World of Benbo party #3: START DIGGING

on Saturday April 28, 2012
tickets probably at the usual £5 price
available from here very shortly - subscribe for notifications

carried in a straitjacket

As always YOU CAN BE INVOLVED - if the theme (Start Digging) inspires you to make some new art, writing, music, remixes, films, DJ sets, shoes etc that would be ACE.

We are going to need stuff for posters and flyers too - the image above is great but taken from the Black Hole video so needs replacing.

Here is the song:

Get in touch - Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud, YouTube, Mixcloud

WOOOOOO

THANK YOU

You are the best people I know.

I would be honoured if you would consider making/performing something for the next World of Benbo party, 'If You Feel Emotional':

http://bit.ly/emotional-party

**Come and join lots of ace people doing/showing stuff that they love.**

The only criterion is that it has to be MADE FOR THE NIGHT - new work that relates to the theme and/or the song.  (The theme being 'If You Feel Emotional,' that is.)  Otherwise total carte blanche is yours my friend - art, writing, music, comedy, DJ playlists, film, cake, elaborate pens, anything.

We will have:

  • wall space
  • inside and outside space
  • giveaway goodies including a pamphlet
  • maybe some CDs
  • projector
  • decks
  • food
  • resident emotophotographer

et cetera.

DEADLINES:

  • anything for the PAMPHLET: 5pm, 14/11/11
  • any VIDEO/AUDIO for consideration: midnight, 19/11/11
  • the PARTYYYY is itself on: 26/11/11

If we get loads of things we might have to curate what we do on the night, but everything will get a link on the website at the very least.  If you want to be in the Benbo band for the night or maybe just for one song that might also be possible.

WRITE ME BACK NOW!  Or store it up and write me back in a bit!

REWIND MY SELECTA

A stupid thing me and Michelle did:
