So, anyone in London fancy having me stay over for the night? I can bring a sleeping bag, would just need floorspace! Drinks can be provided in exchange!

Its really nice that you are in London
To explain:
I do take these 'nothing happens in London' comments quite personally, since I love deeply 8bit, and my city and so have hosted a number of gigs with great musicians here myself. Other people organise things too, and theres been several shows every year for 11 years at least. I don't know where people get the idea that nothing happens in London - it is surely one of the most active European cities....and now we have another *great* event coming up! Its sure to be a very busy and loud party \o/
REALLY?
Cos i've been completely missing whatever you've been organising.
How/ Where do you advertise these events?
I've actually just signed up to here to ask you this.
-EDIT: ok, so i'm looking at this forum, and theres crap loads of stuff i missed. WHY WHY WHY was this stuff not shoved in my face on facebook? D: BLAH. Please advertise MOAR AND HARDER. I would have been shaking my ass at so many events if i'd known... /edit
Last chip thing happened round here worth going to that i found out about was Sabrepulse playing in Camden. Which was boss.
I was the nutter dancing at the front.
To whoever organised this:
~PLEASE~ give me(+the rest of london) more advance notice of chip gigs in future. I am now scrambling to book train tickets back to London so i can be there >.< LOVE YOU THOUGH! SO SO SO SO SO MUCH! Just need to find someone to go with D';

You should go on tour with this lineup, and just hit all the sketchy neighborhoods in the cities you go to.
Actually, please don't. I like you guys better alive

The world doesn't revolve around Facebook.
Events are usually posted in Resident Advisor and other similar websites that host events.
Forums like this get the news.
There's flyers and posters spread around the city usually when events like this happen.
Artists spread the news about their gigs on their Facebooks,Twitters, Myspaces, Websites and whatnot.
This event has been promoted in all these ways and has been organized real fast. It is indeed KIND OF short notice but not THAT short, there's still TWO more full weeks (and one day) ahead of us before it happens.
So all the 'problems' you seem to have appear to be only of your fabrication.
Now, to come here and talk to a scene stalwart like gwEm questioning his promotion methods in the tone you did is downright cheeky, sorry. You shouldn't have done that.

You are totally right. Apologies, plz don't hate me, did not mean to sound like a biiiiatch, tone of typing fail.
I am genuinely distressed that i missed 8 bit vomit and "A Music Club" D';
I live in SE London, and travel up north every few weeks for shows because those guys promote their stuff so damn well! It's always right in my face! Splattered all over the internet. Can't miss it. Even when they wondered down here a few weeks back .So promoted! So organised! Not just promoted by the artists, but by a central body, so you don't need to be subscribed to the specific artists.
gwEm is not the problem and i'm sorry if i implied that he was. He's clearly a lovely, dedicated guy. I do actually want to know where he promotes stuff
I'm an average person who wants to go to shows. I need to know about the BEST PLACE to hear about... London... STUFF! Please!
I'm all over some chip FB's/Twitters. (How i saw this)
The fact that Analog Attack is happening is killing me with excitement. Though i'm confused that it's free. Wonderfully confused.
OMGZOMGZ Homesweet will play something from 5d RIGHHHTT? SO COOL >.<
Again apologies.
Hope to see you in 2 weeksish *explodes*
+++ WIll the order of play be as listed on the flyer, (Matt first JDDE3J headlining?)?
I can't stay till 2 
WISH I COULD. stupid busy life. *stress*

Just a quick note on the subject -- promotion takes much, much, much, much, much, much more effort than you would think. Even strictly talking about online promotion -- for all of the ways the internet helps you (relatively easy to get word out, social networks help things to spread), it can also work against you (the internet is hueg liek xbox and it is very easy for your own publicity efforts to get buried or lost among all the other noise and clamor). Chipmusic gigs tend to be extremely D.I.Y. and as a function of that, for any given gig you're generally talking about an organizational team of a size somewhere in the range of 1 person, so there is no "central body" to exclusively manage promotion & publicity. The downside of all of this: event organizers probably don't always reach all people who might be interested in these kinds of gigs. The upside: welcome to the underground, the underground is fucking cool.

What guys are you talking about? I don't understand.
Also: this is an 'underground' movement and as such will not enjoy the exposure of more commercial shit I suppose.

I don't know the order of play yet but JDDJ3J is indeed headlining. I'll post it when I know it.

Now, you shouldn't be talking about our private life in public, Shiftey.
