Saturday was our third annual Counter Culture Festival and it was quite the success. We had 35 vendors selling their wares between 4 and 8, followed by the Cheeky Monkey Sideshow, Belladonna the Belly Dancer, and six live bands. The place was PACKED and it seems like everyone sold well.

There was some drama, of course, as Dremo's started charging a cover at 8PM. We weren't happy about that, obviously, but what does Dremo's care? They're closing in a week. Anyway, we heard some fantastic little quotes from the manager justifying the cover and we just had to let it go. It's too bad too, I loved that place.

But, that aside, I think most people had fun and I'm in the process of putting together a little video from the show (UPDATE: Now with the final video):



We're officially homeless now - The DC Conspiracy and the Counter Culture Festival begins looking for a new place to host us starting next month. Hopefully we can find a place with the same combination of ambiance, size, and metro-accessibility that doesn't mind the fact that we bring in around twenty to thirty people once a month for a full night of eating and drinking and 500-1000 people once a year for more of the same.

Oh, and I had happy customers:
