Open Ears
UPDATE: Esther Wheaton at OBOE COMICS, has put together a great blogroll of the event (she’s also responsible for the video below). There’s also a twitter thread if you’re interested (#openears). It’s nice to see the responses to the festival.
So the open ears festival is over, and at the last minute I was recruited to be one of the performers in Gordon Monahan’s “Speaker Swing.” It happened at the festival’s finale (in a way), Blue Dot, an all night warehouse things with the usual DJ stuff in industrial settings plus …
I did this for 25 minutes straight (I’m the guy to the left, in the red). It was tiring, but mostly on the hands and feet. You really can’t move once those things get going, or else you’ll fall right off. Especially when the strobe lights start going off. Maybe there will be some footage of that up soon …
