Heroes
Everybody single person at Opticlash 1, August 20th, 2005. And our sponsors!!!
Opticlash 2 is the second annual VJ Battle in Seattle. Like a DJ battle, our contestants pit their live performance prowess against one another: instead of scratching records and mixing music, they mix video images on two huge screens. A live DJ plays music to which the VJs sculpt their video art, all in real-time. The winner will be selected by a panel of local expert judges and will take home a kick ass grand prize (last time it was an Edirol V-4).

Hey Friends, it's me, Flowmotion & the Meltdown Festival.
Just wanted to remind everyone, the festival is coming up in about two weeks or so. Ticket prices will be higher at the gate so now is the time to buy them. 30+ bands on three stages, camping on 40 acres next to the river and epic views of glacier capped Whitehorse Mountain from the stage. It's about 75 minutes north of Seattle in Darrington WA. This is going to be one of the best years yet, so please tell all your friends and help spread the Meltdown word! Visit the official site by clicking on the graphic below to get all the details.
Thanks for the support. George Acosta is America's #1 dj. Dont miss your chance to see him perform in Utah June 7th. Its going to be sick. Catch him at Groove Nation's - Sensual Summer of Love Festival.
