Blur Studio is having their Siggraph party on Wednesday Aug 11th at the Henry Fonda Theater. The theme is AquaBash. There will be a open bar 9-12 (cash bar after 12), go-go dancers dressed like mermaids as well as acrobatics including a trapese artist. But best of all The Crystal Method will be performing live at the party. You will need a ticket to get in so unless you know someone who works for Blur you'll have to find a Blur Studio employee on the floor at Siggraph and hope he has a ticket left. (look for guys in Blur shirts) If you do get one each ticket is good for 1 guy and three girls. Should be a blast! Come out if you can.
(heard that it might be overbooked)
