Dan Deacon's Ultimate Reality Part 3 @ Bang on a Can 2008
photos by Leia Jospe
Don't confuse this post with coverage of the 2008 Bang on a Can Marathon. In no way are we trying to say Dan Deacon is more important than anyone else that played during the twelve hour concert. It's just that Leia didn't go to the rest of the show because she was out doing something else (probably having more fun that she would have had spending all night in the World Financial Center). She (and about 100 other people according to her estimations) showed up in time for the 4am free Dan Deacon performance, or more specifically, for:
Dan Deacon, Kevin Omeara and Jeremy Hyman performing Ultimate Reality Part 3 by Dan Deacon (with visuals by Jimmy Joe Roche)Dan and friends ended up only performing for about 20 minutes. It was a memorable 20 minutes though - to the overnight security guards anyway.....

BV: All Dan Deacon all the time.
Please report to us the important details of Dan Deacon's next bowel movement.

does anyone know what Owen Pallett was talking about when he read from a piece of paper about "inter-dimensional conflict" and aliens and the like? I became a bit confused. I'm curious to know if he's a Scientologist now or something. maybe he read Dianetics.

it was a sci fi story.
btw- i would really love to hear about these "more fun things" Leia was doing before showing up at 4 am.
Posted by Anonymous | June 2, 2008 11:28 AM
guys, it was way more than 100. I would estimate at least 200 in that area in front of the stage. Basically it was packed almost solid with people.

So that was YOU trying to get a hold of the package? Unfortunately, it's been claimed.

No liveblogging this year, but I did write up the whole marathon, including the non-Dan Deacon bits:

Spambots are getting more and more creative every day. Why, these above almost sound exactly & precisely like your usual run of the mill BV commentators.

2:11 - you are right...this DOES looks cool!!!
2:08 - you are also right...this is really unworthy.
8:38 - there are a lot of things more fun than spending the night in the World Financial Center. Kudos, Captain Obvious!

Anyone saying Daniel Johnston is a genius must think the rest of the world is retarded. And when you look at hipsters wearing fruit-stripe gum colored clothing. Yeah, you're right.

This is long overdue and will be totally awesome. Jalopy is a beautiful venue and it's perfect for this kind of event!

Yes, let's have it in Red Hook so even fewer people turn up. And make sure no one's ever heard of any of the acts in the lineup.
