Important:
Viva Vienna shuts down Church St. so the easiest way to get to Dominion from 123 is to turn on Lawyers Road and take a right on Ayr Hill Ave (about 1/4 mile down Lawyers). Stay on Ayr Hill until you come to the stop sign at Ayr Hill and Dominion. Turn left on Dominion and the Soundry is on the right... #316
The Counter Culture Festival is from 10am to 10pm
Hope to see you there!

1 p.m.
Pilesar (pronounced pie-LEE-zur) is a percussionist and songwriter who specializes in LO-FI 4-TRACK molestation. Instrumentation may include microphone, voice, toys, broken effects pedals, borrowed instruments, thrift store finds, tapes, and various environmental factors. As both a soloist and collaborator, Pilesar has released dozens of fiercely independent recordings on his DIY label, Chameleon Dish Archives. Many of those projects have also found a home on Soundclick.com and are free to download.

2 p.m.
Learn to Crochet with Erica Burns of the D.C. Craft Mafia. Participants will receive a washcloth or a small rosette they can turn into a brooch. Vanessa of NinnyCat Crochet and the D.C. Craft Mafia will be on hand to show you how easy it is!

3 p.m.
Jonah Knight
Jonah plays what he calls "alt-acoustic." It's almost all acoustic, but it's not what people think of when they think of folk. Folk has a more delicate quality to it.

4 p.m.
Gyotaku: printing with fish, with Anthony Dihle

5 p.m.
Rifle Recoil
A MASTER OF THE DELAY PEDALS. Jeff Kessel, a.k.a. Rifle Recoil, has a pretty intriguing approach to his music - he largely builds his tunes on delay pedals into a big, bold sound. Some would call it a wall of sound. The Arlington, Va.-based tunesmith pulls a lot out of his limited array of parts. Worth checking out are his immaculate one-man cover of the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell classic "All I Need" and the funky Prince-like original "Bad Girl."

6 p.m.
Embroidery with Erica Burns and Shayne of Novelty Kitten. Make your own embroidered plushie! Learn to hand embroider, stuff and hand sew a little plushie with members of the D.C. Craft Mafia.

7 p.m.
Geeks of Comedy
The Geek Comedy Tour is a collective of the funniest stand-up comedians from the Washington DC area. Each one is an experienced comic, having performed at bars, clubs, and colleges all over the East Coast. Telling their normal jokes to normal audiences but all of that was about to change.
There was something amiss. For you see, they were all gigantic dorks, and comedy club crowds don't fully appreciate jokes about comic books, anime, and video games. So, they've decided to let their freak flag fly, form together, and bring their geek jokes to the horde that needs them most. Since their formation two years ago, The Geek Comedy Tour has performed at a variety of venues, from anime conventions, college shows, and even the grand opening of a comic shop!

Auger displays his techniques to crafting art that shine day-glo under black lighting.

9 p.m.
Donald Keesing
Keesing was the singer and rhythm guitarist for Rain Crow in 1988/89 and Mink Ranch in 1990. He sang with the short-lived 1982 DC Punk band White Zombies (not to be confused with the very popular NY band with the singular version of that name). He is currently working with Randy Austin (Overkill -DC '76, Slim Jims, Graverobbers w/Karl Straub, Throwbacks...) Bob Young (Tru Fax & The Insaniacs) and CB (Martha Hull & The Steady Jobs) in a band called Dollar Bin.

Just did the test print for the new Fest shirts, and I'm happy to say that it was successful. These will be available at the CCF IV in just over a week from now, Sunday May 24th. Come out, bring your friends and support local artists. We will love you forever!
