I. WANT. MY. MTV.

...the MTV that was so young it only had a stack of music videos to play, then let a staff of renegades fill in the gaps with animation, art breaks, experimental shorts and ID's. This combination became the visual and cultural barometer for a generation.

The landscape was new and the only glowing screen in our lives was a television. MTV looked and acted like nothing we'd ever seen before. Because at MTV, people didn't go to work, they went to play.

We invite you to join us for a night of frolic and folly, looking back at some of those who passed through that playground and where they are now.  What it was like to make art for a network that embraced creative exploration before and after our computers took over.

Hosted by the classy/classic MTV talents Toby Huss and Jim Turner (Randee of the Redwoods) and featuring the MTV work of: Bill Plympton, Todd Mueller (Psyop), Henry Selick, Mark Pellington, Abby Terkuhle, Todd St.John (Hunter Gatherer), Denis Leary, Jarl Olsen, Lena Beug, Dan Covert & Andre Andreev (Dresscode), Frank Olinsky, Pat Gorman, and Patti Rogoff (Creators of the MTV Logo), Brothers Quay, Marcy Brafman, Lisa Rubisch, Fred Seibert and so many more super talented people it's not even funny.

Now dust off those Doc Martens, put your ironic t-shirts on, and come out for a nostalgic night of what was new fueled with work and stories from those who were there, then.
