I hope you like dancing. (Diplo AND Girl Talk in the same night?!)
Sorry. We got a little excited.
We can stop crossing off our calendars today. It’s finally April 30th. Gregg Gillis Girl Talk and Wesley Pentz Diplo will be gracing two of RPI’s newest “platforms” (ECAV and EMPAC) tonight.
Friday April 30
Girl Talk at the ECAV Arena. Tickets are sold out, but there’s a chance that someone is selling them on the facebook group. Doors at 8:30 show starts at 9:30 pm. From what we hear it has the potential to be a grossly epic sweat/dancefest, so dance appropriately.
Diplo helps kick off the intriguing onedotzero festival (at 11pm), in its second year at EMPAC. Diplo tickets are sold out, but “the cafe will be bumping with a larger-than-life 40′ HD feed for those that are curious / up late / didn’t snag a ticket”. If that doesn’t suit you, we do have 2 free press tickets available if you’d like to write us up a review after the show (email us for details). Festival passes are still available for $10. The doors open at 8pm: the installations will be on-going, there are two wild screenings, and the cafe will be open with food and beverage from the folks at the Epicurean.
Shabbat Dinner with RPI-Sage Hillel is being sponsored by the Mahler family. Starts at 7 and it’s free! [FB]
It’s Troy Night Out! Get downtown between 5 and 9 to check out all that Troy has to offer. The West Route of the RedHawk Shuttle will take you to monument square.
If you’d like to do more studying, UPAC Cinema has Eli’s Book available for viewing at 3 times tonight (7, 9:30, and midnight). What’s that? Oh. Apparently it’s a movie called the Book of Eli. Nevermind the studying bit…
The New York State Collegiate Track Conference is having its outdoor championship beginning at 1 PM on the Harkness Field. [RPIAthletics]

If you are a respectable grown-up living in the area with kids, and wonder if you will ever see a kid friendly event at EMPAC? The answer is yes. (Sorry, no slow-motion nude car crash ballets this time.) The kid (and crowd!) friendly sprites animation screening at 12pm is free for children age 3-13 with an adult (who also gets in free). If you know people whose children cannot get enough of the Pixar movies or older children that dream of one day actually producing that sort of work, this will be the event for you.
The AntiVJ performance (is on Saturday) and the installations version (both free) and will be open for the entirety of the festival. Here’s two tastes of what they can dish up: http://vimeo.com/10176661 and http://vimeo.com/2690618
