I met Pedro and Kip Dynamite!

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

AKA Efren Ramirez and Aaron Ruell. They were at a special screening of Napoleon Dynamite put on by St. Mary's College in Moraga at the Rheem Theater. Two huge sold out shows with a Q&A afterwards. I got in line to ask a good question but all these little 13-year-olds were in front of me and asked dumb stuff like "Uh, Kip (note: they used the character's name, not the actor's - very bad form), can you say 'yessss' like when you bowled a strike?". Little twerps. They called off the Q&A before I could get to the mic. However, the night wasn't a total waste: I got respect knuckles off of Aaron as I was leaving the theater, and my brother got his autograph.

I'll post up photos from the Q&A when my brother gets them off his camera.

Despite the fact that I don't like the movie all that much, that's pretty kewl.

It didn't get its start on SNL or is in any way related to it, but he is supposed to be a loser. IMDb's site for them: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374900/
