Great on paper, questionable in execution.
Haha well I would prefer someone figures out something regular either in Wisconsin or Illinois. my town is pretty much dead center of Milwaukee and Chicago, about 40-50 minutes in opposite directions along the same highway.

guess its worth mentioning in here, 2 weeks from today there's a gig with me, 8cylinder & ccdm (plus 5 non-chip related acts) http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/7514/ … -esc-more/ some of you who havent come to chicago gigs before(and are over 21) should come out and say hello.. if this one goes well, guy booking it will do more gigs, probably not chip-only gigs though.. still, better than nothing

Yeah, wish I could go to the show. 
Maybe it would be worth setting up a recognizable chip show? Not necessarily a monthly or regular thing but something with a consistent label. I.e. pulsewave, 8static, toy company. I'd really like to play a show before summers out!

Just spitballin here but if it is difficult to find a venue for chip-only gigs, I suggest looking into/ contacting the Galloping Ghost arcade.
http://gallopingghostarcade.com/
Its the one of the largest arcades in America. I know they do rent out parties at night, it being an intense arcade and all I think booking a chip show wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world.
As a matter of fact this is where I first heard chiptune, Saskrotch played an amazing set and I fell in love with the music ever since.

yeah, we already know about them... a few major downsides as i understand it: they have no PA system (we'd have to find and supply one) & they have a per night rental fee... i think the bigger issue with doing all chip gigs in chicago is that there really isn't much market for it and the relatively small number of gigging artists here

Soooooo, I'm moving from Milwaukee, WI to Glasgow, Scotland in about two weeks. Since this never really happened, would any of you be interested in hanging out sometime? I dunno, get lunch, share music, mini golf? I'd just like to meet some of you in person before I move.

Big ol' chip music night happening in Milwaukee in March. I just remembered the unfulfilled aspirations of this thread and thought I'd post about it here first. Event details will be coming soon.

OH SHIT yes perfect let's bump this thread:
Chip show Feb 26 at Emporium. Featuring The Runaway Five (my band), Diode Milliampere, and Saskrotch.
https://facebook.com/therunawayfive
https://facebook.com/diodemilliamp
https://facebook.com/Saskrotch
FREE, even! 21+, though. Bring quarters. We're (at least, i'm) gonna be playing X-Men pre-show. *colossus roar*
I've been trying to get something like this together for a while, and here we go. First of many, I hope. I'm sick of playing for mp shows or whatever with a bunch of bands that sound nothing like us and didn't bring anybody, either. We've got a lot of new music coming out this year and I'm gonna try to smarten up. Plus I'm stoked to see saskrotch play.

Yeah, man! Between your show and this one ( http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/13450 … le-keaton/ ), the Lake Michigan shoreline is kicking it!
