Ohhhh, it has been a while.
For the Thimbletron, specifically. We had intended to re-present it at the Inspiration Manifestation show a couple months ago, but... um, we couldn't find it. Oh c'mon, give us a break -- we've relocated ECC operations back to Ohio from San Francisco, and almost all of the ECC studios is still in boxes until we get the studio rebuilt in another one to two weeks.
And frankly, although we've now located the Thimbletron... um... we're not positive it works. Well, I suppose we've never been completely confident about the safety of thimbletronic radiation at public performances like this, but we always manage to make a show happen irregardless of public safety concerns.
Especially when it's another Frequency Friday from Fuse Factory. They've been supporters of ECC enough to bring us from San Francisco to Columbus for shows, and now that we're local we're hungry for more. Check out our company for this Friday's show:
Our February Frequency Fridays show features culture jammers/mashup band Evolution Control Committee (CMH), electronica-dub artist Doctah X (CMH), and sonic dadists Le Scrambled Debutante (Louisville, KY).
Date: Friday, February 3 2012. Location: Wild Goose Creative (2491 Summit St. 43202). Admission: $10. Doors open 8pm. Our Frequency Fridays 2011-2012 season is supported by a generous grant from the Greater Columbus Arts Council.
Stay tuned -- coming up, another Columbus Museum Of Art Game Show and other great projects to come.

Burning Man. wtf?
We get asked about it a lot, mostly by our non-California peeps. This plucky little festival in the Nevada desert has attracted tens of thousands yearly. The ECC has performed and/or broadcasted there every year since 2000. In San Francisco, it's ubiquitous. Elsewhere on the west coast, merely notorious. East of the Mississippi, almost unheard of.
What a shame. The short version: art, music, and freaks combine into one of the best parties in the world. And in that world everyone is a participant -- no spectators! -- so jump right in and BE the artist, the pirate, the neon bunny rabbit, or whatever you've always wished you could be. "Radical self-expression", as they like to call it.
But why should a bunch of jaded west coasters get all the fun? The better move: Steal It! Take that do-it-now energy away from there and start something yourself, outside of Burning Man. That's what inspired Gary Xaoui and I (TradeMark G.) to do our Burning Corn event 10 years ago. And it's what inspired the Kickin' It camp to make this Thursday's INSPIRATION MANIEFESTATION.
Fake fur, blinky things, excess fun -- all staples of Burning Man, and nicely ample in photos of Kickin' It's previous activities. huzzah! Makes me look all the more forward to ECC representing with not only The Wheel Of Mashup but also the Thimbletron, our first on-stage with that for years.
Wear a costume!
Get silly!
Bring your own artwork!
HAVE FUN!

After DJing the Game Show 2 event at the Columbus Museum of Art I just couldn't say no to DJing the next one. Here it comes: This Friday the CMA presents Game Show 3! The Game Show is all about encouraging the audience's creativity, and while that may make you roll your eyes like it'll be some forced teaching assignment, one worldy friend who saw the last one said she "knew that's what it would be about, but was surprised that it was actually awesome!"
The ECC's TradeMark G. provides a live soundtrack as members from the audience create bugs, rhymes, rock stars, yeti-proof shelters, and a meal fit for a ghost panda.
