Versioning

Posts and comments on this site can be engaging, no? Occasionally a comment or post can spark a furious thread. Occasionally the reaction is more personal, perhaps a link or song or image or thought that you hoard away for yourself with no proclamation of thanks. More often days maybe weeks go by, post after post day after day, and all you can say is "meh."

Versionfest kind of works like this. It is a barrage of media, thought, art and music much of it sloppy, much of it still needing form but almost always year after year something shines through like a gem in a puddle.

A few years back that gem was Waco Resurrection, a computer game and installation piece that puts the viewer/gamer into "the mind and form of a 'resurrected' David Koresh." Check out this video and see if it doesn't engage you as it did me a few years ago.

This year's gem, for me personally, was to share the stage with the C*nts and to bask in their short minutes of glory (signing cd's even). We were sandwiched between acts involving naked men, blue sphinxes, a Norwegian pied piper and America's #1 Mom (with bells on her arms and my libido in her palm). All together, one murky puddle.



Okay you blogging fanatics, you posters of Rush and you commenters of things Gygax, after you watch the Waco Resurrection video check out the Dungeon Majesty videos here. The DM creators, TeleFantasy, were in the house, showing their latest creation, the Multinauts. Excellent - look for it in the near future.
