Phlyin' Censored...

So we were robbed. We were forced to change our craft and skit drastically on the day before the event, only to fly the farthest and get no prize. We had fun, but we came to win. Something was fishy here, and it's not the Delaware River.

But a huge thanks to everyone near and far for all of their support. We had a great time regardless of the nonsense.

Phanatics Storm 93.3 WMMR!

We found a wonderful lady who wanted to wear the Phanatic outfit!!

Listen all ye people of radio!!!!! We, the Phlyin Phanatics, have broadcast ourselves over the US of Airwaves! And the story begins.... well the short story version.

7:00am - The morning begun a little hazy after burning the midnight oil finalizing our Phanatic costumes.
7:28am - B Reese swings by in the Outback to scoop me and the 4 Phanatic costumes. We split a Red Bull pounder to get the mind going, its glorious.

8:00am - Team rendezvous in the lobby of 93.3 WMMR. We are nervous with anticipation and partially confused as to why there is no ice machine in the building.

8:22am - ICE is here! We mix up some creamsicles for liquid intelligence. Phanatic suits are donned.

9:01am - Interview with the show goes well. Talk about ourselves some more and have a great time with the crew. We are on our way to spread our word of Flugtag domination.

12:01pm - We realize we were just on the radio.

Obviously thats just a recap. But today was an awesome time and such an honor to be on the P&S show. Really want to give big ups to our friends who hooked us up and got us on the show! Thank you!

Oh Hai Errybody!

We were just on Preston and Steve on WMMR!!!! Li'l Adam D crushed it on the mic while the rest of us dominated the webcam with SEXYYY Brittany and her college mansion crew... all of whom will be at OCTO tonite.

Anyway, we got the craft up onto the transport trailer (big up Doc Ellis) and we're pretty much ready to go. We load up on Thursday, ham it up for the cameras on Friday, and fly on Saturday. The boat is just about sold out, and it'll probably be the best barty/party u been to in the past decade, unless of course you were at Chason's 30th pizza party last Sunday. In that case it'll be a close call...

Keep an eye out for us on redbullflugtagusa.com (vid #4), citypaper, the philly Metro, 215 magazine, Phillyist, Preston and Steve on WMMR, and tonite on the news, and on some morning shows on Friday!!!

Don't forget the official after party at Gigi on Saturday!!!

ALSO MOST IMPORTANTLY: BE SURE TO TEXT "TEAM2" to RBULL starting FRIDAY at 2PM!!!!!!!!

Dilligent, Dastardly, Destined to WIN.

So we've been busy. Gigi hour, head, arms, costumes, FORMAN MILLS, red tights, Jelly Belly, and Arts & Crafts Power Hour......

If you were at Gigi on Thursday then we got you drunk and you're still our friend if you're still alive. If you were not at Gigi, then you're no longer our friend, and the only way to regain friendship status is to buy a shirt, buy a boat ticket, come to the send off party on Thursday September 2nd, and then cheer ur friendless heart out at the event. Then we may take you back. If you're capt'n lucky.

Oh yea, and u gotta text as many votes as possible starting FRIDAY at 2pm. To vote, you text "team2" to 72855. This goes for all of our friends, cousins, supporters, and John G. WE WANT THIS CROWD FAVORITE AWARD FOLKS. Your thumbs have a date with your cell phone from Friday at 2pm until Saturday at 4pm.

aaaaaaand:

FACETIME!!!

We've mastered this shit. LOOK AT THE FACE! We completed the face and arms, and we got 3/4ths of a huge Phillies hat in the works. So basically we gotta finish the jersey, the shoulder/neck area, that 1/4th of a hat, and the cart that this thing will roll on. I see the light.

Three dudes and a HUGE PLHYIN' PHANATIC.

Also this weekend we've decided that our costumes will also be Phanatics, and in doing so we've added about 25 hours of crafting/drinking/dedication time to our overall tally of man/woman hours. So after a family trip to Walmart, Jomar, Forman Mills, and 12 Steps Down (Sunday beers) we set up shop in Camille's living room for a little artsy craftsy power hour (there's an app for that) of phanatic fabrication. HUGE props to Camille and Bo Ram for helping us with the costumes. Best ladies on the planet, would not be possible without them.

PROPAGANDA

Get cha propoganda heeeha!!! Yup it's about time to litter this city with our faces and build our fan base for the big day. It's kinda like Pokemon, you gotta catch em all. But seriously, collect all five distinct designs and put them in some picture frames to stare at all day. If you can't tell yet we love ourselves some self. So in alphabetical order:

Adam - The Pilot

Bryan - The Connection

Dan - The Brain

Julie - The Liaison

Ryan - The Hammer

GET ON THIS BOAT!

In true Phylin Phanatic style we have put together the sickest way for our fans to watch the Red Bull Flugtag...right on the Delaware River!! So gather your friends and board the Captain Lucky! This little devil of a boat holds about 300 people and is a guaranteed flotilla of a good time. This will be ridiculously awesome so get your tickets NOW and cheer the Phlyin Phanatics to victory!!!

THE PLAN:
Captain Lucky will depart at 12 noon from Peir 24 on the Philly side, travel along the Delware and park with an awesome view of the event. Personally if we were not in the event you can bet we'd be on this boat. You will get food, and all you can drink, plus bathrooms. We plan on having a huge banner with our team name on it, as well as big score cards to rate other teams (we have to see if this is allowed). Flugtag will be a great time no matter where you are if you go, but this boat will be awesome and you don't have to carry around beers in a crowd.

DETAILS:
Tickets are $60.00
Includes food & ALL YOU CAN DRINK
Departs from Pier 24
401 N Columbus Blvd, Philadelphia
Board boat by 11:30 am. Depart at 12 noon. Sails until 4pm.
First Flugtag launch is at 1.
*We are finding out if kids can be free on the boat.

TICKETS:
Can be purchased on our site there is a button to buy tickets for the boat. **Include your name and the name of any other guests when you pay online** You will be put on THE LIST and be able to board the boat right there.

Tickets can be picked up at GIGIs beforehand, at the boat day of event (if spots are available), or from one of the Phlyin Phanatics members prior to day of.

OFFICAL™ AFTER PARTY AT GIGI Restaurant + Lounge. Yeah that's right, OFFICIAL.

Phanatics Shirts are IN!

Yup the second run of shirts are in! We changed up the logo a bit and this time had 100 made up. Over half of these are already spoken for so get your order in for your shirt today! I mean really do you want to be the only one of your friends without a Phlyin Phanatics shirt? The answer to that question is NO.

Grindin'

We grindin' folks, in an overtime style. Got the idea solidified for the body material (props to phil dahl for eyeing the material) and it looks quite good on the ass. In fact, it looks glorious. Got 95% of the paper mâché done, so our nights will be less drippy and sticky. Well, at least for some of us...

Phanatic ASS!

Head and snout

Propaganda!

BUY A TICKET! $60 includes all drinks and food

from 11:30am - 4pm ON A HUGE BOAT!

Phillies Red, Mâché

For a second we thought we had Phillies pink, but turns out that paint changes color when it dries, which was quite a relief. Wings are all painted up, and the body's got a turtlesque shell of Elmer's glue, Philadelphia Weekly, and Citypaper (NOT the daily's... apparently "doze cost us money"). We got our music and skit just about locked down, so now we're down to crunch time with the craft and cart. Anyone interested in helping out, holler at us... we'll be down there pretty much every night. We'll supply the Tecate. Oh, and someone please prime and paint my house real fast.

Also, DON'T FORGET!! YOU GOT PLANS ON THURSDAY!

2nd Street Festival SUCCESS

We showed up late, mangled, tired, and annoyed with gallons of melting water ice and plenty of foul language. It was a sorry scene, but at least we had the ice to peddle... or so we thought. It turns out that the city won't just let any still-drunk animals sell food to the masses, so we got about two scoops deep into the first of 6 fat buckets of water ice when the Board of Health stopped by, and they weren't interested in the Phlyin' Phanatic. Instead they shut down our ice operation, effectively shattering our fund raising hopes and dreams. At this point it really wasn't looking good. We were desperate, and we needed a hero. Enter Adam "Bob Ross" Denard with a face painting kit and a pep talk. It all began when Reese got a baseball painted on his cheek.

The idea drew much criticism, but the results were undeniable. The kids and their parents just started lining up before our eyes, and all the sudden business was booming. Spidermen, butterflies, skulls, dogs, you name it. Slater made a rum run and we were back in true form, shirts were sold, faces were painted, and the masses were educated of our quest to fly (crash) into the river on the 4th of September. Camille and Bo even stepped up and painted to ease the queue that was forming in front of our table. It was glorious, and everyone wore sunglasses. By the time the rains came we had stacked $257. Frowns turned upside-down!! Zing!

Phlyin Phanatic Shirts!!!

$15 bucks gets you a shirt and free high five. Well even autograph the shirt if you desire. Each shirt sale helps us raise the money we need to promote our team and build our craft. Hit us up and order one today!

Building Right Along

Moved the Phlyin Phanatic to a larger warehouse space this week which was next door so that we didnt have to saw our lovely craft in half to move it out once it was built. Slowly but surely we are building right along (well not that slow since we have about a month to complete this thing). We like the pressure.
