Jacob Ciocci of PaperRad performs

And boy was it awesome!





The night started with a screening of two episodes of "Problem Solvers", an animated series by paper rad featuring a whimsical cast of...well... problem solvers! I think it's gonna be on Adult Swim--we kind of got a preview.

A 20 minute video mix was up next and anything that features a video mash up of Rihannas "umbrella" with the Cranberries "Zombie" is A-OK in my book.

Then the performances set in.

First up was Fortress of Amplitude. I don't quiet know what to say about Fortress of Amplitude other than he had an amp painted to look like van-halens amp and he played the same note for a REALLY long time.

After Fortress of Amplitude Jacob Ciocci took the stage, taking time to explain to the audience the things he was thinking about while he created "I let my nightmares go" (title of which is taken from a Kanye West song) which included: Paramore, spirituality, support bracelets, sexman, whats up with you? (the Eddie Murphy/Micheal Jackson collaboration), amongst others. All of these things collided on the screen as Jacob danced on stage in front of a video mix which resulted in a cathartic and uplifting explosion! WHOA!
