cutting-edge multimedia show coming to the Segway June 12. WMD will entertain the pants 
off you while educating about the dangers of concentrated ownership of the 
media, and raise funds for independent media producers and promoting truth 
in newscasting.

Building on the momentum of last year’s sold-out show, which helped galvanize 
resistance to the FCC’s sellout on restrictions on media ownership, WMD 
will kick off with a showing of Amy Goodman’s “Independent Media in a Time of 
War” at 8:30.  

After this screening, WMD will present an action-packed roster of headline 
bands, media art shows, standup comedy, art installations and interactive 
activities.  Music will be heard on two stages.  Headlining the main stage 
will be local favorites Clinton Fearon and the Boogie Brown Band, indy 
rockers The Bond, and Seattle Weekly Music Award winners nu Soltribe.  

Boxcar will emcee and contribute standup comedy.  Speakers will be drawn from the 
alternative press and broadcast media, including Geov Parrish (Eat the 
State, Seattle Weekly), Mahdy Maaweel (Somalisan TV), talk show host Mike 
McCormick, Daniel Hannah, Jonathan Lawson, and more.
 Art installations will feature work by Steve Anderson, Josh Brown, Larry 
Neilson, Jessica X, Paul Luksch, Sara Kavage, Pope Phabulous, Michael 
Kasena, and many others. An open mic and poetry program is planned on the back 
stage, along with unplugged performers. DJ ShapeShifter will provide 
additional music for dancing from the deejay stage.  

Beverages will be available at this 21-and-over event.
