[jeffhor]

[MetsRule1969]

I heard this video is gonna be on TV soon... Congrats!

[floortom57]

This band is incredible! You guys should be higher than #1. Wow!!

[jeffhor]

I want to be #1 this month. lets make it happen people !!!!!

[jimboxlax]

I'd love to as well, but I think we've peaked at #5... Nothing to be ashamed of -- we rock!

[floortom57]

Peaked at #5?? No way!!

[jimboxlax]

Hey, im a dumbass, i just tried emailing you and got the dead aol acct message... email with the new info!

[wilddesign69]

Oh man, 11:00 a.m.??? I don't know if i can make it then!!! Can it be at 11:02.50seconds??? There is going to be a few traffic lights not on my side!!! HAHA

[wilddesign69]

James, I have a new E-mail address!!! I'll call you with it!! I checked out Meowmix's video. Very cool. When is shooting??????

[jimboxlax]

Hey Dwayne, will talk this Saturday at the shoot == 11am!

[jimboxlax]

Ok Riffsurfereenos, new mission...

Go over to MeowMix23 new video "Make Art" (Its on my page under my favorites and its in the description of this)

Comment, favorite & rate the hell out of it... MeowMix23 was VERY helpful to us on this video, so lets return the favor!!!

[RiffSurfers]

Jimbo, that would be "MeowMixX23" -- spell it right, yo LOL

[RiffSurfers]

Hey they finally updated the honors thing... We were at #5, but someone snuck in!! Probably will be rolling off soon now that the month is over...

[jeffhor]

what the hell is this life all about?

[jennakeys]

Can't get myself up on my feet.......

[jeffhor]

sorry, I was drunk when I wrote that.

[EdMutz]

Shouldnt this video be in position #5 instead of #10?

[Sriff]

So when are you guys going to be playing again?

[MetsRule1969]

That guitar smash was killer!

[wilddesign69]

You got that right..... So James, any more discussion about the next one?? Jeff isn't talking. HAHA

[jimboxlax]

Not yet bro... Getting the Cd out(and all the stuff goin into that) is the high priority now...

[wilddesign69]

OK, You guys are killing me..... But it would make for a good behind the scenes real.....

[jimboxlax]

As Little Steven would say "It's ALL bloopers" LOL

[jimboxlax]

Hey Jeff, rmemeber the scene in the Wedding Singer (Adam Sandler movie) where they make the limo driver go thru the road test from hell even tho they knew they were going to give him the job from the start?

We should come up with the audition from hell for Dwayne.. Have him running thru his lines while people throw things at him... Make him run his lines as if he's a 12 yr old girl in pigtails... Oh the scenarios we could come up with... But i only have 38 characters left in the message!

[jennakeys]

That sounds awesome!!!!! We can have lots of fun with that! Hee hee hee

[jeffhor]

we are so doing that!!!!!!

[wilddesign69]

You are so right!!! Lead roll rocks!!!!

[jeffhor]

hey james, I'm missing our conversations.

[jimboxlax]

Me too, dont take it personally tho - i cant hear that good, and if talk for a while i start going into coughing fits...

I'm pretty happy we rescheduled Sunday! I spent the morning in the ER trying to get prescriptions filled out...

[jimboxlax]

Don't worry, little buckaroo - it was your first audition in a while... If you learned what you did wrong, so that you can correct it for the next audition, then you still had a productive day...

[humdinger1999]

OK, Thanks Guys, But i feel that i did not do as well as i had hoped. I gave it a shot, i could have done better. Thanks everyone!!!

[jeffhor]

Hey brother, don't be to hard on your self. your just gettin your feet wet. there will be plenty more chances.

[jeffhor]

don't forget you still have leading roll in the next riffsurfer video!!!!!

[jeffhor]

almost there guys !!!!

[jeffhor]

did you talk to your buddy from law school?

[jeffhor]

hey james, did ya look over that record deal from interscope yet?

[jimboxlax]

Hey Jeff, i looked over the Interscope deal, and I think we can do better..

[jennakeys]

They wouldn't give us personal masseuses, eh?

[RiffSurfers]

No, Jimbo got us the masseuses, bu I think the sticking point is that he wants them to give us our own line of Surfboards.

[RichardYoungLions]

Knock em dead tomorrow Dwayne!

[jimboxlax]

Nice snowy day -- what better way to spend it watching the RiffSurfers!

[gore5757]

Why was Sriff so intent on identifying where the video was shot?

[jimboxlax]

Who knows? Maybe he recognized something?

[Sriff]

Sorry, didnt realize i was intense... Just recognized the place and wanted to show off a bit...

I mean how often does it happen when a place you actually like (and isnt a major location like the Stone Pony) shows up uncredited in a cool video?

Plus, it doesnt hurt to give the owner Jim of Red Bank Rehearsal Studio some free publicity...Right? He is a cool guy and all that...

[jimboxlax]

good idea!

[humdinger1999]

Thanks James. I'll be polite. I think she is a pretty woman with tons of talent. My number is........ LOL

[jimboxlax]

Oh and best of luck on Sunday man!

[jimboxlax]

For a real count, go to the RiffSurfers main YouTube page, then click the (13) in the Videos midway down the page.. It'll show all the videos, then click both the most viewed/most discussed buttons and you'll get a pretty accurate count..

[MetsRule1969]

Good luck WildDesign!

[wilddesign69]

Seems that the view counter is on the slow side.

[jimboxlax]

A lot of things on Youtube are on the slow side... We should have gotten out of #10 a few days ago...

[wilddesign69]

I know..... Meowmixx is very attractive....I am going to refrain from saying anything about Jenna as she has a man...That i know

[jimboxlax]

Only nice and polite things about Jenna & MeowmixX23...  And SexyGirlfromJersey too.. (Jeff/Dwayne you hear that?? No hitting on them!)

[wilddesign69]

Everyone wish me luck for Sunday!!!! I'z gonna be a big TV star!!!

[EdMutz]

Good luck!! Hope you get it!

[wilddesign69]

Come on,,,,we need top 5 today!!!

[humdinger1999]

Do i have to reload the page everytime i want to leave a message?

[EdMutz]

I know I have to reload the page!

[humdinger1999]

I am fighting a cat on my keyboard to leave this message. Riffsurfers rule!!!

[EdMutz]

Your cat just wants to say hi to Jenna & Sami (meowmixx23) for their meowing personalities...

[EdMutz]

And you only need like 15 or so commwnts to get into the Top 5 position...

[EdMutz]

Hey do you guys know that you hit 2000 views?

Congrats...

[humdinger1999]

Thanks Jenna, !!!Kapow!!! Yo, Mama!!!

[humdinger1999]

Johnny Bravo is a wacky weirdo' of a cartoon character on Cartoon Network!!! HAHA

[jennakeys]

I LOVE Johnny Bravo!

[EdMutz]

Johnny Bravo was also Greg's made up rock star on the Brady Bunch too...

[humdinger1999]

Mary had a little lamb, he got out and the red neck neighbor did bad things to him!!! Bad neighbor!!!

[jimboxlax]

i got nothing on this one LOL

[humdinger1999]

It's not easy writing over and over again. Hey, I need an Agent!!! Someone get me an acting gig, Oh ya, James is working on a fun project. I am going to be the next Johnny Depp. Ya!!! JK!!!

[jimboxlax]

I think you misunderstood...i said you'll be the next Johnny Bravo (i think thats the name of greg Brady's alter-ego right?)

[humdinger1999]

Wish i had the time to spend just to sit and write here all day. I am one of Jeff's first fans, Just because i have known him since the birth of his playing!!! HAHA

[jimboxlax]

Yesterday (And apparently today) had lots of free time at home -- picked up the flu(probably from some germ carrying audience member at the Stone Pony... Blah!

[EdMutz]

Feel better -- you never know what you're gonna pick up in Asbury Park! HAHA Just kidding

[humdinger1999]

How did the meeting go last night James? Jeff ran a few ideas by me just before he got to your house!!!

[jimboxlax]

Hey Dwayne, meeting went well, mostly spoke about the upcoming photo shoot - which is high priority this week...

(Video wont start for at least 2 weeks - so we've got time)

[Sriff]

Hey did I tell anybody, I've got my own videos? Im so intent on praising the Riffsurfers, that I neglect to mention my own stuff... Go check my profile!

[jimboxlax]

And you think I'm gonna let you promote your stuff here after you just killed the "magic"?????

Yeah, i guess you know me pretty well LOL

[EdMutz]

Ok, wow, so many -- I'll stop there -- Youtube didnt beat me -- I just got tired...

[jimboxlax]

Nice to know that Youtube didnt beat you.. And thanks! - I think?

[EdMutz]

Did I mention how much I like this song?!

[EdMutz]

Still going

[EdMutz]

Whoa its more than 5

[EdMutz]

What the comment max per day?

[EdMutz]

Can I be in it?

[MetsRule1969]

I'd like to be in it too...

[EdMutz]

Will it be filmed in Asbury Park?

[EdMutz]

Which song is the next video?

[EdMutz]

So when is the next video coming out?

[MetsRule1969]

Yeah, when is the next video?

[jimboxlax]

Dont know when the next video is going to happen, but its on the table now... If you're in the area, and you'd be willing to appear, drop me a line...

[humdinger1999]

I would be willing to tell you for a nominal fee!!! James, any money taken in for information will be used to fund all projects pertaining to Riffsurfers. HAHA

[Sriff]

Appreciate the offer but i know, for absolute sure, that that is the Red Bank Rehearsal Studio ran by the dude who is in the band Monster Magnet

[jimboxlax]

Dork (j/k) way to spoil the "magic"!

[Sriff]

Hey isn't the opening scene set in the Red Bank Rehearsal Studio?  Thats why it looks so familar!!!

[jimboxlax]

How come we havent jumped up to the # 6 spoy yet -- its been a few days!

[humdinger1999]

Wow, some of the posts i made yesterday are showing up now... HAHA Asbury Park is a great place to see some local ROCK AND ROLL BANDS (RiffSurfers for Life)

[humdinger1999]

We are going to be there very soon and when we do!!!!!!!! We are going to talk about it!!! HAHA. Is everyone feeling very optomistic about the next video? I am!!!

[jimboxlax]

The next video is gonna be awesome-tacular!

[jennakeys]

We've got almost 2,00 views! NICE!

[jimboxlax]

sometime during today we lost 30 views.. I really dont understand the YouTube updating system!

[Sriff]

It seems YouTube across the board is having problems today...

[jimboxlax]

If YouTube updates soon, iu think we just got to the #6 spot...

[humdinger1999]

I am sorry, I was told to keep that secret. I would be killed!!!!

[jimboxlax]

Its true he would be... That's highly confidential.

However, if you need a good place to rehearse your band when down in Red Bank, Red Bank Rehearsal Studio might be a good place to go.

[Sriff]

Thanks humdinger...  Where in Red Bank?

[RichardYoungLions]

Marie became fixed in the imagination of Springsteen fans around the world in 1973 with a line in his song "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)": "Did you hear, the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do."

[EdMutz]

Madame Maries is at the 1:30 mark in the video...

[jimboxlax]

Thanks for posting that!

[humdinger1999]

Watching it again!!!!!!

[humdinger1999]

It was filmed in a studio in Burbank California that is owned by Jeffs friend Mark Whalburg!!! HAHA JK. It was in Red Bank!!

[jimboxlax]

Great keeping the movie magic alive Dwayne! LOL The correct answer would have been "only our director knows for sure" LOL

[MetsRule1969]

LOL

[MetsRule1969]

Oh sh*t! Madame Maries from the Bruce Springsteen song is in there!!!  i thought they tore that down!

[Sriff]

Wow, you're right! i thought they tore that place down myself... I think I need to revisit Asbury Park before everything I knew as a kid disappears!

[jimboxlax]

Hey Shelly, its an awesome place to be right now... Theres till some old school stuff around, but there is a positive vibe of hope surrounding it..

[jimboxlax]

It's still there -- It actually looked like it was still being used too... I think i read that Madame Marie's daughter took over... or something like that...

[RichardYoungLions]

from a 2004 New York Times article:

Marie Castello, who told fortunes out of a shack she called the Temple of Knowledge for 65 years, has returned to the tiny Asbury Park landmark after a seven-year hiatus.

Marie re-emerged, appropriately enough, on July 4, 2004.

[Sriff]

Thank you for the info!

[jimboxlax]

and for posting that too..

[MetsRule1969]

Was it really filmed inside the Stone Pony?

[Sriff]

I dont think it was filmed inside the Stone Pony... Every picture I've seen has the Big Stone Pony logo behind the band... But the RiffSurfer logo is covering the wall, so I'm not sure..

[MetsRule1969]

Hey, that smashing of the guitar in this video was great... Bet there was only one take!

[humdinger1999]

Das right!!!!

I got into work this morning and left a message and i still don't see it!!!

[jimboxlax]

Well this one showed up... I think this morning theres was a bug with Youtube.. I logged in and it said we had 40 comments less than what I remembered last night...

[jimboxlax]

Tell me about it! Trying to respond to everything is hard work!!!

For the record, let it be known that "RiffSurfer Jenna" has been doing her part here...

[jennakeys]

Wow! It's getting hard to keep up in here! Wooo! Did this makes us #9?  The fellow surfers keep getting buried in the shuffle! We're here!

[jeffhor]

I can't believe its 1 am. guess I'm gonna be late again.

[jimboxlax]

Sorry bro...  Sleeps overrated anyway!

[Sriff]

When is your next show?

[RichardYoungLions]

Good question -- do you guys actually play shows?

[jimboxlax]

I'll defer to Jeff on that one...

[sexygirlfromjersey]

I've been checkin out some of your live stuff on hear. great stuff. more people should check it out.

[sexygirlfromjersey]

I guess there where to many characters.

[EdMutz]

Theres a lot of characters here, I can tell you!!! LOL

[sexygirlfromjersey]

[sexygirlfromjersey]

This video never gets old.

[EdMutz]

I agree!

[sexygirlfromjersey]

I can't wait to meet all of you guys.

[jeffhor]

I did'nt freeze my ass off to be #10. where are all my other surfers?

[EdMutz]

[jeffhor]

I get no respect. we should be #1

[jeffhor]

[jeffhor]

[EdMutz]

Not yet -- soon

[RichardYoungLions]

You know, you guys just unofficially made it to #9

[RichardYoungLions]

[jimboxlax]

Woo hoo!

[sexygirlfromjersey]

I'll make it up to you with lots of comments.

[sexygirlfromjersey]

[jimboxlax]

[sexygirlfromjersey]

[jimboxlax]

[sexygirlfromjersey]

[EdMutz]

[sexygirlfromjersey]

Its been to long!!!!

[jeffhor]

I might be close to my comment limit.

[jimboxlax]

Its probably better that theres a comment limit LOL We'd be here all day!

[jeffhor]

just alittle closer !!!

[jeffhor]

almost there guys !!!!

[jeffhor]

wow !!!!

[humdinger1999]

OK,OK Lets move up 5 spots at a time!!! We can do it!!!!

[jimboxlax]

As you get towards the top of the pack, jumping up 5 spots is going to be really tough... But what the hell, if we can do it, full steam ahead!

[jimboxlax]

#10 now! We've entered the magic zone now... Lets see what happens (as we try to get even higher)

[MetsRule1969]

#10 -- thats great! Congratulations!

[jimboxlax]

Thanks!

[EdMutz]

Hey, what happens now that you're in the top 10?

[jimboxlax]

I don't really know... I didnt plan that far ahead LOL

[EdMutz]

by the way, Congratulations for getting in there!

[jimboxlax]

Thanks!

[humdinger1999]

Meow!! You are coming to Jersey to tape your video......????? If i were an exec. i would sign you right after the surfers!!

[jimboxlax]

Errrrr.... Hey Dwayne, I think you got your Meow stories mixed up... She's got some great videos (check her profile), and she gonna go on her tour down here in NJ... Hopefully we'll be able to play a show together!

I would absolutely sign her - My plan is to make the RiffSurfers a huge hit, and then sign Sami (provided nobody else snaps her up before then)!

[MetsRule1969]

if MeowMixX23 is coming to Jersey, i want to meet her! She's hot!

[EdMutz]

Not only is she hot, she has the talent to back it up. I want to meet her too
