Scam School Takes On San Francisco Yet Again

November 11th, 2010 at 03:52 by Jackie Talbott in Live Events

Brian Brushwood and the Scam School team are making their way back to San Francisco for even more magic and tricks in the bar and on the street! We’ll be shooting episodes that we want YOU to star in, so come out with us Friday night and Saturday afternoon! What’s better than getting scammed on national internet television? Not a whole lot! Here are the details:

Friday we’ll be at the famed Lefty O’Douls, located in the heart of Union Square, San Francisco. They have a full bar and baseball-oriented decor suffocating the walls.

Friday, Nov. 12th from 5-10 PM at Lefty O’Doul’s
333 Geary St
(between Mason St & Powell St)
San Francisco , CA 94102
(415) 982-8900

Saturday we’ll be crossing the pond and heading to Hotsy Totsy Club in Albany – a known favorite of the Hak5 crew! Perhaps a spotting in the wild?

Saturday, Nov. 13th from 12-5 PM at Hotsy Totsy Club
601 San Pablo Ave
(between Garfield Ave & Clay St)
Albany , CA 94706
(510) 526-5986

So come hang out with us, and try your shot at a chance to be on Scam School. We’ll buy you a beer… if you can beat the master scammer, of course!


Revision3 Presents…Frightened Rabbit

August 26th, 2010 at 01:07 by Ryan Vance in Live Events

Anyone who knows me knows that I love music. A lot. Music and new band discovery is a passion of mine and has been since I learned to hear. I’m also very aware that many of you, the Revision3 viewers, love music too and want to be exposed to new music. So, how can we help you out with that? Well we’re launching a special show today, the first live concert we’ve ever shot. The band is Scotland’s Frightened Rabbit and they’re one of my favorite bands, as well as the nicest guys you’re likely to meet. We hadn’t done a live concert shoot here at Revision3 (besides the crazy live Diggnation shoots, of course) but I have loved the band’s music for years. When the opportunity came up to shoot their acoustic set at San Francisco’s tiny Rickshaw Stop, we had to jump at it.

Everyone who worked on this shoot was doing it on a voluntary basis, giving up their evening to shoot the show. Josh Villegas, Graham Hancock, Michael Baca and Mauricio Balvanera brought their creative visual talents to the gig and we shot it all on digital SLRs and HDV cams. Mauricio directed and edited the shoot. We really wanted to achieve the feeling of being “at” the show. We wanted you, the audience, to get that feeling of being in a small venue with a band that’s on the rise, capturing that moment in time. I hope we accomplished that!

The next night, Frightened Rabbit played the sold out Fillmore here in SF (one of the best shows I’ve ever seen there) and have gone on to rock the Glastonbury and Lollapalooza festivals this summer.

I hope you’ll enjoy this show, give us your feedback (we love that), AND if this band is coming to your town, go see them live. Tweet about it, tell your friends, spread it around. Help us spread the word about this band and together let’s get some more great music out into the world!
