Last night was the third annual Internet Cat Video Film Festival in Minneapolis. (previously, previouslier) This year's fest was curated by 2012 Golden Kitty award winner, Will Braden, of Henri fame.
In spite of a collapsed screen the event progressed without cat-astrophe.
Jack Klatt & the Cat Swingers provided music, and the magical Lil BUB made a special guest appearance.
In spite of fierce competition, 8 Signs of Addiction by Sho Ko took home the coveted Golden Kitty award.
For some lighthearted Friday entertainment, here is the entire playlist for the 2014 Internet Cat Video Film Festival.

I was there. Holy crap was it crowded. And two food trucks for what seemed like a bazillion people. I ended up taking a 15 minute walk up Hennepin for take out food, best decision of the night.
I thought the 2nd place finisher was better than the Golden Kitty winner.
I also think all Internet Cat Video Festivals should be required to show Ze Frank's Sad Cat Diaries.

It's disturbing how many of these I have already seen. What am I doing with my life?

Coffeehouse press is putting together a book (inspired by Carl Wilson and Let's Talk About Love) where various writers analyze our fascination with cat videos and what it says about our culture.

Those engineers have some placid cats. You wouldn't get very far with those adorable tinfoil headpieces with The Best Cat In The World Or At Least In Frowner's House.
