LiteratureBoing Boing tv backstage at Outside Lands: (Xeni + Russell Porter)
Boing Boing tv is live and in full effect at the Outside Lands Music and Arts fest in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. The gates haven't opened yet as I type this, but when they do, more than 150,000 people are expected to pour in over three days to see bands like Radiohead, Beck, Wilco, Primus, Tom Petty, Manu Chao, Black Keys, Ben Harper, and dozens of others, plus some cool tech-art experiments we'll be digging into. I'm here with our UK-based music correspondent Russell Porter, and the entire BBtv crew over the next 4 days. We're posting this episode from inside a giant rock star tour bus *very* generously loaned to us by friends of the blog (thanks Wayneco and Bre!). We ran around yesterday in a golf cart with the guy who created Outside Lands, Rick Farman of Superfly Productions. We spoke with him for this episode about the idea behind this festival, and what it takes to put together something this huge and complex. Events like this are a virtual world of sorts -- only with lots of real live breathing humans. We're parked about 100 feet away from the main stage. It feels strange to be so close to something so big before the gates open. All night long, production vehicles and golf carts full of loading guys buzzed around. Right now, there's an eerie quiet before the opening chords explode. This is going to be fun. Link to Boing Boing tv episode with discussion, downloadable video, and podcast subscription instructions. Tech notes: the tall eucalyptus trees next to our bus (this is a gorgeous park, remember!) are blocking our satellite dish, so no WiFi in the bus right now -- instead, we're jacked into EVDO cards on MacBooks, on which BBtv editor Wes and segment producer Derek edited this piece last night. I'm pleasantly surprised at upload speeds on this card (it's a Verizon Rev-A). Stay tuned for more video from the BBtv bus at Outside Lands!...

Hiya,
I'm a straight female college graduate moving from San Fran to New York. My company's relocation team will be taking me on a tour of available rentals in a few days and I'm looking for people who may be interested in searching for an apartment together. I'm looking to move into a 3-4 bedroom place in a fun, vibrant neighborhood (Upper/Lower Haight, Mission, Duboce Triangle, Castro, and Cole Valley come to mind...). I'd also like to pay no more than $1000 per person for rent. Here's some more info about me:
- I'm from New York, born and raised, but lived in SF for seven months last year while on an internship. Come September, I'll be working as a bio-engineer in South SF.
- On my free time I like exploring, jogging through GG park, hiking, learning/playing my guitar, watching live music, dancing, going out, barbeques, reading, Shark Week...
- Favorite Books: One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Long Way Gone
- Favorite Music: Too much. But for starters, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Wilco, Ryan Adams, David Gray, Cat Power, Ray LaMontagne, Jeff Buckley, Girl Talk, Seu Jorge...
I'm looking to live with people in their twenties (preferably), guys and/or girls. I'd like roommates who I can also call friends, though don't want to be attached at the hip. If you're clean but not in an anal way, laid back, and like laughing/having a good time then we'd probably get along quite well.
If you think we'd be a good fit, send me an e-mail and we can talk more!
Cheers!
