10/22/08 Oneonta, NY

///unbelievable drive through rural upstate New York between Ithaca and Oneonta. rolled into town around 5pm and headed straight to Hope and Joseph Von Stengel's place... good buddies of ours from the Moscow days... they were hosting a pre-show potluck and invited us over for some grub and hangtime.

show that night was a benefit for the Oneonta Teen Center and held there as well. what a rad space. decent crowd came out on a rainy and cold Wednesday night. it had been set up by Joe, who has collaborated with us on several occasions now doing projections with his MAshUp, RE-Mix Digital MEdia SHow. the space worked great for the collaboration. the whole show was videoed and we should have footage soon. really really fun working with Joe. check out more of his work and philosophy at culturerecycling.com

Jared Mees & The Grown Children played first. here's a few photos and a video of "Slabtown (Friday Night)" featuring Joe's projections... keep in mind that this video is lo-fi off of my digital camera, and not from the video that the venue did... still pretty cool though... note Zissou Cam dancing....







Joe's always been a wealth of quality conversation... thus we conversed into the wee wee hours... lots of big thinking. psyched we've been able to schedule stops in Oneonta on all of our tours out East... this was the first official show though. cool town. look forward to more.
