Last night was a blast. Even though we couldn’t get the streaming up (I might just end up getting either small PC for live streaming events or buy one of them sexy wireless modems from my wireless provider) a massive sexy time was had by all! I have a list of big sexy thank yous to send out!

Big Sexy Thank You List in No Particular Order

• Ottobar, thank you so very much for hooking us up! The 2nd floor was the perfect venue for our first time out. We learned a lot and will be tweaking the show for much more awesome so we can eventually art the shit out of the main stage!
• Jim and Nelly from Morlock Enterprises, thank you so much for the massively sexy canvasses! They were so sexy good that you will now be the official Art Fight go-to canvass providers! Without you guys, the evening would have been an Art NOT.
• Big ups to Mason Booker of May Sun Productions for filming. The poor guy went hand-held for two hours with a front heavy camera! The VX2100 is perfectly balanced but with a wide angle lens, it becomes very front heavy. Thank you so much Mason for capturing the event. I’ll be editing through this two hours of footage to get something up for everyone hopefully sometime early next week.
• Thanks to all the fans and friends who came up to support our first show! I know Dead of Summer brought a lot of folks. I saw Greg and I think I saw CharmCityShinobi hiding in there somewhere. I’m sure I missed a whole bunch of folks who headed downstairs to check out MC Chris, but I heart you alls!
• Giant thanks to all the AZM readers who wrote in with suggestions! I’ll have to get a list of the suggestions we ended up with, but I’m going to be doing a limited edition robot print and everyone who sent in something will get a free print. This would have been less interesting without your insane suggestions so everyone who submitted deserves some props. I’ll hit you guys up once I get the print all sorted.
• Big sweaty high fives to my nemesis Nick for setting things up with Ottobar and for arting the shit out of the Ottobar. Also big ups to Chris Impink and Ross Nover who pitched in with their own canvass battle.

And I’m spent! Bloody fucking brilliant! I will do my best to get this footage edited down to something less than two fucking hours (probably five to ten minutes to throw it up on the YouTubes). If there’s interest, we might send out a longer cut to people. Will have to sit on that idea for now.

Again, thank you one and all for all the love and support. I think this is a great way to kick off something big. We have ideas for how to run the show in future, how to actually figure out who won, people to pitch the show to, and we’ve got some interest from various media outlets so who knows. The next Art Fight might just be massively more epic than last night!
