77 Boadrum (Boredoms)- the website
Viva Radio presents an exclusive online video companion to the Boredoms 77 Boadrum legacy drum event. On July 7th, 2007, devoted participants and fans gathered at the Empire-Fulton Ferry State in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood to experience an ensemble of 77 drummers performing as “one giant instrument” under the direction of Japanese music legends the Boredoms.Press release continued below....A compilation of video interviews with participating drummers and extended documentation from this once in a lifetime performance, Viva Radio’s 77 Boadrum website also includes a rare interview with Boredoms leader Yamantaka Eye. Interviews were conducted throughout the morning and early afternoon prior to the staging of the event. Each interview, in which drummers were asked to answer one question in seven seconds, reveals unique and personal reflections in anticipation of the performance.
Event organizers estimated that over 11,000 people RSVP’d to attend, many turned away due to capacity restrictions. Viva Radio’s 77 Boadrum website is an ideal reference for those that experienced the event up close, those that could not be admitted, and Boredoms fans worldwide.Viva Radio is an online radio station based in Brooklyn, New York.

for full effect, view to this video while standing in a median of traffic with the video screen hundreds of feet below you - whilst hungry, tired, and frustrated, with no access to bathroom breaks.
If at all possible, make sure to stand fruitlessly inline for at least four hours prior to viewing.

Will I have to wait on a 5 hour line to get access to this exclusive online video companion? And then just get turned away just because? Yes!

for full effect, scratch and sniff your armpit 77 times.

man, i like reading vice a lot but they're pretty clueless when it comes to running this kind of event.
two days prior they sent me an email saying not to bring my camera because "eYe wants us all to remember the event in our minds, not our cameras".
after waiting 5 hours in line, nobody giving a shit whether i rsvp's or not, but finally getting in, i find the park filled with an army of overzealous VICE interns sporting every kind of camera and microphone you can imagine.
....but you can't deny, the shit was siiiiiiick
