Hip Tanaka for Governor?

[TalahRama]

I was wondering if anybody has any information pertaining to a "Hip Tanaka For Governor" sticker I saw in downtown Boston recently. I saw it while walking around with my girlfriend and almost peed myself. I think it's probably from the same guy who made a little Mega Man on a light post. So, information? If you want a picture, I'll upload it to somewhere.

Google shows up this:

Looks like someone just ordered a custom bumper sticker from Sticker Guy.

Yeah, I already found that, I was just wondering if anyone had an idea as to who this most badass person is. If someone is posting awesome videogame related stuff around Boston, I'd like to know who this person is. And hug him/her.

[EDIT] The minimum amount of stickers is 500 from that guy. That means 499 are still around?

Joe Pleiman, most know around here as half of The Rabbit Joint (http://www.ocremix.org/remixer/therabbitjoint/) (LoZ "Rabbit Joint Cover") and a member of The Black Lodge (Z64:OoT "Ocarina Boogie", since removed) was part of a band called Hip Tanaka, named after the composer and another side project of Pleiman's. The band even owned HipTanaka.com at one point, but the band/project died off.

Nothing listed at archive.org (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://hiptanaka.com) works after the 2003 stuff. AFAIK, the band did originals despite their name, not game arrangements, just to clarify. Last but not least, they were based in the Boston area. With the contact info at the Rabbit Joint artist page here, you can contact Joe and (hopefully) ask him whatever you want about Hip Tanaka. Who knows, maybe he has some leftover stickers. They also have some material possibly still available from (http://cdbaby.com/cd/hiptanaka) CD (http://cdbaby.com/cd/hiptanaka2) Baby (http://cdbaby.com/cd/hiptanaka3). Hope that helps!

For real. Holy crap.

For the record, were I in Massachusetts, I would have voted for the real Hip Tanaka.

Also: Chicken Mob (http://www.ocremix.org/composer/id/248/chicken-mob/) for President.

That is all.

How the hell do you know all this? I hate you.

Oh wow, The Rabbit Joint cover did get removed. That makes sense considering it didn't use any music from in-game, but man that was an awesome track.

I'm a little slow. Don't mind me.

You meant to say "Ocarina Boogie", but I forgive you. :lol:

:lol: Thanks. I continually strive for your approval. :-P

Maybe he went on a grand quest to paste them all over various cities. The one in Boston will be mistaken for a bomb any second now.

You scare me.
Man, I miss The Black Lodge. Ocarina Boogie might not have been an arrangement, but DAMN it was good.
