Our pal Hound provides us with this astonishing information regarding brewing plans to object to the release of Eugene Mirman‘s new DVD, “En Garde, Society!”
Followed By A Party For Eugene Mirman’s New Album En Garde, Society!
Funny guy Eugene Mirman has a new full-length comedy album, En Garde, Society!, coming out May 9 on Sub Pop records. The 2 disc CD+DVD set features a CD of live standup, plus some in-studio recordings, a DVD with eight films including Michael Showalter’s parody/tribute to Eugene, and liner notes by John Hodgman.
To protest his continuing success, The Onion is organizing a rally against Eugene on Monday, May 8. Meet at the southern end of Union Square. At 7 p.m., we will march east on 14th St. two blocks to the nearest bar. Protest signs will be provided.
Once we arrive at the nearest bar, the protest will quickly dissolve into a celebration for Eugene’s new album, En Garde, Society!, at which point we’ll drink and make merry. Can you keep a secret? We didn’t think so, but we’ll let you in on it just the same. Stephin Merritt (Magnetic Fields) will guest DJ later in the evening.

Because we are great supporters of free speech and believe in democracy (and stealing the ideas of others), we would like your help in staging similar protests in the following cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, and Seattle. Please get in touch with our mobilization specialists if you are interested in helping to organize an anti-Eugene protest at an as-yet-to-be-revealed location in any of those cities at andrews@subpop.com. And, because we are also great believers in the notion that likely none of you will do this for free, protesters will be rewarded with a copy of our new DVD comp, Acquired Taste, and some other free crap!
If you live in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, or Seattle, and would be interested in protesting Eugene Mirman and his various shenanigans, please contact andrews@subpop.com NOW!
