Yo Gabba Gabba "Origins" Tuesday May 11 Cinefamily (LA)

Hello Friends!

Yo Gabba Gabba animation producer and theremin demonstrator Kevin Sukho Lee here. Just wanted to mention a few things about about our upcoming Tuesday May 11 Yo Gabba Gabba "Origins" program at Cinefamily. We're super excited about it because it's a chance for us (who make the show) to celebrate Yo Gabba Gabba! with you guys (our loyal fans) and let you peek behind the curtain and hear about how it all started and how this crazy kids show went from being just an idea to a real TV show seen around the world (and at the White House).

Lance Robertson (who plays DJ Lance Rock) will be there, as well as show creators Scott Schultz and Christian Jacobs to talk and to answer questions.

As a special treat, we will be including never-before-seen footage. Such as the original demo made in 2005 - this is even before the pilot. Not many have seen this and survived to tell the tale. This is your chance! We'll also be showing peeks into season 3 that no one has seen yet! No where else will you get a chance to see this.

And if that wasn't enough, we'll be giving away free prizes! Who says we don't love you guys!?

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some folks are asking if it's going to be kid-friendly and the short answer is: YES! The longer answer is that we are showing lots of awesome Gabba footage and some old kids show clips, but we will also have time for Lance, Scott, and Christian to talk about the show. It's actually kind of like this blog you're reading right now! So bring the kids but just know that there won't be any dancing or singing in person (just on the screen). This isn't a "kids' show" in that way. But it is still 100% safe and maybe even enlightening for kids to hear about how an idea you start with your friends can become a TV show that is seen around the world! We'll have a Q&A so think of some good questions!

Hope to see you there. Be sure to buy tickets in advance if you know you want to go. It could sell out!

To a child, there are no boundaries of culture, no barriers to acceptance of any external stimuli -- as long as it's cool. Explosions of color, light, music and funky characters are a universal constant, and never fail to, even in our adult lives, zap our inner kid cores into sweet submission. The hit kids' television show "Yo Gabba Gabba!", an awesome program for kids and adults alike, is a proud proponent of this philosophy -- and we're thrilled to present guest programmers Lance Robertson (the show's star, aka DJ Lance Rock), and animation producer Kevin Sukho Lee, as they unearth some choice childrens' cinematic seeds from the vaults of yesteryear. From personal favorites to prominent influences to the just plain rad, they'll orbit around this big blue marble of ours to bring you an eclectic assortment of far-out kinder-fare from around the globe.

JOIN US THIS MONTH!!

Coachella Round Up - Day Three!

Day Three of Coachella came sooner than we knew it and we were super excited to get out there and enjoy the fun! We met up in the VIP area for a minute before strolling around the grounds.


Foofa got to meet one of her new "trailer neighbors", B.O.B. who we hear is going to be the next rap superstar! Awesome! He fell under Foofa's spell. She's so sweet!


Then the whole gang (remembered that they forgot to post this picture from Saturday of when they) met Diplo and Major Lazer! They were almost as excited to meet us as we were to meet them! They invited us to join their show, but due to the busy schedule later in the day, it just didn't work out. Sorry guys! We still love you!


The polo field grounds that they hold Coachella on are really beautiful. They even have a dedicated flower garden area that is absolutely amazing! It was right by the dance tent. Hmmm... Flowers and dancing, who does that remind you of?


Foofa of course! She was in absolute heaven and spent no less than three and a half hours skipping and frolicking in the flowers because, well... she loves flowers!


Eventually, she finally wandered over to the Dance Tent to see a bit of Paparazzi's set. She met lots of new friends who were super friendly and danced with her! Awesome!


And someone even took a video of it!


Meanwhile, Brobee was doing his part by hopping on the Human Hamster Wheel (they made an exception for him, being a monster). He generated enough electricity to light a small light bulb for a two seconds! So cool! Way to think about the earth there, Brobee!


After that, everyone went to join our new B.F.F. (Best Friend Forever, yo!), King Khan on stage for his set! He played "Land of the Freak" and invited us all on stage with him! It was a such a great time!


And someone in the crowd even had a camera and took a video of it and posted that video on the internet!


Later in the set, DJ Lance came out to hype the crowd up a bit some more and had a little dance off King Khan himself! It was so cool! We'd post a video of it, but The King was a little scantily-clad by this point, so if you really want to see it, it's on the interwebs. This is a kids show, after all!

After that, we went over to watch De La Soul who totally brought it! They were great and were super nice to DJ Lance earlier. Friends of Yo Gabba? They are now!


We also caught a few of Charlotte Gainsbourg's songs. She was so lovely, Foofa was in awe. Totally slammin'!


Then we caught some of Spoon's set! They were great too!


One of our favorite bands, Pavement came on next with their highly anticipated reunion! It was awesome and they ended with "Cut Your Hair"! Thanks guys!!


We couldn't believe our eyes when Gorillaz hit the stage. Their set was amazing and everyone had a blast! Yo Gabba Gabba's been a big fan of theirs for a long time, and we were in awe of their amazing video show! Here is a shot of the screen when they played "Super Fast Jelly Fish" which makes us hungry for seafood breakfast cereal (sounds like something Toodee would like!)


So that was it! A total great weekend at Coachella! What a great time we had and so many awesome memories made. Not to mention all the new friends! It was crazy! Big thanks to Paul and Goldenvoice for inviting us! We hope to see you there next year!


Stay tuned for an upcoming video of all our Coachella adventures. This was just a preview! :D
