January 7 Getting to Know You

I have not yet been to one of these events, and I must admit I cast a jaundiced eye on the premise. Other friends have gone to earlier events and liked them. So maybe I'm wrong, or maybe, more importantly, you will like this event. The organizers of Getting to Know You(Tube) have invited their friends Jovencio de la Paz, Marcus Estes and Shayla Hason, to select 10-15 minutes each of favorite shorts from YouTube, which they show tonight. It's social aesthetics presented on a big screen to a larger audience. The project was created by Portland social practice artists Crystal Baxley and Stefan Ransom, also responsible for Songs on Conceptual Art. There will be a brief question and answer with the presenters and the audience is invited to bring their own YouTube videos to share at the end as time permits.
