It’s time for your 15 MB of fame: The Short North’s Got Talent show
posted by shortnorth
This week our guest blogger is Sevell from Sevell + Sevell.
While Andy Warhol was visionary (citing everyone’s 15 minutes of fame) these days,
15 minutes just isn’t enough.
When you perform at “The Short North’s Got Talent” show, you also get your fame
enshrined on YouTube for all eternity. So not only do you get your 15 minutes (or so)
of stage time, your performance is forever (?) archived online.
As everyone who was there last year knows, the talent show was an impressive event
with everything from opera, to a Latin-infused oboe performance, to Tasi Rigsby’s hot
salsa (the dance, not the condiment), to some guy playing the banjo. And not a single
drag (or drama) queen to be found among the bunch… who’d have guessed?!?
So if you have a talent you’d like to share with your community, consider being part
of this very cool event. All you need to do is contact the SNBA and let them know what
you do. And, as long as it doesn’t include lighting your head on fire, you are as good as in!
Even if your talent isn’t of the “American Idol” finalists calibre, no where else (other
than your mother’s house) will you get such a rousing display of enthusiasm for showing
your skills.
The event will be held at Axis again, so you even get to perform on a stage with a kickass
sound system. The whole thing is very exciting, so plan on being part of the festivities. And if your singing never leaves the shower, remember we also need audience members to cheer and laugh and throw roses!
It takes place the evening of August 11th, so you’ve also got plenty of time to practice.
By being a part of an exciting event like this, you’re also helping the fund-raising efforts
of the SNBA. And with the buzz from last year’s event leading into this year’s function,
the turnout should be even more impressive than it was last year… if that’s possible…
Be part of one of the most fun Short North events of 2010… and show us your stuff!
