New event: Sweat Box




Hello everybody,

It's time to update you all with the what's what of your favourite musical duo, Night Panda:

- I sold my turntables and am learning to play the drums
- Alex is learning turntablism and scratching
- Andrew (Alex's brother) switched to using Abelton and a MIDI controller to DJ
- Still no music made...yet...sorry...
- I got an A- in C++ programming!

Now that that's over with, here's the rub on a special night which Alex, his younger brother Andrew, and I are throwing in a week's time on Saturday, January 17th: It's called "Sweat Box" and it's going to be a night of electronic music, dancing, and art.

Sharing the stage with us that night will be native Calgarian graffiti artists Dillon and his friend Levi, who will be doing live art while the night flows and then auctioning it off near the end. And trust me, when I say that the individual(s) lucky enough to get his or her hands on their work will be the envy of the night, I mean it.

Unchanged from previous Night Panda hosted events: A festival of sights and sounds, ostentatious costumes for Alex and I, and 'splode-your-mind electronic music. Bring your dancing shoes!

Here's the 'deets to put in your phones / daytimers:
