Mock Camp: Summer Camp Music Festival May 27-30, 2010 Chillicothe, Illinois

The Summer Camp Music Festival was started in 2001 at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, IL. The first year’s attendance was approximately 1,000 people and hosted over 20 bands on 2 stages over the course of two days. Since that first year, the Summer Camp Music Festival has grown to more than 15,000 attendees and this year includes over 70 acts on five stages spread out over four days.

Down with Disease - Mock Show: EPIDEMIC NYE - Hyatt Regency 400 SE Second Avenue Miami, FL 33131

Q. Is the Mock Show still on?
A. Definately.

Q. Has the Mock Show switched locations?
A. Yes. We have moved to the Hyatt Regency Miami - 400 SE Second Avenue Miami, Florida 33131 inside the Jasmine & Hibiscus Rooms. The combined 7,000SQ of exhibition space is located on the Terrace Level of the hotel.

Q. Are my exisiting tickets to the previous location still good?
A. Absolutely.

Q. Why did the Mock Show decide to switch locations?
A. An investigation by county and state officials revealed that our former location, the EPIC Hotel, had installed a water filter powerful enough to remove chlorine from its city-supplied water - a move that unfortunately encouraged unbeknownst bacterial growth.

Scientists have discovered an outbreak of a rare pneumonia causing bacteria known as Legionnaire's Disease has been seemingly linked to the Epic Hotel. Samples taken from the property revealed chlorine levels were not high enough to prevent bacterial growth, according to an advisory issued to guests by the Miami-Dade County Health Department.

A large sink hole also recently formed near the Brickell Avenue bridge on Monday, December14th, forcing authorites to redirect traffic. The sink hole, in front of the Epic Hotel, is causing temporary street closures.

Mock Show is first and foremost concerned for the safety and well being of its attendees and exhibitors and acted immediately to procure a new location to assure the safety and security of our guests.



The Hyatt Regency Miami is conveniently within walking distance of the venue and will provide ample exhibition space for the Mock Show.

More information can be found on the Mock Show website.

Jon Lamb Unveils New Work

Artist: Jon Lamb
Title: "Twenty Ten"
Series: Miami NYE 2009
Technique/Medium: Giclee
Size: 12" x 21.5"
Stock: 210 gram textured fine art paper
Printer: Like Minded Productions
Press: Stylus 9880
Press Operator: Jonathan Lamb
Signed: Yes
Numbered: Yes
Edition: 75
Mock Show Cost: $30
Post Show Cost w/ shipping: $40
Anecdotes/Inspiration behind the work: Well I thought about Scot Campbell's NYE poster from the Madison Square Garden reunion concert, and it had a lunar pod returning to Earth. I took it to symbolize Phish returning to everyone. I think
now that we have them back, its time for blast off.

Anecdotes/Inspiration behind the work: There seem to be mixed reviews of the tune Time Turns Elastic but I really like it. The series is a journey through time of a mythical every woman who gets the best out of life involving herself in the art, music and scene of each decade. Caught in the stylistic artistic approaches of those time periods her true nature shines through, part sea creature (water being the bearer of all things emotional and creative ie: art, music, fashion), part cosmic Alien, part human flesh. Caught on "film" as it were every 30 years (3 of course being the magic number) in the 20s, the 50s, the 80s and lastly now leading into 2010.

Mock Show Artists Poll

Mock Show Artists were asked three questions:

(1) What’s your favorite work?
(2) If you weren’t an artist what would you be?
(3) Where do you see yourself and your art going?

Here’s how some of them answered…

Isadora Bullock

1. One of my recent favorites is a lino print commemorating the Tower Jam from IT. I had wanted to put that experience into a poster format since it happened and really enjoyed trying to interpret the sound and show into one image.

2. If I weren't an artist I would be a toymaker.

3. I have a lot of ideas for new projects that exist outside of the Phish realm at the moment, but its hard not to keep making new prints when they are playing so many shows.

Tim Ripley

1. My latest work is my favorite piece at any time.

2. An architect. I've always been fascinated by architecture and building things.

3. I see myself creating paintings that are a bit more "out there". I also expect to be creating more and more block prints and screen prints in the future.

Joshua Jacobs

1. For me, my Beatles work stands out. This is work that really opened the doors for me to be more than a graphic designer for corporate america. This was the first time someone had commissioned me to do some work annd was my first real organic design project and put me on the map as an artist. I will sets of this Beatles work for sale at the Mock Show.

2. I was actually signed up to go to culinary school but switched to art school at the last minute. I look to cook.

3. I am trying to push the fine art side of my career, but love branding and marketing so much I hope to be able to continue doing shows like this while working towards being an art director.

Uncle Ebeneezer

1. Any time someone says they enjoy what we've done, that is the highest honor someone can bestow. We hold deep admiration for Jim Pollock's talent and the inspired creativity of all the artists involved.

2. If we weren't artists we'd be a just a couple of people making art. Actually, that's what we are.

3. I see ourselves and our art going to Shoreline and the Gorge after Red Rocks. And wherever this Halloween festival takes us as well. Maybe Miami for New Years. We're gonna keep on having fun and hope you do as well.

Michael Ortiz

1. I like em all.

2. If I weren't an artist what would I be... Insane!

3. I see my art going in and out of the hands of interesting people

Lindsey Kuhn

1. The poster i just finished... Because it is done!

2. If I weren't an artists I'd be an astronaut.

3. I see my art going as far as it will go.

Jonathan Lamb

1. My favorite piece I have created is our "No Anunciar!" installation. It was not only our largest installation to date, but it was at Andenken Gallery in Denver. A gallery that Like Minded has been trying to show at for several years. So it really felt like accomplishing one of our longer term goals.

2. If I wasn't an artist, I would be a ski guide.

3. I see myself and Like Minded Productions growing into the music festival scene and into underground galleries in the larger urban areas of this country.
