At the Tucson Roller Derby 2 weeks ago this band, Vanish Twin, played at halftime. They totally rawked and were pretty fun to film. I particularly like this song, about 2012, the year the world is supposed to end according to the Mayan cosmology.

"That will be the day, that the world gets blown away!!"

i especially like the concept of 2012 because the DAY on which the world ends in the Mayan calendar is my birthday, December 23. yay! I will be 44, and the world will be about 5000, or 6000, or 4 billion, depending on who you ask.

At the end of February I was supposed to perform live audio and video under my pseudonym, Charismatic Megafauna, at the Dry River experimental art festival, FLOOD. However, I was so busy that I didn't have time to prepare, so instead I showed a slide show with narration that humorously "explained" why I wasn't able to perform, then played a previously made video piece. For y'alls entertainment, this is that slide show turned into a video.

This is a performance that was part of a big show at MOCA that was masterminded by famed Mexican artist Guillermo Gomez-Pena. Jason and I shot some of it this afternoon. Edited at the blog party.
