Okay, so that title is a little imflammatory... But seriously, Seattle, is there something wrong with your legs? We went to Elvis Costello at the Paramount last night, and my buddy and I managed to find a few confederates next to us who were willing to stand and dance.... Come on Seattle, this is Rock and Roll! The ushers came by and hassled us three times, and the girl standing next to me had people throwing things at her back. I'm sorry, but it physically hurts to sit down while Elvis is pounding through Blue Chair, Uncomplicate, Brilliant Mistake, Radio Radio, Blame It On Cain, (I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea, etc. At least Elvis finally managed to get people on their feet at the end of the show, so we slid right down to the front and were able to groove through the last eight numbers... All in all, a brilliant show.
Anyways, Seattle, don't take it personally, I still love you. The drinks at Cyclops are still the best, and the tofu at Wild Ginger is something I could eat for weeks and never tire of... But for god's sake, get your mojo back!
who runs this blog?

Hey, dont talk about my seattle like that! Ilove seattle, i do admit it is more of a mellow coffee place but its still pretty awsome. I went to an india Arie concert and i danced there will hundreds of people. Seallte is awsome, and don't say anything about seattles mojo because my cousin plays for the mariners. I get reminded of that enough!

Y'know, the Elvis show in Chicago was the same way. I was up in the nosebleed seats, so it seemed a LITTLE more apropos to stay seated, but really folks... it's a rock concert. Is Elvis's crowd just mellowing out???

Hello, people! This website is about the original Napoleon Dynamite, Elvis Costello, not the movie!

If this is only about Elvis Costello, why are there Vote for Pedro shirts on sale on the main page?
:D

Yeah whats with that!

Because, the company that runs those ads controls what is sown for sale depending on the site's contents using keywords on the site, and because it is called Napoleon Dynamite, the ad people automatically put up Napoleon the Movie merchandise.

Seattle IS funky like that. I live in Seattle, about a mile from the Paramount. I was at that show. I really really like Seattle but yeah it's totally about not looking like you care too much. It's a mix of the too cool and the too boring-leave-us-alone-up-here. It is also one of the most educated cities in the US- so maybe there is the intelligencia factor. If you do dance, you have to learn the nod dance. Some swaying or toe tapping is acceptable.
I'm glad you were dancing. Be the fly in the ointment. Seattle likes to have everything just so. So fuck you Seattle. You're gonna be uncomfortable and get used to it. I agree, Seattle needs an enema.
Thats it. Time for my enema.

If this is all about Napoleon Dynamite the movie, why is he talking about going to an Elvis Costello concert? Elvis gave himself the nickname Napoleon Dynamite back in the 80's, which is why the site's called Napoleondynamite.com. The guy who runs this site isn't going to make a sequel to the movie because he is not affiliated with the movie, you freakin' idiots. By the way, I like Napoleon the movie, but this site has nothing to do with it, thats my point.

I totally agree with you! Seatle does suck. And I should know. My dad lives there and I visit him three times a year. I live in Hawaii on the island of O'ahu. And that is the only place I can call home.

Seattle has some of the worst traffic in the US. That's because everyone wants to use their car and no one else's. Seattlites don't want to walk a block to a bus stop or subway station or a block from the station to work or even carpool.
It's no wonder they don't want to get up for rock and roll.
And for those Seattlites who are offended, relax. It's how you are and if you're too lame to admit your folleys then you are lame. If you don't like it, get off your ass at the next show, take the bus into town, walk the block to the market instead of driving.

P.S. My bro lives in Seattle and I like it very, very much but I speak the truth about its sedentary public.

.. I thought this would be some sort of an official site. Why the flip did you name your site napoleondynamite.com? To get more hits?
