Updated: Get ready to dance your pants off!
It's gonna be one for the books.
Mark your calendars everyone. On April 30th, one of the world’s most famous ex-engineering students will be gracing our campus. Gregg Gillis, better known as the mash-up artist Girl Talk will be up in the brand-spankin’ new ECAV with his laptop all set to go. Gillis’s last album, Feed the Animals was number four on Time Magazine’s Top 10 Albums of 2008 and is very popular as party and dance music.
Girl Talk shows tend to get a bit sweaty, but that doesn’t stop the party. A lesser known tech school newspaper had this to say about a previous performance. Last year, Gillis visited our neighbors to the north at Skidmore College too.
Tickets go on sale March 3rd for $10. [facebook]

This is going to be so damn awesome its not even funny. This is what I put on my student senate survey and on the rpi student union facebook page. I can’t wait.
On occasion, we really do listen
It says tickets will go on “sale.” Are people actually willing to pay to listen to that?
Also why is it at ECAV? won’t that be somewhat disruptive to people living nearby?
this is awesome!!!
@homeless
Hell yes and I seriously doubt it.
Look for information soon on how this legitimately awesome event will be (somehow) tied into another legitimately awesome event at EMPAC – the returning onedotzero festival, which will this year feature Diplo! More soon – going out of town or planning to be incognito on the weekend of 04/30 seems like an awful idea…
@Jason Steven Murphy
Agreed. Can’t wait to see what EMPAC has up its sleeve…
After seeing Dan Deacon at Empac not too long ago (and being a fan of other sampling artists such as Dan the Automator, The Avalances, etc), I would think that an indoor venue might be better suited for this event – maybe the Arena, and not the Stadium? Obviously people sitting in stands just won’t work, though come to think of it a crowd of dancers on the 50 yard line just might be a bit more comfortable for everyone…
Some information is already up here: http://www.empac.rpi.edu/events/2010/spring/onedotzero/index.html – more to come…
