Went to the West Hollywood Halloween dealio last night. Pretty large crowd (several hundred thousand people, apparently) and some great costumes. I spent most of the time at one of the stages of a ‘band’ (Mutaytor) that my friend spins fire for. Also thought I’d mention, for those in the LA area, that RESFEST is coming to town this weekend. I bought tickets for the Cinema Electronica, Chris Cunningham Retrospective, and By Design shows. Also, all day Saturday is SCALE, the Southern California Linux Expo.
The LA Freewaves kicked off their wan^H^H^Hmemefest today. Xeni did a little writeup in today’s Wired News. I love this quote:
“Before, artists had to figure out how to access costly facilities for editing and output,” she said. “Now, $5,000 buys you just about everything you need to produce high-quality video artwork.”
For those unfamiliar with the subject area, ‘high quality video artwork‘ is by and large an oxymoron.
