Giant Animal Badminton needs your vote!

The second audacious act in Ann Arbor fest’s fundraising campaign is starting to form, and the best description is three words – giant animal badminton.  Fascinating and frightening.  It's got my vote.  If anything, the Ann Arbor people commit to their acts, as evidenced by the first one here.

AAFF also announced that OnStage.com has come on board, giving 2 bucks to the festival for each person that signs up on their website.  “OurStage has created a purely democratic platform to sort quality content from a sea of mediocrity online. Fans judge the best films, videos and music, to provide emerging artists with critical exposure and cash awards.”

It’s free to register.

Ann Arbor is fighting a move by the state to suspend their funding.  Check out the how's and why's here.

The AAFF is quickly becoming as creative as the films they're known for showing. I'm still voting for the 'Singing in the Rain' dance scene with supersoakers!
