there was a good turnout despite the periods of pouring rain with approximately 25 people stopping through in particapating in either hot dogg eating, soda drinking & or making a piece of art to hang on andrew ka ‘tree mobile’. the art making was held back because of the rain storms that were passing through but AKa had a grill with hot dogs and brandt gallery supplied a cooler of pop so the offer of free food brought the attention of the men taking shelter at the gazebo [after assuring them that we were not part of the church].
everyone left happy despite the limited activities.
a handful of my photos are here, previous festism photos are here.
i shot a short video of mohammad cartoon that happened to be their last song of the set. the video was recorded to my memory card and is a little inferior, the audio was captured via the camera mic and is over modulated because of it..

it has been a few years since i’ve seen morrison dance and that is clearly my fault being that sarah and her dance troupe have a busy schedule not only summer but winter as well.
i had a rare friday off and the weather was perfect so i pedaled downtown to catch morrison dance perform as part of the ’sparx in the city’ free lunchtime outdoor entertainment shows that happen thursdays & fridays during the summer.
july 26, 2008 @ the ingenuity festival [all go signs stage].
the ‘free jazz’ band in this video had a nice set of lights on them and i left those bits in color, the dancers that were performing around the band were in near pitch-black conditions and for those parts i used the night-shot feature on the camera and processed in black & white..
i was only able to take in the late friday night performance of hot cha cha and i was there for most of saturday but i missed sunday because i was in pittsburgh.
i’m posting what i have available as of this moment on the internet of the ingenuity festival, the photo galleries that i have linked to will most likely have additional photos uploaded within the next couple days and i have several more videos to add to this post as well.
hot cha cha is one of my favorite local bands, hot cha cha [exit stencil] are not only awesome performers that are becoming better artists, these beautiful girls are also some the most personable people i’ve known. this was a good show of hot cha cha but not the best show i’ve witnessed HCC because of the open air sound and the lost of intimacy of band considering the huge stage and the cleveland mindset of not being downtown after 10pm.
the performance this night of hot cha cha was much better than i expected but i wish the vocals were heard throughout the outdoor venue. when i moved parallel with the stage when i was photographing there were areas that the vocals were perfect and areas that the vocal were nil.
i caught the first show by the evolution control committee under the bright sunlight and plan to represent that within the next few days. other videos/photos that i have not had the time to get to is ‘9 volt haunted house’, tiny frowns [nate scheible/chris smith], twilight, something..
‘civic ballet’‘a ballet duet’ [all go signs stage] had a beautiful dance featuring lisa k lock & artour bajanov. a short 90 second video is below. [lisa contacted me & corrected me about the correct spelling of her name and that the dance piece is not named the ‘civic ballet’ as read the program & plain dealer had it].
more civic ballet photos are here [gallery incomplete].
i ran upon the tango dance at stage one after hot dog dinner and was puzzled by the dance style of this couple for a short 90 seconds. i know very little of the dance art and maybe someone out there can correct me with some knowledge.
the evening show of the evolution control committee is below i have several photos to upload within the next couple days and this post will be updated then.
evolution control comittee - rocked by rape [all go signs stage].
hot cha cha went on stage a couple minutes after midnight technically on the 26, the date on the video may be a day off.
i would like to thank HCC for hooking me up with a weekend pass. this show was was pedaling crazilly from work to get there on time for my friday night plans. the audio is off of my zoom-h2 which was in my shirt pocket and when you watch the video you will notice the big difference in sound depending on where one stands.
hot cha cha is represented by exit stencil records and they left for tour the next morning.
fun show despite the poor turnout for ingenuity festival after 9pm.
july 26, 2008 @ ingenuity festival [all go signs stage].
this video was from the evening show from ECC, i went to both the afternoon and the evening show which was much more enjoyable because it was out of the hot sun and that also made the lighting so much better that you could see their videos. the first show was better technically because of several of the minor flaws with the wiring or something shut down the computer a couple times.
i hope to upload the video of ‘trademark G’ of the evolution control committee explaining how the ‘thimbletron’ works [the thimbletron is the glove he made that acts as a instrument enabling different samples to be played depending which thimble connects with the other].
