Blip Festival 2009

[FortNinety]

Was gonna throw this in the Shows of '09 category, but since Blip has always been it's own special thing around these parts, figured a dedicated topic was in order. First up, the line-up and schedule is finally available...

... Gotta fucking love that Brooklyn Vegan love! Anyhow, lots of names I haven't heard of, which is good. At this point, I'm mostly interesting in hearing something new. Shame about the return to last year's venue, which fucking sucked, though mostly the people.

Yeah I am not psyched about the venue. At least it's on my train though.

why did i think it was two days this year? 

anyway, i will surely be at at least one of the nights, though i'm aiming for two (friday and saturday).

[dmauro]

I think maybe they were tossing around the idea. They wanted to do something a little different this year, but I guess they just went with the same format. If it ain't broke.

BTW, if anyone has a nice camera and wants to be my photographer for the weekend, plus get in for free, EMAIL ME.

I will be taking some shots, but last year they didn't turn out well in that venue.

[FortNinety]

Yeah, not even bothering to take any with my shit camera. That venue was simply the worst of regular point and shoots, hence why I need somebody with a SLR or something.

[FortNinety]

Good God, even with the fancy camera, 99% of all my shots from last night came out like ass. But at least this one with me and Hally came out okay:

In case anyone is interested, my full report just went live over at GSW...
