 20061004 Wham City Round Robin @ USA
 TOTALLY HUGE NEWS. This Friday and Saturday, the Universal Space Agency is hosting the first two nights of the Wham City Round Robin Tour. I realize this doesn't mean anything to you yet, but let me explain what this is and why it is incredible. It's 16 Baltimore bands (by Baltimore, I mean not only the city, but also the adjective 'mind-melting') playing round robin over 2 nights. Round robin means that each band will setup along the perimeter of the space and play one song each for 4 rounds -- all you have to do is stand in the center and spin! The first night is themed FEET, which means loud, raucous bands, and Saturday night is EYES for the quiet and trippy stuff. If you didn't already know, Cex is one of my favorite live acts, and they are playing on Friday night. Do not miss the chance to see them in this unusual setting. Even better news -- USA has annexed more space to make this possible. Yep, we got the place next door, so now we're 4,000 sqft of space to share with everyone. The finer details: October 6th and 7th. 32B South 1st. 10pm. $5 at the door. Beer will be for sale. The line-ups: FEET (Friday) Blood Baby Butt Stomach Cex Dan Deacon Height OCDJ Ponytail Video Hippos EYES (Saturday) Boo Boos Cache Cache Ecstatic Sunshine Lizz King Ram Ones Sand Cats Santa Dads Sports Ghosts 9

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
