January 5th, 2009showFelix Obelix debut + EP release show + Time Capsule Stuffing PartyTags: ep, grant, time capsuleearlyish show: Doors at 7pm, show starts promptly at 8pm$5; all ages; alcohol for sale; non-smoking, seated venueArchival films from the A/V Geeks at 8pm, Midtown Dickens, Billy Sugarfix, then Felix Obelix around 10:15pm. The show should be done by 11pm.You will be able to bring an item for the time capsule, which will be housed in the ArtsCenter’s lobby during the evening’s performance (see below for time capsule item criteria). You will also be able to record yourself on camera in a videobooth provided by Carrboro-based documentary company Minnow Media (with those files going in the time capsule as well). I have partnered with Ernest Dollar, executive director of the Preservation Society of Chapel Hill, who has agreed to keep the time capsule under the Horace Williams House, until its unearthing in 2059.I have handmade 60 EPs, each one different, signed and numbered that will ONLY be available on the night of the show.Sponsored in part by a grant from the Orange County Arts Commission.Time Capsule Criteria:Your item should be the size or your forearm or smaller and non-perishable. There is no censorship of items for the capsule, provided they meet the size and non-perishability criteria. It’s dicey to do so, but if you wish to bring an electronic document,1) for Word documents, I recommend printing them onto paper to include in the time capsule2) for audio or video files, put them on a high-quality DVD or CD. A DVD player that can also play CDs will be buried in the time capsule, so the future will be able to access these files.Thanks and hope to see you there!Wendy & Felix Obelix2008-2009 Durham Emerging Artist Grant Recipient2009 Orange County Arts Commission Grant Recipient
