Ghostbar's second anniversary, the folks at N9NEGroup Dallas posted to Vimeo what must be the world's longest video slide show -- I bailed at the 12:47 mark (and stopped paying attention long before that), which isn't even halfway through the epic. Though, really, I'd have ended it around the two-minute mark, once it ran out of celebrities, by which I mean people you might at least recognize. Because you know what's coming after that. Jump for the video. --Robert Wilonsky

All-a-board, next stop doucheville.

Matt Minyard says:

VOMIT.

monkey god says:

I think I saw Mike Ryner.

Tim W. says:

I'll see Matt's VOMIT, and raise him a BARF.

Lakewooder says:

May the air biscuits of a thousand flatulent camels decend upon the nostrils of these $36K schmucks.

Ships anyone?

tanner says:

You dorks are just haters! Happy 2nd Ghostbar, I'm tripping on these pics!

See you tonight, if you dorks can get in!

akm says:

this dork would rather be at the slip inn..

thanks though.

Waterlewd says:

The Slip Inn is where I go when I'm 'slumming it' or max-out the credit card. I'm running on empty right now so I'll see you there, bra. Who is spinning tonight?

Bethany says:

Robert, in all fairness, the beginning did use the words, "feels like a decade."

And Tanner, what are you, 12?

Tim W. says:

I'm guessing that's "Steph Tanner," Bethany. The implied meth addiction and dancing with pants off was the key.

Cut. It. Out.

Bethany says:

Tim W., did I ever tell you that you're my favorite American Airlines employee?

And I'm not just saying that because you're the only one I know. There was a really nice flight attendent that moved me away from Monsieur la Très Mauvaise Grande Odeur on a flight once - without me having to ask.

getnice says:

Waterlewd,

I believe its hip-hop night at the Slip Inn tonight. Are you a sexy lady? You are? Great. I'll meet you up there at 10 and we can get some dancing done. What's that? You're not sure you know how to dance? That's okay. I can't really dance either. I just flop my body around to the beat, and when that doesn't work I stand around awkwardly with a drink in my hand. What do you like to drink? A Hot Toddy? Do they make those there? I'll tell you what, I'll bring a thermos full of Hot Toddy and we can hide in the bathroom and fill their glasses with our drink. How's that sound? No! I'm not suggesting we go to the bathroom together! I don't expect pee observation privileges until at least the 10th date. Just kidding! Hey, I really gotta get back to work. 10 o'clock tonight, right? Great. What did you just say? That you're a construct of my imagination? You're so funny, Waterlewd. This is going to be the best imaginary date ever, I can just tell.

tanner says:

I knew you nerds would talk smack. You make me laugh. I got nothing but love for the observer, but those are my people on that slideshow. If anyone wants to roll up to Ghostbar so see the real party side of Dallas, you come find me and I will buy you a drink - ask for Tanner, I'll be at a table with Phil Cox, of Suite and tons of honeys.

ChrisU says:

Tanner- I'd like to take you up on your offer. Be bringin' a couple of my buds from the shelter. What's the password?

SadButTrue says:

Slip Inn is so over with.

That's what happens when you ditch hip-hop music for played-out bullshit like drum and bass, gimmicky mash-ups (please!) and tired old Michael Jackson crap.

Was fun while it lasted.

f them douches says:

thats worse than some teenage girls Slide show on MySpace. i have never seen someone blow themselves for as long as that thing lasted.

Bethany says:

Do you um, normally watch someone blow themselves?

Matt Minyard says:

WOW tanner! you know "the" Phil Cox!

http://www.philcox.org/

Can we share a bible or should I bring my own. I bet you can't wait to Phil Cox.

tanner says:

Thats right, Phil Cox to the max.

I normally dont "feel Cox" but maybe you can hook up with that dude and watch someone blow themselves?

Tim W. says:

I've changed my mind, now I'm pretty sure tanner is just "self tanner." If you know what I mean...

akm says:

i haven't been to the slip inn in forever- i would just choose it over ghost bar. i'll take your word for it, sbt.

Waterlewd says:

Getnice -- Dude, I'm a bro, bra. Try filling up someone elses glass with your hot toddy.

*Gawd...the internet is just full of sickos.*

loopy ho mein says:

That's what happens when you ditch hip-hop music for played-out bullshit

Yeah, cuz hip hop isn't played out at all......

monkey god says:

Is that the same tanner (a.k.a.chris chris)from the Ticket's Duhnam & Miller Show?

BoomBap says:

*Yeah, cuz hip hop isn't played out at all......

Yep. I guess that's why Lil' Wayne sold a million CDs in three days and Three-Six Mafia is headed for the same numbers. Oh, Jay-Z and Kanye West and their recent platinum albums said to tell you hello.

Idiot.


Snoop Dog is the shiznit yo! says:

The only reason hip hop still sells is because there's nothing else out there, unless you like whiny indie shit or whiny emo shit. So give yourself a big pat on the back, your shittacular music sells because there's nothing else to buy.

Dumbass.

Oh_OK says:

Oh, I see now. ALL music is played out then.

here's what i know about the slip inn... hip-hop music packed it out, that other shit didn't. end of story.

80's Hair Bands says:

Hey! We sold millions too! Guess that means we don't suck ass after all!

90's Bald Bands says:

Yeah, but you're dead now.

next...

Speaking of dead says:

Oh noes! Nobody's buying our crappy music! Could it be because it's just a bunch of idiots talking over samples and programs? Nah, it must be because people just don't have good taste in music. Yeah that's it.....

Douchebag Central says:

The top three selling albums of 2007:

An artist with the Warner Music Group, Josh Groban, had the best-selling album, “Noël.” The album, a collection of Christmas songs, sold around 3.7 million copies.

A soundtrack for Walt Disney’s “High School Musical” franchise was second with about 2.9 million units sold.

The Eagles’ comeback album, “Long Road Out of Eden,” was third, selling about 2.6 million copies, despite being independently released and available for purchase only at Wal-Mart.


Sorry, but I'll take Lil' Wayne, Young Jeezy, Kanye West and 50 Cent over that hideous pile of bullshit any day.

monkey god says:

Never thought I would hear the words hideous and bullshit when describing the Eagles.

Irving Azoff's Wallet says:

You never would have heard The Eagles at all if their managers hadn't of paid off radio programs directors all over the country.

First it was David Geffen, then it was Azoff.

Now they're workin' a sweetheart deal with Wal-Mart.

So, yeah. Hideous bullshit sounds about right.


monkey god says:

Yeah the Eagles suck,they never had any musical talent,they use computers because they can't sing,they sample other peoples music because thet can't write their own.Lil Wayne will soon be in prison.I like Kanye but he's not a great rapper.Last time I heard 50 cent he was fighting with his X,something about a fire.I hate to tell you this but those with skins on the wall get sweetheart deals.I hate Garth Brooks but he's got skins and he got a sweetheart deal.

Blowhard says:

The Eagles are Cocaine Republicans, just like all of the sweaty blow monkeys at Ghostbar.

''Life in the Fast Lane"? Yeah, for any $39K Millionaire willing to pay $375 a ticket to see four guys who all hate each other bleating out "Take It Easy".

I know that when I think of talent, the first person who comes to mind is Joe freakin' Walsh.

monkey god says:

irving azoff you gave me the contract history of the Eagles and that they are without musical talent but you never gave your definition of talented musicians or rap artist.I suspect your a big fan of The Dead Kennedys.You might be yanking my chain on the whole thing since you go by Irving Azoff's wallet

monkey god says:

Blowhard give your opion of the eagles but not who you think is a good band.You guys know alot about a band that sucks.I couldn't tell you how much their tickets cost or what their political views were.Name me a good band whose members didn't hate each other.The Beatles not,Nirvana not,NWA not,The Who not,Guns and Roses not,The Osmonds ok one,The carpenters ok 2.

Cash Money Breakfast Where Dreams Come True... says:

The Eagles aren't a band, they're a Ltd. partnership. They stay in different hotels on the road and only speak to each other through their individual lawyers. By doing an exclusive distribution deal with WalMart they only expedite the eventual death of all music retail outlets.

See the timeline? Payola on the way in, gouged the fans at the box office, sued each other a few times, then screwed over the music stores who promoted them during the twilight of their "career".

Still feel good about your investment?

music retail outlets says:

I begain to die when the internet came along.That and when I started selling a $15 CD with one good song on it.I would still be around if I could sell a CD single for a $1.50.It would force artist and their labels to put more than one good song on the album.

Ghost Bra says:

Look, bra. These are the only bands left on the rock landscape: Ghosthustler, Ghostland Observatory, Ghostface Killah and Ghost Toast.


Ok, I made that last one up.

Visit The Eagles at your local wax museum.

Blowhard says:

Dood, I can think of over a dozen bands who are better than The Eagles: Ratt, White Lion, John Cougar, Dinosaur Jr., Gorillaz, Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Flipper, Crazy Horse, The Yardbirds, The Animals, Budgie, Stray Cats, Hawkwind, Faster Pussycat, and Steppenwolf all come to mind... and those are just the ones who see themselves as something out of National Geographic.

Look, this is clearly an issue of an elitist delineation of social strata. You and the Ghost Bar stall-sharers see your powder cocaine as the sacred dust of the entitled, and you think Lil' Wayne and his pocket fulla rocks are just too ghetto for a spot in your Administration.

So go build yourself a library or somethin'.

monkey god says:

blowhard
Lil Wayne,looks like that dude from Milli Vanilli.Next stop orange jumpsuit.I guess he's keepin it real.If Lil Wayne visited the ghostbar 1 time, which he probably has,that would be one more time than myself.TMZ has video of that dude visiting many upscale bars.

ChrisU says:

I crossed country music with hip-hop and got Kanye Twitty

Matt says:

I love Ghostbar! You can get a beer for only 34 bucks! HA!
Fuck Ghostbar, and fuck Dallas. It's easy to be 'rich' when you live in the cheapest major city in the U.S. Give me a break. Take your shit salary to L.A., then tell me how much of a 'baller' you are. Douchebags... the lot of you.
