I kinda agree in a sense, not due to who played but just the set up of Blip 2012 didn't feel right to me. Seemed like it was just a social setting, this could be the venue change?

On the one hand, it had nothing to do with the venue. There was definitely starting to be a trend of people who just came to Blip to hang out rather than actually hear the music. It was kinda this "yearly pilgrimage" thing. Maybe even a sort of obligation. I was kinda shocked at how many people were not enthused about some of the acts that were playing. I know everyone has their own taste but I figured if you were paying $60+ for a 3 day pass you may as well want to get down to the music.

On the other hand, the sound at Gramercy was awful. At some points you couldn't hardly hear the music. And seats? What for?

But it's important to remember that this was not what caused Blip to go on hiatus. If the team could reasonably keep organizing it, they would. They've just hit a wall in terms of what they can handle. Maybe they made it look easy to organize each festival for the past what, 7 years? but it wasn't.

BRKfest WAS ridiculously fun, though. 

Some people's dreams may just include have stupid amounts of fun!

Blip was an epic thing and a ton of fun... but... well, that's just it! It was for fun! Playing Blip doesn't MAKE you prestigious! Most Blip artists got there because they had already made a splash in the scene!

That being said, the true goal of chip musicians should be fun, music or community! The more of those three things you have, the better the chip musician you are! THOSE are the things we should dream about!

It's also a nice dream to stand on a stage in NY and play your music to that many people and know they're into it for real

But your point is so true as well It's important to dream about making an impact
