Drive Invasion’s supa dupa website
August 28th, 2007 by Mosi Reeves in Random BitsWhen Drive-Invasion 2007 revs up at the Starlight Six Drive-In from Saturday-Sunday, Sept. 1-2, I probably won’t be there. I don’t have anything against it … just not my thing. Besides, I’d rather see Billy Childish at the Decatur Book Festival.
But I have to admit that the Drive-Invasion website is impressive. The launch page is a Shockwave animation that lights up Drive-Invasion’s logo like an electric billboard. Click on the music page, and then the bands’ tabs (which include rockabilly legend the Blasters as well as local heroes like Tiger! Tiger! and the Woggles), and each band name turns into a photo as a short description floats above it. The movie page is even better: As you click on the tab for each flick, a short snippet from the movie’s trailer begins to play. Neat!
Other goodies include a game where you can drive a hot rod over a bunch of cars like Evel Knievel. I’d love to know who designed the Drive-Invasion 2007 website … it’s on some next-level shit.

I regret to say that Billy Childish has canceled his US trip due to illness. I’m as gutted as the rest of you. Billy apologizes to all his fans and promises to do something else later.
He does want the private view of his art exhibition to go on, on his behalf. So Vinson Gallery invites everyone to the ILL BILLY CHILDISH GET-WELL PARTY & OPENING RECEPTION FOR “THEE BILLY CHILDISH SHOW” - an exhibition of prints & books, this Thursday, Aug 30, 6-9 PM. The gallery will be open all weekend for the AJC Decatur Book Festival and the Billy Childish exhibition will continue through Sep 23.

Thanks for the update, Shawn. I guess I have no excuse for not attending Drive Invasion 2007 now…
