Does this mark the beginning of the end for the local cat video DIY underground? Will anybody from the feline house show scene get a slot? What are the chances Hunter Hunt-Hendrix will submit?

All I know is, I'm getting tickets right...MEOW.

That's the second time I've meowed in a thread today, for those of you keeping score at home.

In happier news, "Internet Cat Video Film Festival on Open Field"
I am still verrrrry excited.
|
|
|
this is outside right? i should bring a cat on a leash
|
|
|
Yes. And yes you should. That might improve his fan page stats too.
|
|
|
I like cats and I loathe being a dink but, man, the Walker sure has sucked lately.
I couldn't imagine the New Museum or the Whitney doing an internet cat thing.
Sorry for the bummer post.

Walker Art Center: the new YouTube
|
|
|
the cats will also be performing with Laurie Anderson
|
|
|
Not sweetening the deal
|
|
|
I hope keyboard cat shows up
|
|
|
As long as the Walker holds true to its nominating process, I see the event as genuinely innovative. If the bill ends up larded with, say, Matthew Barney cat videos featuring Hologram 2Pac and Lana Del Rey, that's another story. I'm putting my money on Theremin Cat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ONJfp95yoE.

Matthew Barney cat videos featuring Hologram 2Pac and Lana Del Rey
I'd watch that

Maru!

Calling all cat aficionados (I always think that should be spelled "aficionadi" but no matter):
VICE is sending a camera crew to this. A friend-of-a-friend is coordinating some manner of the visit and looking to interview folks who a. are crazy about cats and attending b. who are maybe... bringing a cat with them? c. would be a good interview, I suppose. Any combo of the above. If you'd like to be contacted about an interview, PM me.
|
|
|
I'm a&b but not c
|
|
|
wow, pretty sure a + b - c = something > a+b+c
I'll PM you the email address if you want to contact the lady.
|
|
|
haha ok. at least we were thinking about bringing our cat on a leash.
|
|
|
I think you'd do just fine.
|
|
|
i'm excited for this. who's all going?
wish i could bring Mr. Beans..
|
|
|
Lil' Bub is gonna be there.
|
|
|
ZOMG
|
|
|
so amazing right? might get to meet her tonight even!
ahhhh
|
|
|
We decided against bringing Disco along for now because I think it's gonna be a little too hot out for a cat to be outside
|
|
|
yeah, i'm not planning to get there until around 8 i think
|
|
|
planning on going, strangely excited.
|
|
|
Pudge is gonna be there too!
|
|
|
Who's Pudge?
|
|
|
LIL' BUB IS THE REALEST SHIT
|
|
|
I've never been so nervous about potentially meeting a celebrity
|
|
|
Holy fuck ! Bub's the best! As if I needed ANOTHER reason to go to this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm way behind on internet cat celebrities.
|
|
|
I hope all these guys are ok in the heat
|
|
|
looking at the hourly forecast for tomorrow, supposed to be 80 or less by 8pm at leat (video film fest is at 8:30), so that's good
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this is a film about cats, our passion :(
|
|
|
If you're also in Minneapolis, and want to meet BUB, come to Walker Open Field today at 6:00 pm for a "Lil Bub Meet and Greet with VICE" which will precede live music and the much anticipated Internet Cat Video Film Festival.
|
|
|
are people really bringing their cats to this? is it weird to feel weird about that? it seems like the same sort of thing as people bringing their dogs out on the 4th of july. but maybe i just hang around really uptight cats
|
|
|
Our cat Disco absolutely loves being on his leash outside and hanging out with people. He's a very social cat.
|
|
|
Disco is THE BEST. But my cats would never go for this. Ever.
|
|
|
He also likes all other cats. He's never hissed or anything meeting other cats even when they do that to him.
|
|
|
I'm going to put a lion mane custom on my dog and bring him
|
|
|
Walker made an official "don't bring your pets to this" statement. Too hot.
|
|
|
What if I bring a wild animal?
|
|
|
that's cool. what do you got?
|
|
|
Squirrel
|
|
|
Can you get it on a leash?
|
|
|
Not yet
|
|
|
Let me know by 6, I'm kind of on the fence about going now
|
|
|
re: bringing cats... the Walker is saying definitely do NOT bring your cats to this... the weather is going to be low 90's high 80's until 7-8pm :(
can't wait to meet Bub!
|
|
|
I wore my cat dress. I'm overly excited to meet Bub. I'm overly excited for this event. Cat videos are my favorite Internet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
^^ awesome
Bub is the sweetest and tiniest cat ever.
I know it sounds corny, but i was so insanely happy meeting and getting to interact with her some.

Bub's dude has five cats. Five.
I like how his question to us was not "Do you have any cats?" but "How many cats do you two have?" Maybe it was the cat dress that tipped him off.
|
|
|
best film fest EVER!
|
|
|
|
|
|
National Media!
Which of you guys is the "a clutch of hipsters in their mid-30s"?
|
|
|
Also, I wish I had gone to this!
|
|
|
we didn't have beach chairs so not me
|
|
|
That article is weirdly written. I'm glad someone finally had the guts to call "cat stratches butt" a "one-note offering"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Randi Fountain in her happy place.
|
|
|
That little girl was SO EXCITED to meet Bub!
|
|
|
AND SO WERE YOU.
(and so were we)
|
|
|
That little girl being you?
:)
|
|
|
pretty glad i didn't go to this, i fucking HATE cat exploitation
|
|
|
who is bub and why is he/she famous? i dont' get it.
|
|
|
He lacks a lower jaw. Duh.
|
|
|
bub is like a perma-kitten or some shit
|
|
|
New favourite event.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lil Bub is a cute special-needs cat with a sweet owner who is good at marketing. See: Bub totes, Bub t-shirts, and BUBtons.
|
|
|
And Lil Bub's owner is pretty hubba hubba. Just sayin'
solace, love that panorama shot!
|
|
|
sharyn, yeah, Mike is a rather attractive dude.
did you see his new Lil Bub tattoo he got in town yesterday??
|
|
|
Yes! I meant to take a photo of the tattoo but didn't. Sadness.
|
|
|
i asked him where he got it, but he couldn't quite remember the shop name. Tiger Rose maybe?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ah, nice. thanks for the info Classical. He mentioned he has a 20+ lb. cat at his studio.
met the lovely Mrs. Classical with TRL last night at this.
My photos

It's coming back for 2013. But not at the Walker. At the State Fair!
|
|
|
Tickets went on sale this weekend!
|
|
|
We've got ours! Well, my son and I. cojak opted to skip it this time around.
|
|
|
reserved seating? how much?
|
|
|
$13 ($10 tickets with $3 fee), plus you need to pay for admission to the fair
|
|
|
assigned seating?
|

Wise choice. I don't know why any farm kid would go to the state fair when they can just go visit their parents.
|
|
|
Sounds like a great deal to pay for watching dumb videos of boring cats that you can see for free on Youtube.
|
|
|
But with more stench and rednecks.
