XTreme PowerPoint and Video Gong Show 11/12, 11/13

Mark Allen, proprietor of Machine Project in Silverlake, member of the c-level collective, and guest speaker at CTCS505 earlier this year, is hosting a video gong show event at the Echo Park Film Center (bring your own videos!), and a round of XTreme PowerPoint (huh? what?) this Friday and Saturday (11/12 + 11/13).

Video Gong Show, &c.


1) Friday, this Friday Nov 12th 8pm, we're doing the video gong show at the Echo Park Film Center (right next to machine). Here's how it works - anyone is welcome to bring a video they've made. Everyone in the audience has a button hooked into a diabolical electronic gong ringing system. When disatisfaction reaches a fever pitch of 50%, the gong gongs and the video stops. Prizes will be bestowed for the video that survives the longest (most entertaining) and the shortest (most annoying). I did this in Houston this summer and it was very fun, although a video of people chugging beer stayed on for a disturbingly long time. Echo Park Film Center, 1200 North Alvarado Street. Bring a video.

2) Saturday, this Saturday Nov 13th 8pm, Kelly Sears has curated an evening of xtreme power point presentations. Starring Emily Cummins, Jeff Kwong, Kelly Sears. Topics may include Nordic death metal, underage drinking and who knows what else. All that Kelly touches turns to gold, and I assume this will follow that convention. Bring beer.
