Celebs Who Love OK Go

edited November -1 in OK Go
Sitting at home, i have been pondering...How am i going to go about introducing myself to all the wonderful people on the OK Go boards without seeming awkward. hmm...

Then this topic came into my mind! The title says it all. I realized that i've actually been harboring a desire 2 know what celebs dig OK Go as much as OK Go digs pingpong! and also, I'd like 2 introduce myself to you all. I've been an avid reader of the Ok Go forum for about half a year now but i've never really gotten an account until now. I'm totally obsessed with OK Go so much to the point where my friends simply turn their heads and act like they dont know me when i get overly excited about hearing or seeing OK Go in random places. Which brings me to this topic.

Long story short, I've become obsessed with this awesome book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer ( teenie, I know, but its an awesome book!). And browsing Ms.Meyer's site, i come upon a picture of her wiht OK Go. I become so ecstatic and i practically jump out of my seat. I ask my friends to pinch me, though they do not feel the excitement that I do. So i turn to you guys, the hardcore lovers of OK Go. And I was wondering. what other celebs love OK Go??!

So thanks for bearing with me and reading my superfluously long introduction of myself and my topic. I hope that I can become part of this wonderful Ok Go forum family and that we'll have lots of laughter and OK Go fun along the way. =D

  • Hey Tapegrl! Welcome to the boards! We're a fun and crazy and obsessed bunch! So you're gonna fit right in! Haha! I'm pretty new myself to this whole thing, but I'm sure we're always happy to accept a newbie (although I guess you're not really a newbie to OK Go are you?) into the fold.

    Erm, to answer your question, I think there's a picture of Rufus Wainwright wearing an OK Go shirt, floating around on the boards, that Damian (?) gave him. I'd provide a link, but I'm kinda link-retarded. Perhaps someone else can help?

    Nah, that's not weird. I once giggled when my friends and I were at the gym on treadmills. I turned to her and was like "you know what this reminds me of?" and she wearily replied with "don't you dare say it, I'm not gonna hear it!"

    Have fun and post lots!

    First of all, Tapegrl, welcome to the boards! It's so amazing that you should mention "Twilight." I was at that concert! It was an awesome concert. It was part of a major football tournamet's pregame party. You needed tickets way in advance to go to the pregame. No one knew Ok Go was going to be there. In fact, the concert was originally scheduled as a free event for all. At the last minute, it was changed. We all snuck in. I wasn't with Stephanie and her friends. We all met and got aquainted afterwards waiting to greet Ok Go. As we were leaving, one of her friends tells me, "Did you know, she's a NY Times Best Seller." Stephanie almost blushed. She was very modest about it. Stephanie Meyer is a very nice woman. Very sweet. Hey, and that picture was taken on my camera. wink.gif
  • Welcome Tapegrl! biggrin.gif I can tell you'll fit in just fine here. tongue.gif


    Doesn't Justin Timberlake love OK Go? Or is it just the whole treadmill thing he loves? Either way, it counts!


    Edit: Ooh fun postcount! 123!
  • ed roland of the popular 90s band collective soul is a fan
  • Welcome Tapegrl! I like this thread.

    I know the Kaiser Chiefs are big fans. smile.gif They've toured together, and I guess they got along well. Peanut and Simon from KC can be seen in the tour version of the DWYW video. Peanut's wearing the porkpie hat. They are also thanked in the liner notes of Oh No.

    Here's Ricky Wilson wearing an OK Go shirt.

    Also, here's a hilarious video of KC in Japan. In it, Nick is wearing the OK Go Tiger tshirt.

    *sigh*

    Does Mr. Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore count?
  • LOL of course he does!
  • Of course. Big J even has his own online fan club.
  • Yeah... that's what I thought...

    Oh Kay, you've got my Rufus-ing at the very mention of his name!
  • Everyone deserves a daily Rufusing!
  • I know, but at one o'clock in the morning... it's just distracting, you know? tongue.gif

    Rufusing is one off my hobbies though, it has to be said.
  • You should audition with your hot accent for that contest he's having where you get to go onstage with him and do the spoken part in 'Between My Legs.'
  • Oh wow! Where are the auditions held? I am SO doing that!
    EDIT- I just saw - youtube alert! I'm gonna have to start practicing.

    My accent isn't hot enough for the great Rufus tho sad.gif
  • That's nonsense. Your accent makes things flammable, even.

    Want to perform with Rufus?
    Going to a Town to see Rufus? Want to perform with him LIVE ONSTAGE? Rufus will select a special guest each night on his World Tour 2007 to perform the spoken word part from 'Between My Legs.' Join the list of guests alongside Dawn French, Sian Philips, Kate McGarrigle, Frances de la Tour, Jorn and Jake Gyllenhaal to have joined Rufus onstage in this very exciting moment in the show. Go to Rufus Wainwright Tour Auditions on You Tube and post your best rendition of the spoken word part (only!) from 'Between My Legs' and you could be selected to meet and perform with Rufus in your town. You must already have a ticket to the show. Entries must be posted no less than five days prior to the show. No band members or their families are eligible.
    Please follow the link below to upload your video (60 seconds or less). Send your full name, email address, name of your YouTube video (think of a unique name!), and which show you will be attending to: releasethestars2@gmail.com. Good luck!
