Open Your Eyes! Dream in the Insomnia Lounge

Mikaela says:
Wanna place to hang out?
Are you a gear-head, a moviemaker wannabe, a technical expert in constant search of more expertise?

Next week is your lucky week. The folks who are busting their asses to bring you the Duke City Shootout offer you a stunning side bonus:

The Insomnia Lounge, your very own tech haven.

You may run into the crews who just shot their wads on Shootout films (be gentle with them – they’ll be tired!), you may meet artists, poets, djs…

Let’s face it, this is the place where everyone who’s anyone will be – and you can come, too! Be witness to cool. Oh, and make your own movie! It may be a transformative experience. Hell, it may just cool you off.

And Albuquerque, because I know you’ll ask, yes, it’s free!

Cool. Where?		Hyatt Regency (the big iconic one downtown) Ballrooms A, B, C (above the atrium)
Tight. When?		See the official schedule below:
