We’re on day five of the The Northside Festival, and it’s been a blast. The Northside Festival, if you’re new to town, is a huge celebration of art, music and innovation — think SXSW, just in Brooklyn. Tickets are still available, or you can hit up some of the free events.
The festival features a dizzying array of tech speakers, including some bigwigs from companies like Amazon, GE, Paypal and Samsung, alongside up-and-comers from younger companies like Kit and Ace, Artsy, betaworks, Hello Alfred and a ton of others. You can find a full list here — just be prepared to scroll for a half an hour.
With the festival spread out across large swaths of Brooklyn, it’s hard to stay on top of everything that's going. So, we turned to our trusty Twitter account and dug through about a million tweets to see what people were saying about #nside.
Some of our favorites: Lufthansa is exploring how virtual reality can be used on their flights. As cool as that is, it’s a little too close to Inception not to also be creepy — but leave it to the Germans to blur that line.
Speaking of blurring a line, we think it's awesome that the makers of period-proof underwear Thinx's mannequin Assley is getting a little action at the festival.
Without further ado, here are some of our favorite tweets from the Northside Festival so far. Oh, and don’t worry, we had no idea who Diarrhea Planet is either — though apparently everyone on Twitter is a huge fan.
