TOMORROW NIGHT: Super Art Fight 6!
To get the major shill out of the way first, our next show, appropriately titled “Super Art Fight 6” is tomorrow night, January 23rd, at the Ottobar in downtown Baltimore. Doors are at 8, show starts at 9, and tickets are just $10.
And honestly, this is the most excited I’ve ever been for one of these shows. I’ve had the honor and pleasure to be a part of these events from their genesis almost 2 years ago, and to not just be a major part of what occurs behind the scenes, but also to be one half of the commentary/hosting team (along side my brother from another mother, Ross Nover), is possibly the most fulfilling project I’ve ever worked on.
What makes this show really special for me, however? It’s probably the best mix of talent and matchups we’ve ever had.
One of the many jobs I serve behind the scenes is that of the matchmaker for the cards. I’m the one who once we have a finalized list of talent, pairs talent together for the hopes of the best overall show. Sometimes we’ve had some pairings who clashed artistically, sometimes the winners a bit too obvious (someone wildly popular versus someone just getting their footing), but I think this card, is beyond the shadow of a doubt, one of the strongest we’ve ever had the pleasure to present.
And how do I know it’s going to be good? Honestly, for as much as I enjoy the excitement and stress of serving as one of our hosts, this card - more than any that came before it - I long to experience it as an audience member. I honestly cannot say for sure who will win any of them, and that, my friends, is exciting.
I’m not going to leave you with a hard sell. I’m just going to say this.
Tomorrow night, if you’re in the Baltimore area, and you are looking for something to do, head down to the Ottobar and check out Super Art Fight. We’re going to have some great artists on tap, probably the most interesting musical act we’ve ever booked in The Dirty Marmaduke Flute Squad, and no matter what happens during the show, I can pretty much guarantee that you’ll leave with a smile on your face.
See you all tomorrow night.
