ULTRACHIP
Sat 21st & Sun 22nd August 2010
#########

Ultrachip will be Scotland's first chiptune mini-festival, showcasing chip acts from Scotland, alongside national and international artists. Performances will take place on the Saturday and Sunday evenings. During Sunday there will be a series of workshops/discussions/demos/market/and art relating to chip/circuit bending and VJing. This is likely to be fairly informal (but awesome).

Ultrachip will take place in Edinburgh, at "The Forest" (http://www.theforest.org.uk), which is a DIY, not-for-profit volunteer run arts space (the building is an old church). This will form part of The Forest's 10th birthday celebrations.

Does anyone have any information about places to stay?

There are various hostels & hotels in the area, options to suit all budgets. However, the event corresponds with the Edinburgh Festival & the city will be insanely busy at that time. So I recommend, if you need to book accommodation, do it NOW. Seriously. Or find a sofa you can sleep on for maximum low-cost joy and fun.

I will be staying at http://www.budgetbackpackers.com/

It's the best hostel I've ever stayed in - the staff are friendly, the prices are good (from as little as £18 a night) and the rooms are clean.

I'm there for quite a few days but I've yet to book. If people would like to stay in the same room, rather than share with strangers, please put your name forward and we can get a room together!
