Stew Art Recap

Greetings Friends

Sorry for the delay in recapping the inaugural S2 event but we wanted to wait until we had this video ready for consumption.  We think this will give you a better feel for just how all this Stew Art business works.  

Needless to say, we had an absolute blast diving head first into the world of crowd sourced, crowd directed improvisation.  Many thanks to the group of you that joined us for this ground breaking event.  Your willingness to take chances with us (knowing the possibility of a train wreck) is thoroughly appreciated.  We are already contemplating many more ideas for the future but thought the first outing was a definite success.  I had the pleasure of talking to most of you after the show and was glad to hear most of you felt the same way.  Thanks for the valuable feedback on the event, we've taken many of your thoughts and comments to heart as we continue to plan new S2 shows.  Additionally, we had such a good time hanging out at the last event that we are going to extend the meet & greet a while longer to further mingle, take pictures etc.  

As most of you probably know, we will be hosting the next event at the historic Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR on Saturday, October 24th. Only 50 tickets are available and they go on sale manana so get'em while you can.  We feel like we have barely scratched the surface of this concept so each event is certain to grow and evolve.  Stay tuned for a date near you, or just get in the van! (Let's see.... we've hit the Midwest and West Coast. Hmmm... Where to next?)  

So enjoy this short clip documenting the inaugural run.  Please pass it around to your friends and coworkers, post it on your blogs, facebook, tweet it, send it to your mom. We know she'll love it.  You get the idea.  Spread it!

Many thanks to Brett Saul who endured my "fun" list of edits while cutting this video.  His handwork is much appreciated.
