Comments, Video and Photos from KindieFest 2009

KindieFest (then called StinkFest) on May 2, 2009, was a great time at the amazing Jalopy in Brooklyn. And people are talking about it, tweeting about it (under the old name and the new name), and posting photos and videos (links below).

One really interesting take on the day came from Panos Panay, founder of SonicBids (one of our sponsors).  His title — “Children’s Music Deserves Respect” — sums up his takeaway message, but the whole post is well worth reading.

Stefan Shepherd of Zooglobble.com appeared on the Promotion panel and has a typically thoughtful post about the day, focusing on three quotes from throughout the day and the showcase.

Liz from Cool Mom Picks just couldn’t wait to tell readers about some of the great acts she heard at the showcase.

Ann Torralba (“Little Miss Ann” to her legions of fans in Chicago) enjoyed her day too.

Some links to photos and videos follow.  There are a ton more on various Facebook profiles, but this should give you a good sense.

First, some video from Jeff Cohen, who also posted some pictures.

Be sure to check out all of Jeff’s videos, but here’s a song from final act Lunch Money:

Gwyneth from Gooney Bird Kids has a bunch of video too; here’s one highlight from Ralph’s World:

Gwyneth also posted some great pictures that I missed when first putting up this post; here they are.

Jeff from Out With The Kids has some video up and (in the comments) promises a recap tomorrow.  The videos are up here; here’s a song from Key Wilde & Mr Clarke, who won our SonicBids contest for a showcase slot:

We’re all still digesting the weekend and figuring out next steps.  But you’re at the right place to hear about those steps.  Follow us on Twitter, join our group on Facebook (both of those links are in the right-hand column), and keep an eye on KindieFest.com.  Thanks!
