BLIP FESTIVAL 2012

Post by Luke »

BLIP FESTIVAL NYC 2012.

Okay. This sounds awesome, but does anyone have any info on what is being planned?

Bands attending?
Panels?
Movies being screened?
Vendor list?
And most importantly, is there a DANCE OFF?


Anyone else interested in going? I figure if the show is a bust I can find an open mic around somewhere close. Feel free to with or laugh me.

Dammit. I'm supposed to be covering that. :evil:
Anyone want to get paid to go to it instead?
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

I'm waiting to hear back on if Keith Apicary will be asked to play. I hope they have him. If anyone wants to mention to any of those dudes that they'd like to see him there I'll love you forever. That is if you want to see him play

If "Keith" doesn't have a panel at BLIP, ANIMAZEMENT may be of his interest.

Alright - that was fricken' awesome. I have been hypnotized by the surreal Omodaka.

I took video of several songs throughout different sets. Here's the URL for my playlist.

Ended the night with some Crif Dogs which always pleases the belly after a good show.
