LIB06:
an immobile little flash dookiy embedded in the site:

up close it looked like this:

at the time we thought it was quite the snazz.
LIB07:
we figured this kind of media thingie shouldn’t be trapped on our site, so we created a “portable” popup player that you could launch on our site, and then take along with you […]

tiffa novoa 1975 - 2007

heavy shit today.
tiffa (née tiffany ann snead) was not just a fashion designer, she invented an entire aesthetic style. she was not just one of the founding members of a notorious performance troupe, she helped to create an entire subculture. she wasn’t just a visionary artist, she was a force […]

“THEORY ENDS HERE”
- sign on the door to the production office at Boston University’s film department

we’ve been getting quite a bit of coverage in the wake of LIB. a lot of traditional press, a decent bit of blogosphere attention, and a ton of photos (both press and ugc stylie). there are also a couple really great videos that have gotten me to thinking about the future of online media content, […]

LIB07 went off with nary a hitch, and wild success a week ago…finally! i liken the process of working on a music festival to going through labor with 20+ people for 5 months, and when the baby’s delivered it graduates, and moves off to college.
so we ushered LIB off, and in the aftermath, as per […]

it’s 24 days till LIB and we just surpassed the LIB06 presale ticket sales.
now it’s time to buckle in and level up to the next project on the game-plan: Coachella.
