FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: “Select Scenes from the World’s Longest Yard Sale.” Three episodes in full color. Shot, edited and directed by our buddy Jess Gibson. From our 2008 foray down the 127 corridor. Just for the hell of it. Our little web site said something like this: “Follow four assholes along Highway 127’s “World’s Longest Yard Sale” from Defiance, Ohio all the way down to Gadsden, Alabama.” Featuring Evan Rose, Dale Allen Dixon and me. We made Jess take his movie camera. He dragged it along for four days, and we thank him for it. You know, just junkin’ for four days. Sun-up (sorta) to sun-down (really). Good times, hot deals, twang, weird looks, threats, treasures, money exchanged, etc. We even built a little one=pager website for it: wlysmovie.com FILMED, EDITED AND DIRECTED BY: Jess Gibson. We’d like to thank the good people of Highway 127, and the states the World’s Longest Yard Sale runs through: Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. We’d even like to thank some of the cutthroat antique enterprises that descend upon Highway 127. If we didn’t like yer prices, we’d just snap photos of the shit. Take that. Already scheming up a 2011 mission. Might even involve girls. Hard to say. - - - - WLYS 2010: Micha Macfarland went this year, and shot some of the treasures he saw. And from yesterday’s post, the snapshots of Kyle Kastranec. Feeling jealous as hell about these shots. Good job, fellas. Wish I could of been out there this year. Damn. - - - - WLYS 2009: Our coverage of the 2009 World’s Longest Yard Sale. - - - - WLYS 2008: As well as our coverage of the 2008 World’s Longest Yard Sale. - - - - ON THE PLAYER, ON THE WORLD’S LONGEST YARD SALE: 01. “The Boneyard” on Sirius Radio.
