The 2012 Festival was met with great praise, including a featured article in the Magazine "Hollywood Today":

Judging by the amount of activity on their boards and the info JimJesus dug up, I'm guessing it's gonna be a huge flop with like 10 people showing up.

So who's performing?

Herosonic.

This is Ben Stewart's band. You know, the guy who made those uber-batshit videos Kimactica and Esoteric agenda.

Steve Robertson
From Project Peace on Earth who thinks that if he hires musicians to play "sacred" music at "sacred" sites on earth, people will have a shift on consciousness and bring utopia. The dude is totally off his rocker. Just listen to the guy talking at last year's Media Festival.

Abby Martin
Used to work for the Russian State propaganda machine RussiaToday. Now she has her own crank alt-media outlet.

The Siren
Typical boring club DJ shit but she uses clips of people like Alex Jones in her songs.

Christina Tobin
She runs the Free and Equal debates no one watches on RussiaToday. Seriously, he's got these people who are not artists on this thing. Why?

Master Zero

Master-Zero was born from the ethers of the universe and has
existed through out time. Master-Zero is an Inter Dimensional
Being who views the world as we live in it. A Master of Zero,
a void, nothing. In that emptiness there is a place to be open
to everything. Master-Zero is a question of what is or isn't,
right or wrong, good or bad. A Voyeur of the human condition
and music is the portal into all those realities, it is the key to
unlock the door of this dimension...
MZero sings about what is present in the world of now. Electronic beats pulsate the rhythm and sub sonic bass tones
move the space. MZero gravitates to the electric guitar to
play and awaken the sirens of calling.
Human theatrics play a part of the story through movement
of dance and expression. Artful scenic designs along with
visual images projected as moving light creates a backdrop of
ambience to set up the story line of Mzero's Voyeuristic live
drama. The story remains the question and in that question is
the story

And if you were wondering; Yes, his music is as bad as his persona description.

"Comedian" and I use that term loosely. I cringe when I see him perform he's so bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i9MTDjbvwQ

Nick Garzilli
Thus guy, and I can't make this up, wants to make those vacuum transport tubes they use at banks and Costco for transferring money and checks, but for people. LA to New York in 45 minutes. And from reality to crazy in the blink of an eye. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51HbmuKhRbk

lel.

i have a feeling we're going to see the usual:

Little to no pictures of the audience. People claiming there was more than 2,000 people who showed (even though it only holds 2K.) The non-main events will be the usual people doing power point presentations to the already initiated. A couple of people in a park playing the bongos and handing out DVDs. Perhaps a dude with an acoustic guitar playing on a street corner as an "event"

Quote from JimJesus

108 current viewers on the live stream.

We're almost at critical mass.

When I went on, there were around 107 viewers as well, and 735 had looked at the page.

smallest crowd I've ever seen

OK, I've been digging for the last couple days and I can't find anything that shows that the ZMF happened anywhere in the world except Los Angeles. The website has a link to "events" but all I get is a form that allows me to make my own event but no information of any events outside of LA.

So it seems as though Zeitgeist Media Festival had about 500,000 7,000 600 45 attendees world wide.

Wow. Can you show us a link of this? How many people were there last year?

That's how many I've counted with the crowds from the stream at most and there's really no telling how many of those were the people performing. Last year I couldn't say. but the 2011 one had about 80 people at the LA event and there were some scattered events with only a handful of people.

Apparently, Abby Martin can count just as well as VOR can. "Hundreds of people there"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvsTY5dyLLE

What hundreds? How about you show a picture or a video frame where at least 100 people are present?

RT is such bullshit. I seriously don't get why people would listen to a state owned propaganda machine and believe it.

There was probably 546 people there. But who cares? We want to know how many people are paying for a ticket and being on the floor. Roadies, sound engineers, artists, event coordinaters aren't the ones we're counting. You can have 10,000 people putting on a show for 5 people like they do in North Korea, but only 5 people came, not 10,005.

You seriouly can't expect me to believe there was 550 ticket holding consert goers given the shots of the crowd.
