Intrigued! If one is unable to commit to the whole 28 hours, is it cool to stop by for 30-90 min? Will there be an estimate schedule for who’s performing at different times? Or a livestream?

IOSISdrone · 2024-01-19T04:26:04.494Z

Yup, one can come and go however they please throughout the event. Lots of folks bring sleeping backs and pillows and such and camp out for the duration, but folks also come and go, and there are chairs around the perimeter of the room for people to sit in.

The Drone will also be livestreamed here, and a proper schedule will be released in the next few days which will also be posted at that same link.

Nice. Congrats and thanks for helping to organize such a cool event!

IOSISdrone · 2024-01-19T14:24:14.982Z

For sure! Drone Not Drones is my favorite thing, full stop, and it’s a damn treat to be involved in making it happen.

This has got to be the coolest fucking thing I have ever heard

IOSISdrone · 2024-01-19T16:00:05.096Z

Yeah, it really is the best. Here are a few photos from last year that show the vibe of a roomful of folks hunkered down for the Drone.

Aaaah you’re playing with Joe Rainey?! That’s going to be great

IOSISdrone · 2024-01-25T20:53:24.099Z

Hell yeah, I’m really stoked to see what happens with our set.

Are you going to be there?

jatwo · 2024-01-26T02:16:13.691Z

There’s a small chance, but very likely not. 2 little ones make it hard to get out.

bellyfullofstars · 2024-01-28T05:28:25.807Z

Thank you for the livestream! There were so many beautiful sets over the weekend - r beny to Chuck Johnson + Cole Pulice was so stellar. Congrats on the event!

IOSISdrone · 2024-01-28T18:29:34.613Z

Yes! Thanks, and thank you for catching the stream, it makes us so happy to see folks enjoying the Drone from afar.

And yeah, that stretch from r beny through Cole was also a very strong highlight for me. Austin (r beny) came to town and played a small fundraiser show Thursday and crashed in my spare bedroom over the weekend; he’s a super warm and generous dude, and it was great having the chance to meet him and get to know him a bit through this as well. Chuck and Cole are also DND alumni and old friends, and it’s always so great to see them again for the event. So much of the magic of the event really is just in getting so many amazing artists together like this.

I’ll try and remember to share the audio here when we put it up into Bandcamp, and also the video when we get it up into YT.

And we ended up raising $11,500 on door alone for Doctor’s Without Borders, not including online donations from the stream and merch sales, which is something we’re all feeling super fucking proud of right now.

That’s awesome!! Wonderful that you got a chance to spend time with Austin/r beny throughout the weekend, too.

Chuck was a new discovery for me that made me wonder how I’d missed him before.
Cheers and thanks again!

Here’s a great writeup on the event, the author definitely got it.

It’s the ninth year of the 28-hour Drone Not Drones. If you want to a significant chunk of the show’s 65 artists, you’re spending the night.
