There were parallel events happening all over the Diliman
campus, apart from Ethos Bathos Pathos at the Up Vargas museum, there was also
the interactive and multimedia exhibit curated by Pog Bartolome. It opened the
Project Bakawan Arts Fest last February 5 at the back of UP Film Institute.
There was also a radio program powered by WSK FM which also helped a great deal
in coming to fruition of Radyo Itim. Eric Callilan is the sound alchemist and
circuit bender while Merv Espina ½ of WSK is grieving and having a bad day with
the flue. It was a hodgepodge of indie publishers and small press expo starters
from Adam David and Chingbee Cruz of BLTX and the girls from Laguna, the
Cabinet, Seitan and Fiture took turns as guest-participants. Almost 180 degree
turn from moderating to being moderated by Pog Bartolome. The topics were
shuffled and randomized from zine production, translocal small presses,
hipsterism, literary experimentation, park gigs, cassette and records sharing,
piracy and open/free source software. The radio show was punctuated by long
elevator and drone music in between. It was essent9ially WSK but it aint broken
at all or it needed some fixing. It was a promise of coming with some more. The
day was capped off with a few rounds of drinks, youtube random playlist, giant
burgers and good old pepper sauce variants.
