Jeff Slostad:
A night with THE OATMEAL
Jeff Slostad:
Some of us got there early, bought the book, and giggled
Jeff Slostad:
Laughing quietly on the inside
Jeff Slostad:
And then he showed up
Jeff Slostad:
Made some faces at his computer
Jeff Slostad:
And this lady runs up out of nowhere to challenge him to a rap battle
Jeff Slostad:
He beat-boxed for a bit, then threw down some rhymes that were both insightful and skillful
Jeff Slostad:
Threw the mic to the ground and stared at her until she just walked away
Jeff Slostad:
Then he started the presentation, but the color was off on the projector, so everything was black and white
Jeff Slostad:
He then looked at me, asked if I was ready, I gave him the thumbs up, and things got started
Jeff Slostad:
He began his presentation with some background material
Jeff Slostad:
Here you can see the before and after
Jeff Slostad:
He then spent a fair amount of time talking about this girl named Justine for some reason
Jeff Slostad:
followed by some slides about pixelated testicles
Jeff Slostad:
it was actually a fairly serious presentation at that point
Jeff Slostad:
And then things got crazy, when he started asking the crowd for questions. You can see the amusement in his face.
Jeff Slostad:
He is starting to wonder if any of us are sane at this point.
Jeff Slostad:
And here you can clearly see his "what you talkin bout Willis" moment.
Jeff Slostad:
After which, it became clear that he was enjoying this part as much as us
Jeff Slostad:
And then he asked if I had gotten enough good shots, I said yes, and he signed about 400 books, which likely went on for hours.
