It’s D Day #1, Folks. Tenacious D Will Rule Toronto’s Echo Beach Tonight!

Posted in Ramble On......, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , on July 5, 2012 by pickourdestiny

Yes, it’s finally July 5th.  And that means that we will be rocking so hard we might leave in wheelchairs.  We hope you’ll join us tonight!  If you’re there and you see us come over and give us a high five or give us the horns from a distance – either would be awesome!  Hope you’ve been brushing up on your D lyrics because it is expected that you sing along to every single song.  Oh and also we hope you don’t like your face too much because it’s about to melted the fuck off.

Here’s a taste from the last time we were graced with the presence of the Two Kings in Toronto:

While they don’t actually play/sing this song it gives you a good idea of the theatrics involved in a Tenacious D show.  Plus you get to see the awesome double-necked guitar (which we’ve dubbed the Pussy Eater).

Tenacious D “Fuck Her Gently” Live at Ricoh Colliseum in Toronto, On

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , on June 29, 2012 by pickourdestiny

I filmed this November 27, 2006*** I’m a little embarrassed that at points you can hear me singing and screaming but who could help singing at screaming at a Tenacious D concert? It was one of the greatest moments of my life. Can’t believe it’s about to happen again in a week!!! Let’s hope we can get some new killer videos from the upcoming shows!!!
ROCK!

***I apologize for the all around terrible quality of video. But I will back that up by saying it was recorded on a digital camera almost 6 years ago. And at that point in time, video quality on digital cameras sucked and YouTube wouldn’t allow high resolution videos to be uploaded which made the quality even worse.

Pick Our Destiny Postcards: Coming To A Venue Floor Near You! (As Long As You Live near Toronto or Detroit)

Posted in Ramble On......, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , on June 19, 2012 by pickourdestiny

What do we do on a Monday night?  Work late, make popcorn for dinner, take out the trash, and write on postcards!  Yeah, we’re kick-ass!  So we have these postcards to promote this site and our facebook group and our youtube and our band that sort-of exists and we just haven’t really gotten rid of them.  Our friends aren’t all that interested in them and we randomly give a few out at bars or leave them on telephone poles in our neighbourhood but we still have a ton of them.  So we’re giving them out at the upcoming Tenacious D shows.  That’s right, if you’re attending either the July 5th Toronto show at Echo Beach or the July 6th Detroit show at the Fillmore, you will probably be forced to take one of these lovely postcards.  And what will you do with this postcard?  Well you might frame it or put it up on your fridge or sleep with it under your pillow.  Or you might throw it in the dumpster or burn it with fire.  Either way we hope that you’ll flip it over and read what we’ve written on the back.  We’ve personalized each postcard with a handwritten note, tip, random reference, or drawing.  And since that’s how we spent the last 2 hours of our Monday night we hope that you’ll appreciate it.  If you find one of these we hope you’ll join the facebook group or visit this here blog and let us know what you think.

P.S.

Due to the unexpected turn of events (the D coming to US instead of us having to go to them), Pick Our Destiny is going through changes.  Like the kind of changes you had when you were thirteen.  It’s awkward and we’d prefer you don’t talk about it.  But we promise nothing but good will come of it (like boobs.  remember how great it was when awkward turned into boobs?).  Stay tuned for sexiness.

Merch? Anyone got merch?

Posted in Uncategorized on June 6, 2012 by pickourdestiny

Quick question for anyone who’s been to a show on the new Tenacious D tour.  What merchandise do they have for sale and approximately how much is it?  We’re mostly wanting the new Rize of the Fenix LP (which is impossible to find in Toronto for some reason) and maybe some shirts or something.  Just curious as we can’t seem to find anything posted online by anyone else. Anyway, if you have any insight on the subject leave us a comment.

We’ll be rocking with the D in less than a month!  Can’t fucking wait!

We Are The Champions, My Friends….

Because we got D tickets!!!  In your faces!!!  Okay so we’re feeling pretty proud of ourselves for getting presale tickets but they probably won’t even sell out so we should probably take it down a notch or 5.  But we’re just so fucking excited!  And this is pretty late, I know, but for anyone who missed it this morning the Live Nation presale is still on until 10pm e.s.t.  Password is Fenix.  The Ticketmaster presale also ends tonight at 10pm and the password is ECHOBEACH.  Man, you’d think they’d make these passwords harder to guess.  Anyway, if you don’t make it tonight try your luck tomorrow with the public on sale at 10am Friday.  Both presales and the public sale are through the ticketmaster site.  Hit if for a direct link.  Comment to let us know when you get your tickets!!!

Dust off the stage, Echo Beach host, what we’ve got’s gonna turn your brain to shit!

Um, did you guys do some hardcore praying to the metal lords?  Because I think they heard your cries!  The D is coming to Toronto!!!  That’s right – July 5th at Echo Beach!  No other deets at this point but man the first week of July going to be the best week ever!  We’ll update with the onsale/price/time info as it comes available.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
If you can’t tell from all the exclamation marks we are super stoked!

And might I add:

We’re not worthy!  We’re not worthy!

Comment if you’re coming!

As long as there’s a record deal we’ll always be friends…

Posted in Uncategorized on May 21, 2012 by pickourdestiny

Ok everybody, it’s a measly 46 days until we go see the D live in Detroit rock city!  We’re super stoked.  Does anyone have any ideas as to how we can meet the D?  We plan to line up super early like huge losers so we can be the first ones in.  But we don’t really know the area or the venue.  Any tips?  As far as seeing them in Toronto, our dreams are slowly fading.  They had Toronto listed as a stop on their website but then there’s still no sign of a Toronto date.  What’s the deal?  Toronto Sun did an interview with Jacky boy and he didn’t say much in terms of the Canadian tour.  Check the link here.  I hope you all bought the record last Tuesday or else we’ll never see the D!

The Beginning of our Date with Destiny

Posted in Ramble On...... on February 6, 2012 by pickourdestiny

Reading this first post is going to be a quest down a long and lonesome road.  But when you reach the end, you’ll understand all there is to know about Pick Our Destiny, Two Kings, and Date with Destiny!  We promise the rest of the posts will be a lot tastier!

We fucking LOVE the D! We ARE the D! We NEED the D! And we NEED YOU to pay our way to the D!

Okay, not the entire way, but part of it. See, we’re devoted followers of Tenacious D but we are not wealthy. Our goal with this page is to, with your help, fulfill our Date With Destiny – traveling to see the D live and hopefully meet Jack Black and Kyle Gass!

But why would you give us money?
A: Because we’re hot!
B: Because you feel sorry for us:(
C: Because we have little shame and will complete dangerous, embarassing, tedious challenges for said money.


As most of you already know, Tenacious D plan to release their new album in May 2012. New album = new tour! As it stands, we would like to try and raise enough money to see the D at Sasquatch Music Festival which takes place in Quincy, Washington. We live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. That’s 3,939 km. 1 day, 16 hours of driving (not including eating, sleeping, urinating, taking stupid pictures). 30 days, 6 hours of walking (according to Google Maps). Or a quick, but expensive, 5 hour flight to either Vancouver, BC or Seattle, WA, plus a 3 hour drive. Plus we have to pay for festival tickets, food, accommodation, etc. Any way we do it, it’s going to cost us more than we can afford so we need your help! We’re guestimating we’ll need about $5000.00 total for the both of us. So that is our goal – raise $5000.00 by May long weekend and fulfill our Date With Destiny.

How will we raise the $5000?
-We have a Jar Of Destiny that we decorated that we ourselves are putting money into on a weekly basis (or daily if we have change in our wallets).
– We accept any donation amount from anyone around the world via the paypal DONATE button right here on our blog!
– We will hold Double Team challenge polls on our blog. You vote on which Double Team challenge we must complete.  Once the voting is over, the donations will be accepted on the blog.  Once donations have reached the goal, we will complete the Double Team challenge and will be fully documented via video that we will post to our Youtube.
– We will also be posting “roach clips” – videos of us completing little extra gigs – most likely through weird ads we find on craigslist – for the amount of money specified by the gig poster (feel free to send craigslist links to us – but the gig has to be in the Toronto area).
– We also accept “rock-offs”. You suggest a challenge to us and the amount you’ll pay us to complete said challenge. If we accept, we will wait for your donation to clear and we will complete the rock-off (and post the video for you and the rest of the world to see).
– Whatever is remaining by the middle of May we will likely beg, borrow, and steal.

What happens next?
– When we raise the money and embark on our journey for our Date With Destiny we plan to film every step of the way. Date With Destiny will be well documented and will be posted for all of you to see! Our loyal sugar daddies and mommas (you guys, the donatees) will be credited.  Any unused funds (assuming we make more than we actually need) will be donated to charity. Because we’re also givers, not just takers.

Who are Two Kings?
– That would be A.P and E.E.  Or Andrea and Erin.  Facebook knows us as Andrea Tenac and Erin Sassafrass.  We just needed a stage name to represent the both of us.
