GOLD RUSH
DOVA
Wednesday September 21st, 2011, 6:30pm-8:30pm
Come down and share the highs and lows as DRIL scratches away their collective artist fee, one dollar at a time. In the lead up to The Drag, DRIL will prospect for kiosks and corner stores, exchanging their artist fees for the always popular scratch & win game: GOLD RUSH.
During The Drag, DRIL will present the performance GOLD RUSH, where they will scratch ticket after ticket as a dubious act of blind faith in an attempt to beat the odds. In a dark room, this game of chance will be displayed on a large screen, through an overhead projector allowing the audience to witness the live play by play action and outcome of each scratch and win.
