Welcome to the running digest of everything that happens at True/False 2012, from biological events happening at a deep molecular level, through social/cultural interactions, on up to macrocosmic, cataclysmic, geophysical events.
Just kidding, but isn’t it crazy how mediated every cubic inch of this weekend is? Every local media outlet is on the case, generating great coverage from The Daily Tribune (read Pete Bland’s nice round-up of all the timeliest films playing this year, and Jill Renae Hicks’s breakdown of all the art on view), The Missourian (Ann Elise Taylor’s useful guide to the fest) Vox Magazine (check out Taylor Combs on Caoimhghin Ó Fraithile‘s installation at the MU Museum of Art), The Como Collective (Zac Early on last night’s Eastside Showcase: “the band beat the audience into submission”), and many more by the hour.
Meanwhile, on Twitter… Lotsa love for the six-foot popcorn pyramid:
is that a 6′ popcorn pyramid? yes. yes it is. @truefalse#tf2012twitpic.com/8qq41r

And it wouldn’t be Twitter without an exhaustion-update from an airport, this one from V/H/S‘s co-writer/producer Simon Barrett:
At LAX, waiting for my flight to #TF2012 for V/H/S’ second festival appearance. Didn’t sleep. Don’t feel tired, but my eyes keep closing?

And on that note…goodnight, friends. See you at Fest Digest No. 2!
