Our directions were to find the big white cube parked somewhere around 11th and SE Morrison. Cube was parked outside a club. Unbelievable. 6 guys stuffed in a delivery truck converted to a traveling FBI band (no, seriously, all the electronic equipment in the back could have passed for surveillance ……. well, except for the 6 mini piano keyboards in front of each operator. In a more traditional setting - a club, a concert venue, a workshop/classroom, any stage, this would have been butt crack boring (think Merzbow). But the location, the open air, the warm night, the people spilling out of the club for a smoke break, the collective enthusiasm and wonder generated by all of us, the fairly innovative use of ambient noise and drum kit rhythms, seeing the equipment and the operators operating at such close range and getting a feel for the ensemble (I hate arena concerts…..which I term spectacles because there is nothing remotely music-magic about them) drove home the magic of Live Music, chamber style, updated with modern “instruments” and use of improvisation.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://alitisa.com/index.php.old?action=fullnews&amp;showcomments=1&amp;id=97"&gt;Alitisa Records&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://blog.dalasverdugo.com/post/16537421697</link><guid>http://blog.dalasverdugo.com/post/16537421697</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:17:15 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Packed house at Josh’s surprise birthday party.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Film students, present and past, please enjoy this sketch written by me and Dan Gurewitch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A favorite sketch written by two of my favorite sketch written-ers ever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is really amazing… and frighteningly accurate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here’s a video I directed poking fun at Film School and all the silly things we used to do. It was written by Emily and Dan, produced by Creighton, edited by Nick, VO by Kelly, and shot by Carl. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was super fun to direct because I got to throw in a lot of homages to films my friends and I made. For instance the titles: “If Nick” and “Sorrowful Repentance” are two titles of shorts I made in college (I know). The title “Friday Night Riot” is a throw back to the public access show my friends and I had in high school called, “Tuesday Night Riot.” The shots in the, “Life In The Key Of A-Minor” are all similar to a couple of movies I made in high school and my good friend Bryan made Freshman year of college. Also Bryan makes a guest appearance as Bertrand Peffercorn. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And my favorite homage is the title, “Miles Apart”, which is a reference to a student film my friend Travis directed in college. The film starred a young Josh Ruben and Sam Reich who, at the time, I didn’t know and now I work with. Enjoy it and Reblog it!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How did they not cover “Chasing a guy carrying a briefcase (preferably through a parking garage or dorm building)”?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wish I could go to RIT screenings again. I LOVE BAD STUDENT FILMS.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.dalasverdugo.com/post/16458935045</link><guid>http://blog.dalasverdugo.com/post/16458935045</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2012 01:57:29 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>whiterainbow:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Never had that problem before, but honestly I’m just kind of shocked that after yesterday anybody would complain about copyright violation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://i.imgur.com/X6Fmj.gif"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But you know, whatevs. Das coo brah.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s like rain on Tumblr’s wedding day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tumblr is probably responding to a DMCA request filed by the copyright owner. That’s how it’s supposed to work. The point of all the protests is that this system is already in place, so we don’t need new laws that would shut down whole websites. It wasn’t a protest in favor of copyright violation.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.dalasverdugo.com/post/16130189348</link><guid>http://blog.dalasverdugo.com/post/16130189348</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:04:01 -0800</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
