Over the summer, I found myself in the fine state of Washington for the 3rd time. This time I was there with a purpose; my cousin & dear friend, Anne, was getting married. During the reception, which took place mere feet from the Pacific Ocean, I roamed around with my video camera. I asked the guests for 6 words for the bride & groom. In many cases, I didn’t get exactly 6, but I did get to make a fun little video. I hope you enjoy it.

Please remember that you can find me on Vimeo over at Hyphen Home Movies.

I took some videos in July and finally got around to editing them. Please to enjoy the colors in the sky.

July 2011. Fireworks display in Salisbury, MA and Merrimack, NH.
Song is “A Spaceship for Now” by RJD2.

Don’t forget, you can find me on Vimeo (and Flickr and Twitter and …)

Last week I posted Part 1 of the Hyphenfest 2011 videos. Please enjoy the downward spiral. By the way, due to some of my more “vocal” friends, these videos might be considered not safe for work, so view them when you get home and have a beer in hand.

Rated PG13 – As the sun sets, our day begins. Energy is renewed, blood mixes with ethanol, and a bunch of nerds discuss Tron for far too long.

Songs: Something from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack, I think.

Rated R – $2.99 for six beers, what could be better? Perhaps, Shoes in 3D? The party spills outside. We reach the peak.

Rated NC17 – Does anyone even use this rating any more? Isn’t it a financial kiss of death? The spiral plummets downward.

Song: “Animal Rap (Arturo Gatti Mix)” Jedi Mind Tricks

Be sure to check the Hyphensite Vimeo channel from time to time, as I think I am going to start uploading the occasional home movie. I’ll try to keep it interesting.

A few months ago, I uploaded a poster for my annual ironic-narcissist-what-have-you birthday celebration, Hyphenfest.  Typically, I take about 1,000 incriminating photos and post them up on Facebook. However, this year I turned to video. Please enjoy two of five videos from Hyphenfest 2011.

A gathering.

Song: “Numb” by Blueprint

The request was that gifts cost no more than $10, preferably free. It is up to the creativity and ingenuity of the guest to provide a gift worthy of memory. Sadly, not all great items could fit into the video, so thank you to all who attended.

Song: “Wild Life” by Lazerbeak

Come back next week when the next set of home movies are posted!
