Storm's a-Coming
Ladies and gents, it's been quite some time.
NoiseFest Film Project Update:
The dinner party was a success! We appreciate the support of everyone that came and glad that they had a good time.
Above all, I am very thankful for the enthusiasm and creative ingenuity of our friend, "The Touring Vegan Chef", Joshua Ploeg.
We are also planning another food-filled fundraiser to be held in mid-October.
This will be a BBQ; perfect for those who weren't brave enough for a four-course gourmet vegan meal.
What sets this BBQ apart from most that you may have attended is that this one will be held on the former property of a recently departed murderous old biddy. For those that are in the know of Sacramento history, good for you! For others, here's her Wikipedia page
Perfect for historians, Sac spooksters and anyone wanting to get in the spirit of Halloween!
Our IndieGoGo funding page have been live for a few weeks, but has only received little love since then.
As the project's broke-ass producer, I'm taking drastic measures as far as getting traffic on this page.
I'll be posting videos, fliers and other items to hopefully spark curiosity and at least direct traffic onto our page.
The rage comic below is one of many examples. It'll be posted in various galleries, forums and where ever goons may hide:
Stay tuned....

Alive, Kickin' and With a Stubborn Sense of Gusto
It's been a while since the last update and much has occurred over the past two weeks.
Since the beginning of January, I have been actively involved in creating a documentary about the longest running experimental music festival in the WORLD, the NorCal Noisefest.
This documentary will also cover the history of the experimental music genre as well as the discussion of whether or not it is music.
I am genuinely excited to be working on this documentary and not afraid to pour my personal finances into this.
Fortunately my daring partner, Chad, and I are not afraid to ask for money either.
Below is the video Chad made for its Kickstarter page, and if this doesn't get you excited about the documentary then you are clearly catatonic:
With the unfortunate tanking of the Kickstarter funding page, we're now setting one up on Indiegogo (note: unlike Kickstarter, you will receive funds regardless since there is no set goal to be reached).
We have also gone over several other fundraising options such as: benefit dinner (currently organizing), social/mixer while viewing footage of previous Noise Fests, possible benefit show with noise-friendly troupes and so on.
For the Noise Fest XV meeting held on May 29th revealed that unlike previous festivals, this year will have five days' worth of performers instead of three.
For us that will mean nonstop filming from 10am to midnight for Wednesday, September 28th through Sunday, October 2nd. At this point in time I know we will have at least 3 cameras and 4 volunteers for the show.
The logo used for this year has also been revealed, which I find a perfect and total encompassment of the genre.
All of the above can be viewed at the NorCal Noisefest webpage.
In the meantime, we will still continue with filming the meetings and making travel arrangements for our interviewees.
'Til next time!
