92 reasons to come to Off the Grid (give or take)

Only three days remain 'til
Off the Grid
, the inaugural annual
GenWex
mega-party (we like to think of it as the jump-off). That got us thinking of everything that's going on that night. Here it is, OTG by the numbers:
* Local soul outfit
Nick Tolford and Company
* Three sets from Columbus's own
DJ Detox
* 90 minute set by Chicago mash-up artists
The Hood Internet
(let's call that 1.5 hours)
* Food from 14
Dine Originals Columbus
restaurants, including Tiramisu Panna Cotta "shooters" from Trattoria Roma, French country pate from The Refectory, gourmet mini s'mores from Due Amici, and much more
* Raffles for two airline tickets (they come in a pair!), two $100
Big Lots
gift cards (they don't), and a $100
Wexner Center Store
gift card
* A giant
Pong
game (we're counting that as two because of the controllers)
* A free
photo booth
(four, because there are four shots per sitting)
* Performance art vixens
Anna and the Annadroids
(five of ‘em)
* 36 host-committee members (and three sub-committees)
* We've been warming up (three pre-parties, two bar-crawls—if we're not ready by now…)
* A
mixtape
, to make sure that everyone's able to sing/dance along (8 tracks)
* Two cash bars
* The last chance to see the
Hard Targets
exhibition on the intersection between sport and art (four galleries)
*
Video
works by
Rainer!
(cameras, lights, projections, and
gobos
all over the place)
* Raising money for Wex
education programs
(they worked with tens of thousands of kids last year)
All that for only $40. But hurry:
tickets
are moving, and the price goes up to $50 day of event.
