Upcoming 88 on 8/8/08: BOADRUM
posted by on July 15 at 12:19 PM
On 8/8/08, 88 drummers will play at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It’s the 88 Boadrum and it’s headed up by Japan’s Boredoms. 88 drummers playing at once. Probably for 88 minutes. They have asked me to be one of them and I can’t wait. (Boredoms see Seattle - here.)
As a drummer, it’s hugely exciting. It’s like if you were really REALLY into the yellow Teletubbie (Laa-Laa) and you were asked to participate in a Laa-Laa convention where there were going to be 88 other Laa-Laa’s. Or if you were a necrophiliac, this would be like being given a stadium-sized morgue.
The organizers of 88 Boadrum have asked me my shoe size and my t-shirt size. I’m interested to find out why they need my shoe size.
Here is a Viva-Radio interview with footage of EYE from Boredoms on last year’s 77 drummer event in Brooklyn on 7/7. He conducts the drummers with different colored polls. He also talks about his 7-guitar tower:

shoe size is the best indicator about your dick.
Be careful down there
Trent don't wanna work
He just want to bang on his drum all day
Dude, Trent, this rules! I feel soooo excited for you, what an honor!
Hopefully I will be able to find a way down there to see the madness you are about to partake in!
Beat some ass down there, Trent. Finally saw you play this weekend in Weseattle. I had no idea.
And hey, I have tiny feet... :(
Don't let it go to your head stud!
77 drummers in nyc was heavily promoted by nike. you might be getting some exclusive dunks!
they prolly wanted to know your shoe size so they can give you a promo pair of dave weckl drumming shoes by vic firth. ;)
This event is sponsored by Nike. You're probably going to get a sweet pair of limited edition 88boardrum shoes and apparently they're going to have shirts there that are going to be hand silkscreened. Well, that's what pitchfork is saying anyway.
I didn't see any info on LACMA's site. When on the 8th and where at LACMA is it happening?
it's happening at the La Brea Tar Pits at 8:08pm. There seems to be confusion, however, as to whether Eye will actually be leading the LA event. Anyone know for sure?
this is sponsored by nike. you'll be an advertisement. welcome to the real world.
