CTFxC Does Washington DC On Halloween

Well, we got an explanation from Charles about why there was no CTFxC meetup like they had hoped at the Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert Rally Charles, Alli & Melissa were attending in Washington DC - there was a massive Internet blackout. No cell phones, no texting, no Internet - BIG fail on the part of the InterWebs, so although Charles Trippy had planned on telling everyone where he and the girls were, they couldn't, but it still looks like it was an awesome time.



Loved all the signs and costumes they spotted in the crowd. And one dude found them and gave his YouTube channel - arandomkindofthing (go give Shane a shout out from CTFxC!). Of course there was also that total DB who interrupted them to make a snide comment about liberals and their skin. Alli TOTALLY called it right with that guy. And did you see the guy wearing the Rorschach mask? I half expected him to say "Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon." lol.

Still the shots after dark were pretty cool too, with the Lincoln Memorial all lit up and Charles got a good quote from Lincoln: "Hey Charles! CTFxC FTW!" But they did meet up with a couple of youtubers, jeremyi and kxkevin12 - so give them a shout on their channels too. It was also interesting to see the spot where Martin Luther King Jr delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech. That's one thing about DC - massive history all over the place.

What do you think about their latest outro for their channel? I think it sounded awesome. It was done by Terabrite, so there's a link if you want to check out their channel.

CTFxC: Alli & Melissa Descend On Washington For Stewart-Colbert Rally

Looks like Charles Trippy will be heading over to Cape Canaveral later for the latest space launch, but first, Alli and Charles' sister Melissa go to Washington DC during the big Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert Rally on October 30th. There was some talk of a mini-CTFxC gathering, but it looks like it was lost in the hoopla of the Stewart-Colbert party.



Have to agree with uber-gay Michael with his assessment of Melissa being gorgous - she's always smiling too which is another of her attractive features. Hey, if you aren't subscribed to Melissa yet, her Youtube channel is mel and she now has over 53K subs!

As far as Alli and Melissa's DC trip, it is always interesting to see all those monuments and buildings. I've never been there (yet), but I have always wanted to see Washington, the White House, Congress and the Smithsonion. Don't know why, but the Lincoln Memorial has always intrigued me - with a humongous Abraham Lincoln sitting in a chair staring down at you. Have to get some pictures of that some day.

It looks like Charles wants to put together a mini-Youtube gathering when they are in Washington which is cool. The reason why Alli and Melissa were in Washington was for the Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert Rally To Restore Sanity And/Or Fear on Saturday afternoon on the National Mall in DC. Have to lol at Colbert for dressing up like Evil Kenevil.

 

Check out these great pictures from the Stewart-Colbert Rally.

If you are not subbed to Charles' iPhone channel on Youtube you probably missed these two videos. First, Charles visits the Washington Monument:



Second, Melissa slids down the stairs at the Lincoln Monument:



Here's where you can sub to Charles' iPhone Channel. Charles & Alli post short little clips on this side channel all the time, so if you are a dedicated CTFxCer, you're missing out if you aren't subbed here too.

Melissa Trippy Attacked By A Massive Spider!

First off, I HATE spiders. I'm a dude so it usually falls to me to dispose of any spiders or other insects that breach my security wall and put in an appearance in my bathroom or kitchen. Usually they scamper across the floor waving "Hello Roomie!" as they adjust to their new digs. I of course will have none of that and immediately scour the room for a weapon while keeping a eye on my little visitor. Then I'm all "HULK SMASH!" and toss the remnants into the toilet or garbage.

But one day...

I was walking through my house and spotted some movement out of the corner of my eye - a spider! Not just ho-hum, a spider, but "Holy Snikes, Look At That Huge Spider!" This thing looked like it was a zergling from StarCraft2, so I quickly grabbed a fly swatter and gave it 3-4 hard wacks thinking buh-bye. I swear it gave me the finger and ran down a nearby heating duct. I think I heard it chuckling in the darkness, but that might have been my own paranoia kicking in.

Needless to say, I spend that night in bed with the blankets pulled up to my nose, peering nervously at the darkness, waiting for it to make it's move and jump at me. Luckily for both of us, the spider never came back. It was I swear 3 inches long! Wish I had my camera when I spotted it.

Anyway, enough about me and my arachnid battles. In Melissa's video we first see that her dog Tyson seems none the worse for wear after his run-in with two other dogs about a month ago. If you didn't know about him being attacked, there's a video where Mel's brother Charles Trippy explains what happened. Poor old Tyson got stuck wearing the unfashionable cone for a month as he healed up. From the video it looks like he's doing good again.

Melissa and her roommate have a run-in with a spider themselves and it looks like they took care of business and clobbered the intruder. Florida seems to have some mother-sized spiders! Also, you can sub to her channel at mel.

CTFxC: Alli Rockin' The Betty Page Look

Here it is, Charles Trippy & Alli Speed's last day in Las Vegas after celebrating Alli's 21st birthday (video below) and she is going to a Betty Page dress from (it looks like) the Bettie Page Boutique at 3663 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV. Their website is bettiepageclothing.com. Must admit Alli looked pretty good in the girlie-girl dresses and Charles' sister Melissa Trippy also look nice in the brief shot of her in the 50s retro style. For some reason, maybe someone will clue me in, they were hanging with actor Wolfgang J. Weber, who I'm guessing is a friend of theirs. Ottawa-born Weber actually has several movies under his belt and according to his IMDB page: Wolfgang J. Weber, he'll be playing Jesus Christ in an upcoming movie.

After spending a few days over in Vegas, celebrating Alli's birthday, she finally can gamble in Vegas all legal-like she said, but forgot her ID at one point. She did end up winning some money at the casino and used that fundage to pick up the Betty Page dress. They walked out into the mall area and the ceiling is covered with a picture of a cloudy sky and they had some faux thunder and lightning which was cool. I seem to remember seeing a Shaytards video in that same mall from earlier this year.

Charles also mentioned the movie Oceans Eleven and Wolfgang confirmed the place in front of the fountain where they filmed the ending where after the heist George Clooney, Brad Pitt and the boys went their separate ways.

Charles and Weber talk about keychains and never finding one that says their names (again I just saw a Shaytards video where Shay also mentioned the same thing. I did find a Wolfgang keychain a Zazzle.com and there's probably some with Charles and Shay's names too if you look.

Alli Speed's Birthday In Las Vegas With The Usual Band Of Youtube Misfits

Here's the video from a couple of days before, where Charles and Alli celebrated her birthday at the House Of Blues Casino in Las Vegas and all the usual suspects put in an appearance: Shay Carl & Katilette, PhillyD & LinzLoves, DaveDays, LasVegasBarbie etc. Actually they celebrated DaveDays', Sammah's and Linz' birthdays as well.



Here's the party from Shay's perspective. Had to show this clip as well because Charles and Shay mixed up their cameras (they have the same make and model - I think it's a Olympus Stylus 550 but I could be wrong). I saw Shay video first when they both got posted.

CTFxC Orlando Gathering & Harry Potter Land

This looks like it was a fun time. There was a YouTube gathering in Orlando Florida on July 24th, and of course, Charles Trippy and Alli Speed had to pop in. The CTFxC squad of misfits were met by a throng of fans and Charles & Alli spoke before the crowd which was surprisingly large. The dudes from ST1RFRYTV (Scooter & River) were also on hand. Scooter was the guy with the funky, psycedelic flowery pants. And Charles' lovely sister Melissa and Alli's brother Justin rounded out the group.

There were some others throughout the video, including jennielovely who besides being very pretty which you can see in the above video, is actually a good guitarist and singer. I found THAT out by going to her channel and subscribing. She has a mere 1,088 subs at this point, so make sure to show some support for this talented youtuber! And check out some of her videos.

Next Charles and Alli and the group went to Harry Potter Land (actually called The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter) and they spend the remainder of the day immersed in the World of Harry Potter. Lol, Alli showed a bit of a fondness for the butter beer and as usual she was in heaven in the candy shop. And Charles blasphemed saying "It's only a matter of time before there's a Twilight Park" which brought a collective groan from the group.

One great scene was when Rory the security guy danced with everyone towards the end of the video. Awesome lol. If you see Rory when visiting the Universal Studios Park, make sure you start dancing with him.

And here's one of Jennielovely's videos just because I like the song and because she was a great tour guide through Universal:
