Hey guys,

Event page: http://www.facebook.com/events/499496546747830/?fref=ts

I'm hosting an event with Piko Piko Detroit and All Hands Active! It is at All Hands Active! in Ann Arbor, MI (close to Detroit, but much cooler). We will be modding Gameboys, building an arcade (this is real lyfe), programming vidya games, and lots more! We've been having these local events relatively frequently, and they've been a big success. This time, we will have some chiptune performances as well by people from all over! You probably recognize some of these names:

Andarugo
Snesei
Hunterquin
The One Electronic
b4byf4c3

and more XD (maybe I'll bring my violin? who knows)

Anyways, if you're down, come hang out, listen to chiptunes, and enjoy the DIY experience with an awesome community big_smile

Will there be an open mic?  I've been meaning to visit a few of my Michagander friends and this would be a neat way to spend an evening.

THURSDAY CUSTOMS

Thursday customs will be at Modathon Extreme! He has volunteered to do a workshop on basic Gameboy modding, and will perform a short set! This will be from 4 to 5. In addition, he will be bringing lots of wares to sell!

Check out his website - http://www.thursdaycustoms.com/ - he is on the forefront of the Gameboy chiptune scene, and it will be an honor to have him!

Arcade building:
We will have an un-assembled cocktail arcade cabinet to put together and decorate, as well as the PC and monitor to install inside it - we might not have proper controllers for the beast yet, but with the machine nearly completed, and the software completed, I'll shoot the guys over at pianocade a message and see how we can put our hands on their goods wink

Video game developing:
We can work together on developing the Piko Piko Detroit video game I am working on, and/or games to play on the arcade machine, all the development tools will be available.

Where:
The DIY space All Hands Active! Lab cafe is next door for amazing coffee, and there are a plethora of restaurants around the area! Any out-of-towners are invited to crash at my place, hit me up.

When:
January 26th, 2013, given the world doesn't end before then.

An hour away isn't that close, and I wouldn't call it cooler. It's "hipper" I guess.
