from whamcity.com:

WHARTSCAPE 2009
»>We are goons. This information may change often.«<

For 4 years now Wham City has been organizing the WHARTSCAPE. What started as a summer warehouse party turned into a much bigger, multi-day outdoor festival with thousands of bands, performers, and folks traveling to Baltimore from all across the US and Europe.

Since, we organize this festival out of pocket and in our spare time, it is important for us to keep it comfortable and enjoyable for us to do. One thing we talked about at the end of last year’s festival was shrinking it down slightly and having it feel more community based and familiar.

This year isn’t focused around headliners, but mainly performers and friends that make up the community we tour, work and live in.

~

We are also greatly reducing the number of MEGA-PASSES (the ticket that grants you entry to every show and every day).

ONLY 300 Mega-Passes will be sold; this is the only guarantee that you can see all the shows.

Tickets will be sold to the individual shows, but it is strongly suggested that you buy a Mega-Pass, as it saves you money and assures you take in the entire poo-poo.

Whartscape will take place July 10-11-12 at the Baltimore Museum of Art, Maryland Institute College of Art Studio Center Parking Lot, and Load of Fun.
ALL SHOWS ARE ALL AGES!

We will begin selling tickets at 12 Noon, Monday, June 29th.

MEGA PASS - $45
INDIVIDUAL DAY - $18

~~~IMPORTANT TICKET INFO (PLEASE READ!!):~~~
Only the Mega-Pass guarantees entrance to the nighttime events at Load of Fun, which has a much smaller occupancy than the MICA parking lot. Anyone without a Mega-Pass will get in on a first come, first serve basis. There is a very strong likely hood we will sell out of Mega-Passes, which will mean the nighttime portion is also sold out.
The strength of the mega-pass is truly mega.

Bands We Forgot!
And More!

Some of these bands are complete surprises, but I like that they’re working hard to keep it feeling like a Baltimore community event. I was just talking with someone and we were trying to figure out what would happen this year, because obviously the event is getting bigger and bigger.

I don’t really know who I know I want to see, who I am interested in, and who will surprise me, because I can’t pretend to recognize all the names on the list. I am just going to buy a “MEGA-PASS” and figure the rest out later. Hopefully I can crash at Chris and Ace’s that weekend because with all this stuff happening at all points in time it seems unlikely that I will be going home at all.

Oh, and I wonder who won CIRCLES vs. TRIANGLES from last year. Obviously triangles won, because they are the best, but still I would like confirmation.

P.S. I plan on seeing Nuclear Power Pants and having a really great time and dancing and then I will write really nice things about them.

I wish my office had Casual Friday

And instead of casual it was vodka

perez hilton

perez hilton posted the new marina and the diamonds video for “i am not a robot” and is making a big deal about it. best comment:

I think this song is cute. But really Perez…stop trying to act like you discovered her. She is already signed to a label, which means that someone whose profession is discovering talent has already discovered her before you. Don’t forget that your “profession” is drawing dicks on peoples’ faces.

thanks to katie heater,

i now have two tickets for Virgin FreeFest in August! Of course there was still a ticket processing fee through Ticketmaster and I had to pay $5, but $5 for two tickets to see even just Mates of State is sick.

Willie just got his tickets and didn’t have to pay anything though? I don’t know what’s going on with the site.

Bands that I am interested in seeing since this whole deal cost just $5:

1. Mates of State
2. Girl Talk (if I can stomach the “dance bros”)
3. Franz Ferdinand
4. St. Vincent
