@supercooleric — Another Fun Fun Fun Fest has come and gone. A wonderfully weird cocktail of nostalgia, hard rock, hip hop and indie pop fit for an iPod commercial, Fun Fun Fun Fest VI featured dust clouds, Ryan Gosling, bandanas, booty clapping and everything else you never knew you needed in a mid-sized music festival.

Below are some animated GIFs of a few of the acts I caught over the three-day weekend, including Active Child, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Purity Ring, MNDR, Austra, YACHT, Ty Segall, Passion Pit, The Joy Formidable, Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears, Grimes, T Bird and the Breaks, Big Freedia and Black Milk.

@ZackTeibloom Fresh off the press release:

FunFunFun Fest 2010: Jeff Bridges says it will be our best year yet!

We’re excited to reach out to you, our extended fff family, with some exciting news about FFF 2010:

• First off, FunFunFunFest.com recently underwent an ambush makeover. We’ve made a bunch of tweaks and enhancements and will continue to roll out additional goodies in the coming weeks.

• Secondly, we’re offering a very limited (and discounted) set of tickets starting July 4th. These special “insider” tickets will be the biggest bargain of any offering this year. Read the rest of this entry »

@ZackTeibloom I just want to give you free music. If you don’t like the contests we run, I’ll just win other music sites’ contests and then give you their prizes to. That’s right. I’m Robin Hood. We just gave away two tickets to Quiet Company on our Twitter account (@festivalcrasher) that we won in a costume contest for my 69 costume in 2006*.

Three things for you to do:

1.Beat @mattsilver in the trivia contest for 6 free albums going on until tomorrow at 5 p.m. central.

2 Enter the Free Fun Fun Fun fest passes contest. I’ve already entered thrice already and I have my pass, so when I win, they go to you. Treat it like a Halloween costume: think outside the box, have a theme and don’t just go for the sexy choice.

3. Enter the Fun Fun Fun Fest Scavenger hunt on Saturday. If you need help coming up with a team name or need assistance during the contest, don’t hesitate to ask me. I’m here for all your crashing needs. Read the rest of this entry »

@ZackTeibloom Fun Fun Fun Fest is doing an outstanding job hyping themselves up this year. Every day they’ve been posting an overwhelming amount of videos of their artists on Facebook and Twitter, hosting giveaways at venues and making it obvious the staff is as excited about the fest as I am*. Even better than the artist profiles is the contests they keep dropping on us. There are quick ones like making up a fake super-group to win a pair of tickets (I entered and if** I win, I’ll give y’all a pair.)

That contest is quick easy, but the scavenger hunt this Saturday looks like a blast whether you win or not. Check it out: Read the rest of this entry »

@ZackTeibloom Typically a schedule release is fraught with worry due to unfortunate overlaps, and Fun Fun Fun fest is no exception.
