Get Your Fest On

Tonight the Wisconsin Film Fest opens. So exciting!

I'm gonna check the Beastie Boys film "Awesome. I Fuckin Shot That!" tonight and it sounds great! The boys gave 40 hi-8 cameras to members of the audience for one show at Madison Square Garden and edited all the footage down for this concert film. In an interview recently in Wired the Beasties even claim to have returned the cameras to the stores after they shot the film. Pretty punk rock of them I must say.

Friday I'm gonna check "Kill Your Idols" about the early art-punk movement. Motor Primitives friend Ruth Goldman is showing her film Friday and Saturday "And We Were Jews" and VO5 is playing the Orpheum with Matthew on cowbell late Friday night.

Saturday the MPs are rockin the Orpheum! It is a bit expensive, but it promises to be a great party! We have a surprise for ya, so try not to miss it!

Madison really buzzes this weekend and it's really worth getting your Chuck Taylors out of the back of your closet and getting your slovenly butts out the door and see some films and mingle with the Madison cultural non-elite. You rarely see State St. so energized. Be the Engine dorks and get your fest on!
