I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The venue (WaMu Theater) was like an airplane hangar filled to the brim with metal folding chairs; getting into the place was akin to a TSA screening at an airport, except with the added stress of enduring a heavy downpour while you removed all your metal objects into plastic buckets filling with rainwater, and ultimately feeling like they were covered in syphilis once you got them back. The place was hot, crowded, and it was completely impractical to get up once you found your seat. Such a shame -- had been looking forward to this night for several years now.

Is it the one that ends with an extended bit about a gorilla?

It was playing on the background at a get-together and I sort of half-watched it but I really liked that bit
