Very excited to finally announce the overwhelmingly nice details of next Friday, September 18th’s screening of “Blondes in the Jungle and Friends,“ a program named so because not only are all the contributors friends, but also because their videos and films are v friendly with the movie - in terms of thematics, looks, feelings, vibes, moments, moods, etc.

Info below, soon to be linked out.

Too much!

I can’t even tell you how siked we are to have the Blondes festival premiere at the Chicago Underground Film Festival. I mean, just check this trailer!!

Here’s the flyer for the program we’re in. We made it so it emphasizes us, but seriously everybody in this program but us is a heavyweight video-artist or filmmaker in the best kinda way. Duh, but “Coconuts and Cocaine” is the show I’m most siked about at CUFF.

P.S. The CUFF website has a review section. If you’ve seen the film already and can post a line or two of thoughts, please do. Nobody out there has any idea what to expect!

To our honor and proudness, Pitchfork has recently Forkcasted two tracks from the soundtrack of Blondes in the Jungle.

Yo! DL the “The Fountain” and “Blair” and ENJOY!

Below: the label design for Bug-Off, the bug spray from the movie. Doesn’t it look like a Ska LP?

Alright. Truth? Ada Egloff taught me how to dress when I was 17. Soo…Daily Candy, Philadelphia City Paper, Uwishunu, um…Teen Vogue…Paper…I knoooowwww!! Right?!

We’re v siked about screening Blondes in the Jungle at Ada’s new Philly shop Oma this Friday. There’ll be $2 beers and wines (I’m thinking maybe even some sparkling wines) and a definitely warm, fun vibe. Plus music. Speaking of which, it’s been a minute since I’ve pushed the Blondes Inspirational Mix, at you right? Enjoy.

Oh and thanks to B. for sending me this today (I think cuz of its obvious Blonvergent qualities, right?) – way weirder/better than the blurb might suggest.

Well done dudes. Genuine class and Very siked for tmw’s screening.

But if can’t make it or didn’t make reservations, don’t sweat. Cuz announcing

The Blondes World/SF premiere was a devastating success. And afterwards, the reception we got was just ridiculous. Two words, dudes: Foie gras!

Photos to come.

Thanks San Francisco.
