The Shadow Pants Party Thursday, May 3, 2007
Posted by Jerkwheat in Pants Party!.trackback
As most of our readers (ok, all of you) are Deadspin readers and commenters, you probably know about the Midwestern Pants Party taking place in Chicago on May 11th. What you didn’t realize was that if something tragic were to happen at the MPP then Deadspin, DeadOn, Ladies…, and various other sites would be left non-functional and anarchy would reign supreme on the interwebs. WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO PARTY IN THE PANTS?!?!?
To prevent this from happening, we must form a Shadow Pants Party – ready to assume full Pants Party duties on a moments’ notice. If you are in the DC area on May 11th, BowdenBowdenBowden and myself would like to invite you to the Shadow Pants Parts at RFK for the Nats and the Marlins! WOOO! SHADOW PANTS!! Additionally, it’s FREE BEER COOLER NIGHT at RFK.
So, since it’s Nats/Marlins and we aren’t meticulous planners like PeteJayhawk, we don’t have an assigned section or tickets or anything of any worth right now. The plan is to meet outside of RFK and buy a block of 5 dollar outfield seats together and get drunk together.
Are you joining us? Excellent. Let us know in the comments or send me an e-mail at deadonblog@gmail.com and we can coordinate the Shadow Pants-ing.
Oh my God; who will tell everyone each week that the motion picture industry is an ongoing concern?
One of us has to go to the bunker for the weekend. I choose the Secretary of Morning Rock.
If we’ve learned anything from ID4, it’s that we shouldn’t send the Vice-President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff to NORAD, because they’ll just get nuked.
There’s a Party in my Pants right now!

Yes, because going to Area 51 worked out so well for the President.
Well, let’s see, El Jefe will be in DC, and the Subcommandante will be in Chicago, and the Stabby One will be in the SoCal, I think we’ll be safe, no?
I am not a deadspin commenter. I tried once, but I guess I wasn’t deemed “funny.”
I went home, masturbated, and cried. Not really different from any other night, though.
RCR, at least your kleenex was pulling double duty.
Sweet Jesus RCR – you NEED to be a Deadspin commenter – especially once football season comes around again
you’re the only Rebel I like!!!
WAIT. Is that the real and true RCR?
oh yeah Holly – we learned he was a fan on the board during EDSBS.
RCR must be in. We must talk to the Ircane. Sadly, I’m out, I just used my sponsorship for the year.
I hate that I’m going to miss both pairs of Pants… my sister’s college graduation is next weekend. But, to show my solidarity to both Parties, I’ll refuse to wear any type of pants for the duration of the weekend. The family pictures should be terrifying.
Pantsless gordo? I’m in!
Oddly enough, I’m leaving DC on the 11th… to come back to Chicago for the Midwest Pants Party. I’d say that my instigation of shots or something could be a contributing factor to the death of the sites, but 1) I’ll have just spent the last two nights boozing on the firm and my friends aren’t going to let me skate on it, so I’ll probably be in less than prime shape, and 2) there’s no way this crowd needs any instigation anyways.
RCR, I think I got you covered. What’s your email address?
Or send an email here: commentguru@deadspin.com and identify yourself. : )
Hey, darlin’. Forgive me for doubting you. You sounded so…sober.
Dammit…I’ll be in Cabo for a wedding. Oh well – the tribulations of travel. Have fun!
And for those folks in the Colorado area, unable to attend the official and shadow pants parties, you’re invited to my roller derby bout in Denver on May 12 — screw those traditional sports gatherings! We can outdrink them all at the afterparty …

This marks the first time (and most likely the last time) that the phrase “meticulous planner” has ever been used to refer to me. Thank you kindly. I shall now print this post, frame it, and hang it between my Universal Life Church ministry credentials and my certificate denoting that I am the proud owner of a quality Seyko timepiece.
Also, can we rig up Cisco TelePresence to get a inter-Pants Party bridge or something? Someone get on that, stat.
Oh J-Money, is there anything you can’t do? [smitten sigh]
I wish I still knew where my Universal Life ministry credentials were…ah, drunken nights in college
Dude, so totally down with the idea of having the Cisco TelePresence at the game. That would rock, you know, until Jack Bauer traveled back from 2012 to ask us what we knew in a very painful way.
I love the Marlins……..wait – no i don’t – im in +1
I completely missed out on the Midwest Pants Party sign up. Crap. Although I’m not 21 and I hate the White Sox with a passion so maybe that’s not a bad thing.
Wow…thanks for the showing of support. Yostal, Holly, TXG, Jerkwheat, Lady A, et al., you people rule my face. I’ll be getting on this asap.
And while we’re in a like-minded thread–I’m giving my digits out to a select few D—spinners, and am expecting massive amounts of drunk-dialing from Chicago. Make me proud.
After listening to EDSBS today at work, I have realized Holly is #1 on my fake internet girlfriend list.
On John Adams: “I hate him in the face” and “I would have gone over the bar”
*makes phone motion with hand* Holly, call me.
You know I’ll be there like shareware.
Holly- how about drunk dialing from Boston? No? Not as fun as a gaggle of drunk DSers, I suppose.
Also, now that we’re going to have RCR on DS, is there any possible way we can get more audio of his drunk stylings? DUAN would get to a whole ‘nother level.
@steve: Hello, sailor.
@Texy: Have you ever SOBER dialed me? That’s the question. I’m honestly not sure. And I’m not sure I’d like it if you did.
A Deadspin weekly radio show would be a disaster. Make it happen.
Interesting question. Now that you mention it… no, no I haven’t. I’m just going to have to stay drunk all the time, I guess. Will that guarantee me at least the ranking of Marquess in your court? Duchess, maybe even? *crosses fingers*
RCR – Welcome to the fold my man! I think you’ll fit in nicely.
Where other men stop, is where you start, and that’s what makes you RCR.
I guess that makes me a jester? I’ll take it, if offered.
Drunkess?
(Drunkesst?)
Jeebsy, you’re my vizier. I think that’s sexy, right?
That sounds pretty important… can I do that if I’m drunk?
The Drunkess of Bourbon? Hey! I resemble that remark!
wait for it….
BOURBON WARRIOR!!!
of which the official headdress is obviously the Bourbon Turban
That sounds pretty important… can I do that if I’m drunk?
The last time you told me that it didn’t end well for either of us.
@DougOLis: Does that involve a fake construction helmet, 2 bottles of bourbon and appropriately placed straws?
Texy’s a classy dame, KB. No straws for her. She’s got those pour spouts that dispense perfectly measured double shots with the press of a lever.
On her hat. I meant on her hat. What?
Damnit, I’m at GW and am going home for a week after I’m done Spring Semester before I come back to DC to do summer classes, and I leave on the 10th. Fuck that.
There’s a party in my pants right now! One problem: I can’t find my pants!
I’ll be there! Go Nats!
I’ll be Secretary of Morning Wood, then.
I live near DC, but you’ve picked the weekend I have to go to the wedding of my wife’s best friend.
