310. Not only do they take the time to meet fans, but when they do they genuinely listen to fans. I've been to some shows where the musician or what have you comes out and you say hi or give them a gift, and they start joking around. Then while you're talking, they're getting ready to say something else and act spacey, not giving much of a shit that you've brought them something or that you're saying hi. But Ok Go actually stand there and listen to what a fan is saying and try to have a real conversation.
311. Ok Go act like normal people while being incredibley vibrant.
312. They are down to earth (pretty much sums up what I'm trying to say above--hope it hasn't already been said).
Sorry, I know we're not supposed to number more than one thing in a post, but it's been awhile and for all the little things that Ok Go have done that do get under my skin, the above just reminded me about how wonderful they are.
313. After taking a terrible and massive break from my OK Go uber fandom I can still come back and feel right at home amongst my fellow boardies. 314. Resurecting this thread because it's too good to die out.
318. Their songs sound nice performed with different instruments: electric guitars, acoustic guitars, trombones, HANDBELLS. Can you tell that I was in band when I was in school? (choir too) I'm a music geek up and down!
319. WTF? 320. This Too Shall Pass 321. All Is Not Lost 322. Needing/Getting 323. Skyscrapers 324. White Knuckles 325. I Want You So Bad I Can't Breathe 326. End Love 327. Before The Earth Was Round 328. Last Leaf 329. Back from Kathmandu 330. While You Were Asleep 331. In The Glass 332. Louisiana Land [bonus track] 333. White Knuckles (Static Revenger Remix)
I know we haven't even heard some of these songs yet, but I'm listing them here all the same.
Also (as much as I once prefered calling it a bleep box for the alliterative possibilities and my mental picture of a Bleep Box Brigade), I just decided that I'm going to call #336 (The Thingamagoop Army) The Thingamatroops! Except when it's actually performing, then it's a Thingamatroupe!
337. (Apologies because I'm sure this has been said) OK Go makes me think and say and do wonderfully silly and creative things!
338. And then I actually have place to share those wonderfully silly and creative things!
339. The fact that they take time out of their tour to visit insane fans after one small email (this happened to me, I emailed them and asked them to visit the School of Rock where I go and they did a 2 hour workshop with us and played some acoustic songs.)

Haha, excellent! Thingama-troops/troupe!
And, hey, just like in "The Lord of the Rings," where people, places and things have a half a dozen different names at least (and that's not including what names the different races use) - so shall thus many names the Bleepy Boxes, Bleepies, Thingamagoops, etc, have!

I always called it a "bleep machine" because that's what the "damian and his bleep machine" YT vid called it... I like 'thingamagoop" better!
I can't believe that no one's said the confetti cannon!
#340. The gigantic confetti cannon that leaves you standing in a foot of confetti after the show and then the next morning, random pieces of confetti fall from every possible orifice on your body/clothing.
