Update: Madrid le Blanc

A write up of the festival has been finished. Please head over to my personal blog to view it (meanvegan.blogspot.com). I also may be posting it to Heathen Harvest, if they allow me to do that.

All of the video footage is captured with the exception of one problematic hour captured to a CF card. That will soon be resolved, I hope. Over 150gigs of hard drive is now dedicated to the festival.

Thank you Jesús for making this whole shindig happen, my hat off to you for working tirelessly to pull of such a wonderful festival.

Andrew King and John Murphy for your conversations and interviewing with me on such short notice.

Many thanks to Simon Collins - I am so happy that we met. Dimo, Thomas, Gerhard, it's a pleasure as always. Marco, it was a joy talking with you, and I am sad that we could not have had more time together - stupid spanish payphones.
To the bands, thank you!
Arnica - You were, without a doubt the biggest and most welcomed surprise of the festival!

Also a big thanks to PortaBrace for making such a great hardcase! Without their case, those baggage handlers would have broken my camera 100 times over.


I will try to write more about the festival when I can - With this, as well as the footage from the Novemthree, A Minority of One, Waldteufel and Fauna show in Seattle, and the additional Bain Wolfkind footage, I have over 40 hours of footage to edit through.

Pesanta

With the coming of Madrid le Blanc on the horizon, I've news of a new division of The ƒ Consortium - Pesanta.
I will be releasing all media under the label of Pesanta, including DVDs, CDs, and vinyl records. There are a few tentative releases of really great live recordings, all of which will be limited to under 300. The Bain Wolfkind DVD, as well as the Madrid Le Blanc DVD/CD with both be available in larger circulation, as well as a small and extravagant limited run.
Website should be online, with news of these possible releases by the end of the month.

Become a Sponsor, Madrid

As you might have guessed, travel and equipment is not cheap. I do what I do simply for the love of the music, not the money - obviously. If I were in journalism field for money, I'd have to be clinically insane.

Simply put, my love of journalism is becoming very taxing on my finances.

What I am asking is for sponsors for the upcoming Madrid le Blanc Festival.

What will you receive in return? Based on the response to this post, you would receive credit on the dvd (If you would like), a limited edition DVD and CDr of the festival in a personalized wooden box packaging, and 3 signed and numbered photo prints*

If you are interested in sponsorship - lets have a dialogue.

Thank you in advance,
Adam


*Currently the DVD/CDr is tentative, I would not accept any sponsorship until the DVD/CDr is officially confirmed.


*Update:
Based upon the sponsorship price which has yet to be determined, the DVD box set will be limited to anywhere between 25 and 50 copies. Each sponsor shall receive a personally inscribed wooden box bearing an engraving commemorating the event. Each box will contain a personal thank you to all the sponsors, 3 (maybe more, to be determined) photos from the event, the DVD and a CDr of select songs recorded directly from the mix board. The CDr will only be available in this bundle.
This bundle will also be the same bundle that will be given to the artists and promoters. Truly a limited piece
