Wow, feels like the last time I was writing in this space it was a year ago. Actually, wait, it was over a year ago. I was talking about the upcoming 2010 Montreal Infringement Festival. That went very well and then I went to Buffalo, that was incredible. I wrote about my experiences at this colossally amazing event on Forget The Box shortly after I got back.
Now, after yet another Montreal Infringement success (I wasn’t as heavily involved this year, but I did manage to get out to almost all the events), there’s another Buffalo fest that just got underway. By all indications, it’s going to be even bigger, while still remaining “under the radar” if you can believe it. I previewed the 2011 Buffalo Infringement Festival on FTB yesterday. Here’s an excerpt:
“These aren’t heavily-funded corporate artists, or artists creating work where potential market revenue trumps creativity and message. We’re talking musicians, actors, visual artists, hula hoop artists and more, doing what they love to do and doing it together for eleven days. It seems that once an artist catches the Buffalo Infringement bug, it’s hard to stay away. This year’s lineup features performers who have been part of the event from the very beginning…”
I think I’ve finally found a way to balance everything and find some time to this my personal blog on a much more regular basis, even with the huge growth over at FTB (number 3 on the Mirror’s Best of Montreal, several thousand visits every month, etc) that has been keeping me real busy.
We’ll see if it works, till then, do yourself a favour and check out the Buffalo Infringement if you can.
