Thanks to The Know and staff for being so accommodating and understanding with the shows running over schedule. Fortunately, the music was appropriate to the setting and the neighbors stayed happy.

It was so great to see musicians come out and support each other. I think a lot of friendships were made and fans gained for ourselves and the artists. After 4 marathon film shoots I can’t think of a better way to celebrate our accomplishments.

Thanks again to the fans, the artists, emcee delta t and Geoff Parks for all of your help in the community as a whole. Let’s keep this going for the long haul.

Thanks to Chris Hagan for the really nice article, may you continue your journalistic excelence.

We also were featured in the weekend section of the Statesman 2 days before though the article was informational and no interviews were taken. But it’s always nice to see your name in print, thanks again.

Yes all caps are necessary. I got off work early on New Years Eve and came home to 12 boxes of DVD’s. 3 whole months of hard work have finally paid off! We are totally excited and can’t wait to get these out to the artists. The artists will have them after January 9th and you will be able to get them at the DVD release party.

Ladies and Gents! We are proud to announced that the first DVD is finished and is currently at the duplicators. We are so excited and proud to announce that our DVD release party will be a two day event @ The Know on January 9th and 10th 2009 and is going to set you back 5 bones. The Know is a bar so you must bring ID, sorry under 21’s, please go to an all ages show to buy a DVD from the artist.

Corvallis has a neat vibe, friendly people and a genuine sense of community unlike anywhere else in Oregon. Whenever I mention Corvallis to anyone, the first thing I hear oftentimes from music fans is… “HARDCOREVALLIS”! That was definently proven with half of the bands being of the punk persuasion. All in all a positive experience.

Thanks to Bill for letting us commandeer his place of business for a whole weekend.

Live From New Y — I Mean, Eugene

You know you’ve always wanted to be in a music video. And if you make it to Diablo’s Downtown Lounge for the three-day “Live From Eugene” festival, you, too, can be forever immortalized in rock-out position. Well, sort of. Filmmaker Carson Hughes is creating a DVD series, “Live From Your City,” to document local scenes on video by hosting music festivals and filming them. This show in Eugene is Hughes’ second, after recording a Hush Records-heavy DVD in Portland (Corvallis and Salem are next up). The lineup’s pretty eclectic, and the order of the performers slaps quiet acoustic folk acts like The Comforters aside folklore-geared metal bands like Heathen Lore, jam bands like Just People aside more metal (ISSA). It defies logic. And yet Hughes’ résumé is nothing to sneer at; dude’s directed music videos and filmed live shows for artists from Too Short to David Bazan to the Lifesavas.

But don’t be fooled: The lineup is not just made up of exclusively Eugene bands, as the project’s title might suggest. There are several Portland acts (including Dat’r), as well as an L.A.-based band (Silent Treatment) on the roster, and the coveted evening slots on Friday are taken up by out-of-town bands. Which brings us to the performances themselves. See, there are 30 bands playing this three-day festival. Each one will play five songs, which means that, if each song clocks in at an average of four minutes, every band will play a 20-30 minute set. So if you want to see a band and be in the film of their live show, show up on time; fame waits for no one. See livefromyourcity.com/news/ for the complete lineup. Bands play beginning at 2 pm Friday, Nov. 7, Saturday, Nov. 8, and Sunday, Nov. 9, at Diablo’s Downtown Lounge. 21+ show. $5 per day or $10 for all three days. — Sara Brickner
