24 hour takeover – the wrap-up

happy birthday dimitry!

When we left the MTV studios after wrapping out the late great jackassworld 24-hour takeover on Sunday afternoon, it was a rather surreal feeling re-entering the time space continuum of reality, like none of it had ever taken place. And if it weren’t for all the photographic proof littering my computer’s desktop right now I’d likely believe it never did (I’d have to agree with several of the comments posted on the site; I too hope they make some kinda DVD cut of the mess just so I can see how it looked to everyone else on television). There was also a certain wave of depression that set in, presumably to fill the void left wide the fuck open by the abrupt cessation of a caffeine charged 24-hour adrenalin rush, or maybe it was just the after effects of the jackass Post-Traumatic Stress syndrome linked to these nerve-wracking events. Whatever the case, this feeling was swiftly replaced by a long, deep and relatively dreamless sleep for me, but for many others they found their way on over to Dimitry’s postponed birthday party later that night in the city. Troopers, one and all—or maybe just drunks? One of the two, at least.

Anyway, now that you’ve all found the site I hope you see fit to stick around. In addition to posting up many more behind-the-scenes moments and highlights from the 24-hour takeover and housing all the jackass and Wildboyz footage and photos you could ever hope to find on the Internet—legally, no less—we’ve got some long term plans to set up camp here with all new and original programming, interviews, articles, features, reviews and continual nonsense from the jackass cast and crew. We’ve kinda merged our past and present here—melding the talents behind Big Brother magazine and the world of jackass—so it will be interesting to see how all the fool’s gold pans out now.

All I know for certain is that once Knoxville gets the slightest taste of thinking and filming for jackass there will be no slowing him down—and this 24-hour deal was more than enough to whet his whistle. So once his pee-pee is fully healed, expect to see some good stuff streaming here soon instead of just into his old piss bag.
