Quicktime 640x480 version available: 005 Bubble Battle After Party
Here's the footage I shot from the
Bubble Battle NYC After Party. The party was a blast and the chiptune was an aural delight. I really dig the people at loft parties. That layer of pretension gets checked at the door. Everyone's chill, it's just a gathering of really together cats. I can't think of a single asshole from that party. I danced almost the entire time. When I wasn't dancing I was tits deep in heavy conversation about God-knows-what. I made friends that night. I didn't leave the premises until after the sun came up, but not before we (those actually
living at the
Wonderland Collective), had breakfast. This party ended well
after question mark. I slept the entire next day.
This video may or may not contain the following performers:
Bit Shifter,
Bubblyfish,
Glomag,
Nullsleep,
The Rev. (List copied from
Self-Referential Title.) The "may or may not" part stems from the fact that I only recorded four performers, one of whom is obviously Bubblyfish. I didn't put her name in the video since I'm not so sure which guys I taped. I thought it would look odd if I credited her and nobody else. I tend not to plan these things in advance. I took only my pocket camera with me because I was just there to chill.
I tried to get a photo of Lori and Kevin together (they run
newmindspace.com) but they had to leave the party early. Lori had flown in from Canada the night before and if I remember correctly she was going on 48 hours without sleep. But I could be wrong -- this is how rumors get started! I didn't take many photos of the performers; I was too busy body movin' to their squelches and bleeps. I'm surprised I didn't dislocate something. Good show, the lot of you.
I usually aim for pin sharp photos but with this camera it really couldn't be helped. As you hear in the video I left the better model at home. I didn't want to be weighed down with a heavy kit. These pictures may be blurry but they have a charm all their own. I like them!
