I know some people who run a non-profit that connects artists with charitable causes, and after talking with some of them they might be interested in helping set up a chiptunes event. They are really good at organizing and running events, so it might be a good way to have another Chicago area concert, bring in some good artists, help out a good cause, get the scene a little more established in illinois, and have someone else handle details.

Would any Chicago area (or midwest) chiptunes people be interested in such an event? Their non-profit is called "The Prop," and their site is <www.the-prop.org>

So here, is what I got from the people at the Prop:

The steps to running something like this with them include:

0. Choosing an artistic medium for the event (this one is obvious)

1. Getting a team together and thinking of a cause to support

2. Having that team interact with the team at The Prop to put together the logistics of the event (who/how/where) - they say they can help a bunch on getting logistics together

I saw a link to playpower (http://playpower.org/) on No Carrier's site, which I think is a legit cause that can bring in support, is easy to have people rally around - potentially easy to get people interested, and fits with our medium very well.

So - the question now is: who might be interested in getting stuff organized, and who is interested in playing? If you want to help get things organized, send me a message with your email and we can then take steps in getting a date and location set up. If you are just interested in playing, let me know that as well

Thanks

I'm always happy to help/play. Though a little light on the help end this semester as school + teaching is taking up a lot of my time. Still I'll try to stay in the loop and see what I can offer in the way of a helping hand.

I'm actually acquaintances with some of the people involved with Playpower! most of them are based here in San Diego so I can definitely help you guys out with contacting them if needed!

Given that it seems like everyone is hella busy, I am inclined to push the concert to something like May 20. would that be better for those of you who have less expendable time?
