Speedy Willie

Paint / Soundtrack Update

Exciting voice mail received from Anthony this afternoon.  After some covert reconnaissance on his part, and under the dark cover of night, it was discovered the coat of orange has been applied to Speedy Willie. Anthony compared seeing it for the first time to a religious experience.  Apparently when the glow of his flash light hit the paint, he passed out.  Beautiful. 

The next step is the navy blue trim, which was not done as of this morning.  Lettering and graphics are due to be started within the next 7 to 10 days.  We're all excited to see what Dave can do.  We're aiming for class and intimidation.  Like Pierce Brosnan... I like that, "The Pierce Brosnan of tailgating buses."

You'll see the format of speedywillie.org has changed a little.  I've added what will surely soon be a densely populated area: "Speedy Willie Sponsors." 

Also, I've updated the soundtrack.  I don't know how I missed Galvanized (added twice for good measure), and what may be the title track for the 2008 season, I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry.  All new additions are highlighted in orange.

Assuming the average run time for each song is 4 minutes, we're looking at 2 hours and 12 minutes.  That is not going to be long enough.  I'm afraid my ipod can't fill out the dance party portion of the play list, so lets get some suggestions rolling in. 

Finally, and for posterity's sake, here's a couple of photoshops from the original design.  Since the trim cannot be removed, these will not be accurate to the final product, and therefore useless.

Next update when complete paint is finished.

Playlist - First Draft

Here's the first draft of the playlist to be used for pre-game.  I guess we'll also need to come up with a post-game list as well.  Two perhaps, one for a win, one for a loss. 

Pregame:

-Ridin' Dirty / Chamillionaire (pulling into the lot.)
-Superbowl Shuffle (during set-up)
-Say Hello 2 Heaven / Temple of the Dog
-I Predict a Riot / Kaiser Chiefs
-Don't You Evah / Spoon
-Champion / Kanye West
-Stronger / Kanye West
-Good Life / Kanye West
-Can't Tell Me Nothing / Kanye West
-Buy U a Drank / T-Pain
-Fergalicious / Fergie
-Hips Don't Lie / Shakira
-My Humps / Black Eyed Peas
-Smack That / Akon
--SexyBack / JT
-Hella Good / No Doubt
-Crank That / Soulja Boy
-Bear Down Chicago Bears (packing up)

Depending on how long that winds up being, I'm sure there will be some room for other songs.  Any suggestions to continue to dance party on the last 1/4 of the play list? 

And again, this is a work in progress.  September 21st is 67 days away.
