Even if I'm refloating this old thread, I think it's a good way for me to hook back again to this community

We don't have events 'à la Blip', but we do different things like workshops and different live acts. In Barcelona there's a quite interesting scene too.
Same here, we live in the same city. We don't have very regular events with a lot of scene, but we're starting to build one, since Sergeeo with some friends started some kind of beautyful a periodic geek fest called Familiar Fest, where they bound micromusic and chiptune to another genres of experimental electronic music, noise, circuit bending and diy circuits workshops.
In the other hand I made a show in the city with another guy I found out in 8bc called SidBoy who also lives in the same city, then Sergeeo and I meet each other and teamed up to do things in and out the internet.
In the internets we made among other users of this community another collective (CulturaChip) aimed towards spanish and portuguese speakers to meet each other, collaborate, generate documentation in our languages. One of the things that happened beyond any profethy or expectations is that we found that out of there, there's more people doing this that we think, so we ended being a slow growing but solid community, with regular coming new users from our nearbies.
Another consequence was that we ended making a two days fest in a squat house with two nights of music of the users that had the chance to come and a sestlist to play, what also gave the opportunity to the most of them to put their tracks on the stage for the first time. We named it "Invasores de CulturaChip 1.0". We also made some workshops in this event, that works pretty well as spreading flyers with info to newcomers. After this we have another committed little fella that is learning his fists steps in LSDj.

+1 too, because if there's no scene yet, is your duty to put on one, otherwise don't complain. Experience tells me that the best way to make an scene is show up what you do. Some may think you're a weirdo, but there's always people that likes the sound, and maybe other ppl that already plays and makes music, that would like to learn how to do that. So make gigs, flyers, workshops, MAKE SOME NOISE AND THE REST WILL COME SOONER OR LATER
Edit: This wensday I'm doing another workshop (LSDj and beepola ths time) with this little fella named SinkaBeza, and another friend of him that we recruited in another little workshop explaining what is this called "micromusic" and "chiptune" and how it's done.
