This is my new favorite video on YouTube.

February 18, 2008 by Rene Gube

Please give it a viewing. It is so funny, my fingers tremble with glee as I type this. Comedy is tragedy, and these young men demonstrate this notion on so many levels.

It’s the kind of viral video that keeps on giving. Please soundoff w/ some of your favorite observations:

Off the dome, here are a few of mine:
1. Why does this dude only deal with giant photography?
2. I can’t wait to see what the other two guys’ aparments look like. I’m sure their couches are evocative of the same anguish over love lost.
3. What kind of liquor induces hallucinations of Hmong crooners? Because I am down.

PS.
While you’re on the Tube.. please take a moment to subscribe to the new and improved Touchblue YouTube channel. We’ve been in kitchen, cookin up some heat… you’ll get some soon.

Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice…America’s stupid.

After 7 long Bushie years, we know two things for sure: retarded cowboys shouldn’t be president (especially not twice), and we want someone different.

Finally, the time has come.

San Diego, retire thy torches. The search for five star carne asada is over.

January 14, 2008 by Rene Gube

Carne Asada.  San Diego, Stand Up.

Let’s face it. The Information Age–with all of its mystical wisdom and inexplicable, electric sound boxes–has pretty much been a bust. The Internet… yawn. Granted, it has and continues to revolutionize every human interaction we have ever known; at the end of the day, I am still left to kick around the same age old question:

Where’s the beef?

Specifically, where is the carne? Engulfed in flames asada style. Where is that carne that I love so much? Well, Ladies and Gents of the World Wide Web… the answer is here. I give you, MyBertos.com.

MyBertos.com

Growing up in the burbs of Rancho Penasquitos, I remember having to literally pick up a rock and blindly throw it in order to locate a Mexican taco shop. Never again, San Diego. Leave those burrito locators where they lie. The advent of MyBertos.com means that Taco Shop pinpointing has gone digital… with the accuracy of a Hawk-Tiger. Don’t you fucking ask.

Simply enter your zip code and every taco shop, within a radius of your discretion, is laid out like your very own virtual buffet. Google Maps integration means that phone numbers and directions are very to easy get to. Clickable even. Carne Asada enthusiasts can even rate and comment their favorite shops. Right now the website only serves the San Diego area, but I am told that Los Angeles is next.

I cannot wait. My blind rock throwing technique has yet to locate a proper plate of Carne Asada Fries in this town; unfortunately, I have nailed many a Mexican in the back of the dome. I am sorry, Mexicans.

Touchblue & the Sweet Science

December 24, 2007 by Rene Gube

Last Friday at the Knockout Comedy Show, Touchblue had the blessing of sharing the stage with some big hitters in the game: Joey Guila, Edwin San Juan, and the infamous Jo Koy. These guys are assassins on the mic, and had us rolling from the get. Big ups to Alex Retodo for putting together one hell of a show at an incredible venue. Class, class, class. Looking forward to doing it again. Here are some photos:

The Lineup: Joey Guila, Rene Gube, Jo Koy, Jaymar Cabebe, Francis Lansang, Abe Cajudo, Edwin San Juan, and the man signing all the checks… Alex Retodo.
