This is your final reminder that the Videogum Pizza Party is TONIGHT! (Duh.) If you like pizza, or you like being in a room full of strangers, or if you like pizza IN a room full of strangers, then this is the event for you! It is going to get started at 7PM at Heathers Bar, at 506 E. 13th Street in New York. This event is 21-and-over, sorry. Maybe if you are a tiny little child with undeveloped hands and feet, you can hang out at the Starbucks around the corner (I am basically just assuming there is a Starbucks around the corner, but that seems like a safe assumption). You can kill your nerves with some courage juice (courage juice for you babies = venti decaf soy latte). But the rest of you, those with a closed sagittal suture, come hang out!
Also, this is a final call for submissions to be the Videogum intern next semester. Please send your resume and a writing sample to intern@videogum.com. We are going to read over applications in the next week or so and figure it all out. It’s like Alec Baldwin said in The Edge, “ABFIAO. Always Be Figuring It All Out.”
Finally, I know that some of you monsters cannot make it to the pizza party tonight due to prior obligations, insufficient years on Earth, or geographic limitations. Of course, I am sorry that you cannot make it, but in return, might I offer you this incredible music video by your favorite new rapper, RAED?
What a good rap! He is very good at the rap game! Incidentally, the end of that video is exactly what the Pizza Party is going to be like! “Welcome to Club Awkward.” OK, GOT 2 PUT ON MY PARTY FACE. If I am murdered tonight, this has been a lot of fun. And heaven is great! (Video via BuzzFeed.)

I used to love Raed, but then he punched that Snooki girl in the face and started wearing weird bathrobe sweaters and just really changed directions as an artist. Have fun at the pizza party fellow monsters!
I just want to say that today is my birthday (I’m turning a sprightly 62!) and though I wanted nothing more than to make it to the videogum video pizza party to celebrate and try and seduce Gabe with some Werther’s Orginals that I always have on me, wrapped up in a dusty tissue, stuffed up my cardigan sleeve (and whiskey shots)… I’m afraid that once again, I’ll miss my chance.
I asked my parents (who are well into their 90s) if they could send me to NYC for my birthday and explained how, “All of my internet-friends’ parents were letting them go!” They quickly reminded me that, “We’re not your internet-friends’ parents, are we?! …we don’t know what the internet is, but we’re not going to give you permission to do whatever you want like your LOOSE internet-friends!…And you know pizza is the Devil’s food!”
UGH! PARENTS! Anyway, I could think of no better way to spend my Bday, but with you guys (seriously, that would be THE BEST!) because you guys are great (obvs) and you’re the kind of people I wish my IRL friends were like (read: smarter and funnier) …but instead…. I asked for a bed frame…and that is a sign of getting old, if there ever was one!
I am still amazed at what Gabe and the ‘gum have created here, ’cause seriously, what other blog invites their commenters out for pizza, booze, and good times?!? I just hope that maybe next year, we Chicago-area monsters will get our sh*t together and maybe throw our own satellite video pizza party! Anyone down for that (pending any 20-inch-dropping blizzards)??
And Hells Yeah, we need to do a Chicago Meetup. Someone in the NYC Gummalo Chapter needs to take notes, we’re cribbing off it for our event. That or Little Blaster is gonna help us plan this Sh*t out
I didn’t think anything would cheer me up from missing the pizza party…until I read your post! You win cheering me up!
Lots of love, my friend. I hope your birthday was wonderful.
You had me at “today is my birthday.” MIne too! Therefore upvote.
DECEMBA Fi5tEeN INNA HOWS!!
I mean this in all sincerity: Have fun at dinner, you guys.
Wish I could be there. Last-minute conflicts and all. Save me a virtual slice, will ya?
If someone gets punched in the face, please videotape it for us baby monsters, or foreign* monsters
*Foreign= Outside of New York.
I thought that foreign means black. Thats what everyone here in Alaska keeps telling me.
“This event is 21-and-over, sorry.”
Fine Gabe, I’m gonna make my own Videogum Pizza Party! With blackjack…and hookers… In fact, forget the Videogum Pizza Party.
I approve of this comment.
That sounds much better than what I’m doing. Eating gluten-free frozen pizza and watching [and by that I mean live-blogging] old episodes of South Park.
nerd alert over here is making a nametag. My expectations are way too high, setting myself up for so much rejection! See you monsters laters!
Will you be dressing up as Tobias, or Liz Lemon?
hey you guys tonight at the party I may go into a nervous serizure and die, or get blackout drunk and die, but dont worry because I will have died doing what I love, eating pizza. And anyway if I do die, feel free to make use of the white Hummer limo i’ve rented for the occasion, because I wont be needing it since ill be dead.
a serizure!? See how nervous i already am I cant even tpye rigth!

Stupid Lawnmower Man, you said the comment didn’t post! Or perhaps this was due to my undeveloped hands.
I will be down south, thinking about all the monsters getting dolled up to go on their group date tonight.
i was about to talk my self out of going to club awkward tonight but now i realize that it is my sacred duty to attend for those who cannot make it. and i promise not to talk like that.
I’m a 12 year old girl, and I live in Chicago. This is the worst.
12?? I refuse to allow anyone younger than me on this site. BEGONE, YE WHIPPERSNAPPER!*
*totes joking. Welcome to the site.
WHAAAAAAAAT.
Take some pics, you guys! Or video’s! Us homestayers want to see proof!
Awesome. See you guys in an hour or so. Weird.
I’ll be at the exclusive Videogum Pizza Party (for 1).
It’s at my house, and while there will be pizza, there also will be studying. Finals = blurg
Have fun guys

I’ve been searching Craigslist for the last couple of weeks trying to find a Joey Lawrence impersonator. I’m sad to say that in this era, that service does not exist in NYC. I wanted to pay him to show up, but talk to no one. I’m now giving up on that dream.
Something tells me the real Joey Lawrence would be cheaper.
Stupid Internet keeps telling me I’ve already voted on this item. Or Upvotes ))<>((
That was a wonderful dream!
I second and third everyone else who request vids and pics, just cause I want to see what y’all look like outside of your caves! Probably really pale and with underdeveloped eyesight and light sensitivity…so go easy on the camera flashes!
Since I won’t be there, I’ll just this post this pic of me from last year.
Off subject, but that movie so creeped me out! Why were you so mean to those spelunkers?
It was their delicious flesh, wasn’t it?
The adulteress was delicious. He could taste the sinning.
wait! i second that. i thought the descent was going to be the worst, and it ended up really freaking me out. a little over the top at some points with the thumbs in the eyes and stuff, but leading up to, and the start of, the monster attack was DOPE!
oh man, i went and saw the descent in the theater the day i got back from camping in the chatooga national forest, which is, incidentally, exactly where they filmed the movie. it USED to be my favorite camping spot in north georgia. USED to be. not to imply that i’m a baby that gets freaked out by the mere idea of bat people living beneath the ground where i pitch my tent, but i’m a baby that gets freaked out by the mere idea of bat people living beneath the ground where i pitch my tent.
So how long before your name gets reversed on you again, Mangum?
Kiss the Pan looks like a Hairless Lycan in real life
“I’ll just this post this”… awesome.
B4 i knew about the 21 and over i asked my mom…” Will u take me into the city to a party with some middle aged men that i met on the internet?” She said no!!!! ugh moms…
Why would you ask your mom? You need to sneak out, duh.
I was all like Mom, there’s this study group in NYC and I need to take the train in okay? and she was like What? and I was like UGH I NEED TO STUDY FOR A MATH TEST and she was like Carolyn, you don’t go to school and I was like *facepalm*
I was in NYC for a week and had to return to ann arbor this morning, otherwise I would totally be there (I’m sure EVERYone will be very super disappointed by my absence, due to the fact that I have such a popular, well-known presence in the Monster community and am always making highly witty, hilarious comments daily). Seriously though, have fun, everyone else!
If there are any Chicago monsters out there, I’ll be hangin’ around the bean until about two in the morning with a bottle of whisky and a box of pizza. The pizza will probably turn into ice, but that’s ok. Party on!
If you’re hanging around the bean for that long, you’re probably not a true Chicago monster.
See you guys in a bit (when I hurry by with my head down, glance in the window longingly, then sprint away)!
Looks like another long night of playing castle defender for me.
Have fun 2nite! I’ll be sulking over some gross slices of “Colorado-style pizza”. Yeah, it’s a real thing.
When I lived in the UK, I would always buy “Texas style” pizza because it was the cheapest. Sadly even in Houston, TX you can only get “NY” and “Chicago” styles. Texas style pizza is a state of mind! Unlike Colorado style, which is an abomination.
Texas is the only state Ballsy enough to have it’s own Toast.

If it’s anything like Rocky Mountain oysters, then I do not want to know what it is.
Ummmmmmmmm……how did you do that Google search trick? Awesome.
I’m coming into NYC for a wedding in a few weeks… I really think I made the wrong call on that one.
Please take photos for a “caption this!” segment or just pictures for us to live vicariously through you guys going out tonight. If you don’t then, “you’d be surprised at how much this never happened.” Or if no one shows up and it’s only you at a table crying over pizza, then don’t forget I said “THIS IS A VERY BAD IDEA” BECAUSE I CAN’T BE THERE, Mr. Delahaye!
I’m pretty sure RAED said it’s “erection time.”
Meanwhile, I’ll be enjoying the Portland, Oregon Satellite of the Pizza Party at my local Burgerville. If you want to join me, don’t because I have an abrasive personality.
LOS ANGELES!! Where is the Pizza (Cocaine) Festival at?
I’d suggest having a Pizza Party here in Los Angeles, but we all know that would suck. Los Angeles is awful.
LA is not the worst! Where else can you have a pizza party at the Medical Marijuana Distribution Center? (Probably somewhere else too, I don’t know. What do I look like? A fact checker to you?) You could bring the Pizza, I could bring the prescriptions claiming you have glaucoma.
(Sometimes LA is the worst.)
we already suggested it, and then we bailed. (like we do in LA.) it would suck because we couldn’t get Two Boots… oh wait: http://twoboots.com/TW2008/La08/la.html
(LA is not the worst. stop it.)
Oh I know it’s not! I tried to live in the Midwest for a while but I was too afraid to drive in whatever that cold white stuff was that fell from the sky (true story). Let’s not have a pizza party, say we did, and prove it by aggressive name-dropping because that’s how we do it here! …I’m not doing a good job of proving that I like LA, am I?
Hey, I didn’t say LA is the worst, I just said it’s awful. And marijuana sounds better than pizza. I have yet to eat a slice of pizza in California that doesn’t make me miss the Chicago pizza scene immensely.
I’m done now, I regret turning this into another [insert city]-bashing thread. Sorry, everyone.
that just makes me double want to have a pizza party to show you LA has love too. it’s just semi-abusive love.
Yarr, we are TOTES doing an LA pizza party! And soon! And in true LA style, most people will flake, as LA is the only city where “Sorry, I flaked” is considered an acceptable excuse for pulling a no-show. BUT I WILL BE THERE.*
*unless dude, i flake.
So is anyone actually going? Everyone here seems to not be. I’m imagining Gabe, Scott, and Amrit just sitting around by themselves in party hats and blow outs and cold pizza.
I’m imagining that too, except with all of the monsters just standing there like
wondering if it’s really Gabe and why they were the only monster there.
Should attendees have changed their avatars to their faces so they could be recognized? Oh, you’re right. They should wear their avatars to the party.
I will be sending Kiefer Sutherland with a Colt .45 and Kung-Fu Grip in my stead.
Awww, the Disco & Dragons episode! I thin I’ll just watch Freaks and Geeks tonight and have my own solo Pizza Pity Party.
My regards to all of you monsters, and Gabe especially. Sadly I cannot make it tonight. Reference something hilarious from the Internet for me one time, party people.
Ignoring the “sad ’cause it’s true” part, this comment makes me happy! Because I am not the only monster in Alaska!
This was supposed to be in reply to Aarfy’d up there. Of course I would mess up my first comment ever, that is why I don’t deserve a pizza party!
Hey! I’m from Alaska too…
When I lived there, there was no one funny or smart, where were you guys?
I think i speak for everyone here when i say “We <3 reply errors”. Welcome to Videogum.
Holy Jeff Dunham! I just had half my comment cut off. This is ironic because it was how we all love reply errors. Life is good!
I am 18 so I regret to inform that I will be tardy to the party. By 3 years.
Same, only I am also in the middle of Finals Week.
I hit the trifecta: My 21st birthday is in March, I live in Maryland, and I already made plans to listen to “River Guard” by Smog on repeat alone in my bedroom tonight. I’ll think of you guys, though, crying to myself about how I’m constantly on trial.
One of those bored-looking women should have told RAED that rapping ≠ off-key singing.
I am sad that I will not make it to the party. I hope that two lonely monsters find love tonight.
maybe im just projecting, but isnt lonely monsters redundant?
Yes, you are purely projecting. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to put down my cross-stitching so I can split a can of tuna with my cats.
pls upload porn vids.
Is it just me or is this actually a very nifty song. If you’re not really good at dancing this is very good to dance to. In fact this is excellent. Have fun lovely foreigners x
Long time lurker, first time poster – wish I could have made it tonight, but my scarf got caught in the door.
Same here! About being a freshly ex-lurker, not about my scarf in a door. Although it probably IS in one, damn scarves. The jealousy festering in my breast made commenting feel crucial. I have been waiting all 63 years of my life to awkwardly eat pizza with monsters.
Wow it is weird to think that this is a thing that is happening right now.
Why is this not simulcast somehow? I bet you guys are having SO MUCH FUN at dinner.
We need some twitterers to live tweet the Meet Up
Solo toast party in Nor Cal!
Getcho toast. Hella.
I’m having a monster party of one. With homemade pizza. Hope the rest of you monsters have as much fun as me!
Gabe meets The Monsters:
This is at the point were Gabe declares that every needs to pay for their own booze.
I was really looking forward to sleeping tonight, and then I saw that GIF.
“You have already voted on this item.”
So many serious LOLs. I wish I could stop laughing at this.
This is from The Brood, right? It’s been a few years since I’ve watched it last, but those children are forever carved into my psyche. Regardless, that is so appropriate right now.
I totally would have gone to this thing if I wasn’t a literal child! Oops, just pooped my pants. Mama.
According to Google Maps, the pizza party is taking place 776 miles away from me and will take me 12 hours and 6 minutes to arrive. Will you wait up for me?
I will be having a pizza/studying/paper-writing party for one here in Killadelphia. Have fun, monsters!
Yes, you are purely projecting. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to put down my cross-stitching so I can split a can of tuna with my cats.
ARRGH! Why does this stupid comment board hate me. I hate you back, technology!! I guess I’ll repost this above. Haaaate.
Okay, so, due to geographical challenges, I couldn’t make it out tonight (though I wonder how many people were so shy they wouldn’t attend), but next year? If you all happen to be here in Central America? Rice and beans!! Together! All day, every day!
…uh, please?
I wish I wish I wish -r Kelly
I predict plenty of monsters will attend, but will pose as non-monsters. They will drink and say, “Hey! Pizza! What’s this all about?” Then someone will drunkenly mumble “..monsters..” and then there will be a glorious hog-pile.
Have fun storming the party, monsters!
if i had magically discovered how to teleport, i would’ve totes been there last night. but alas i was at the vet with my dog, watching his butt get shaved and pumped full of steroids so he would PLEASE. STOP. CHEWING. ON. IT. PUPPY. YOUR. BUTT. LOOKS. LIKE. GROUND. BEEF. it was a lot of fun. and cost almost as much as a plane ticket to new york! YAY!
so? how did it go??
No kidding! I’ve been waiting all day for the dirty details, but they’ve all been suspiciously silent. Based on that silence, here’s my guess: there was a brawl, 4 people got pregnant and Gabe threw up.
Since I am 18 and on the west coast, I’ll be sitting this one out
But, I will heat up some pizza rolls and put some apple juice in a glass mug so I feel like I’m still a part of it!
Also, I just realized this all happened last night…
I want deets!
Do you not realize you are garnering zero sales by posting here? Outties. Get.
How will i do my christmas shopping now?
