Permanent Art & Design Group : Marijuana Deathsquads : Czeslaw’s Loop
May 21st
“Conducted by Ryan Olson (Gayngs, Totally Gross National Product) and Stef Alexander (P.O.S., Doomtree). The concept of desire and the creative “brainstorm” will inspire a 2+ hour multi-media composition featuring Isaac Gale, members of Marijuana Deathsquads, Martin Dosh, a fleet of drummers, musicians from numerous local bands, electronic overtures, and large scale projections, lights and motion visuals from Playatta, Dr.Clement Shimizu and the Elumenati Group.”

All of these videos were recorded from the dock in front of the set, with a pocket-camera, minor edits in Adobe Premiere. All videos are available in 720p, so I’d suggest you full-screen that bizness. Unless of course you’re prone to epileptic seizures, in which case I would suggest you find some different videos to watch.
Marijuana Deathsquads at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts

These were recorded Friday at the MIA. All videos available in 1080p, so I’d suggest you fullscreen and turn up the HD.
All videos use a Canon G12, the second video uses some video mini mode the camera has, which I had never tried before, and didn’t realize it would be silent. That video is using Ghostcop from the Daytrotter session, available here for free: http://www.daytrotter.com/dt/marijuana-deathsquads-concert/20054687-3738338.html

I was working at Bentley Minneapolis \ Maserati of Minneapolis back in 2008 when Luis Fraguada and Tyler Christopherson contacted me to see if I would be interested in getting involved with a new monthly show they were starting. Luis had recently returned to Minnesota after living in Arizona for a few years, and wanted to start a Cars and Coffee show similar to what they had in Scottsdale. What started with 30 guys in a Caribou parking lot has turned into the biggest show of it’s kind with over 500 cars, and 1500+ spectators coming each month to enjoy the show.
With increased interest came increased needs. Morries Automotive Group signed on as a title sponsor for the 2011 season, and as part of this sponsorship I agreed to get an official website setup, and consult on their social media initiatives. We started with a pretty simple design brief, looked at a few websites that they liked, and just in time for the first show, the new site went live in mid March. It runs on a self-hosted WordPress platform, with a fully customized theme.

A big push for 2011 is the further development of our presence on social media. My plan to execute this is based around a robust blog, forming the hub of our content to be disseminated out through various channels. Full articles with photos, video, etc will appear first on the blog, before being re-shared on Facebook and Twitter. This is primarily to establish content ownership, and for SEO value. This will give us a channel to promote our philanthropic activities alongside our events and manufacturer news.
This is a self-hosted WordPress blog, using a highly customized Mystique theme. (I re-use this theme with different customization on this website, as well as the TCLA blog)
