The scene lives on anyway (or does it?1?!)

Lol ++ !!   I know you are only joking, but reality check here in case anyone forgot.  The "scene", or so called chip-scene has been around since the early 80's, certainly on C64. (eg. http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/view … amp;zoom=1  or  http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=16767)  Cracks had cool tunes on them aaaallll the time.  Demoparties and copy-parties were the popular outlet for such tunes and releases years before the big concert phenomenon that has sprung up in the last decade.  I guess the only difference is that there are now options to play tracks live - although DJ'ing C64's and the like has always existed.  At the end of the day, the core chipscene has always been about the tunes being spread by floppy (1980's) / BBS (1990's) / Internet (2000's) and the community hanging out via cracktro shouts / diskmags / BBS / online / real-world.  I don't see this ending any time soon!

Thumbs up at B-bot for having a shot at putting on a show and taking the chance. Crap that it didn't work out.  At least it has given us all all a glimpse of the possibility of a bigger summer show.  Don't get me wrong - I love Blip - but that snow is f**king cold. 

Let us hope this whole situation transpired for a reason.  Will we see something else to happen in it's place...?  I haven't ruled out jumping on a plane just yet as long as the flights stay under $1500.

On a different note, I hope to attend PDF's "New Chip-Con" and hope others attend.

I live in Paris - France !

Another question:

What was so bad on this thread that made an entire venue/promoters so butthurt? As far as I know no one came out and said "Fuck you. You suck and I want you to eat my dick because you suck. Go die.", yet a select few are acting like *everyone* said those words exactly. Repeatedly.

I'll ask again: Is chip music always like this? I don't come from this side of the tracks.

incentives should work well esp. in this scene (for evidence check 8static and blip09's kickstarter), so this is probably a good idea if you want to encourage pre-sales

Hi guys,
Yeah, we got a couple of ideas....
Actually lots of them....

However, I think people instead of looking for incentives to buy a ticket in advance, they should just stop for a second and take a look of the magnitude of this event.... , then ask yourself if you would like this kind of event to have sequels....

The success of this event and many others to come ( if this one works out ) depends DIRECTLY on how many people show up to this.

There's several fellow promoters, musicians and visualists who are already asking me how to get in on the one for next year when we haven't even made any plans yet . I keep telling them that we have to wait and see how this turns out because if the fans don't show up, then the scene isn't ready for an event of this size yet.

ITS UP TO YOU TO DECIDE HOW BIG THIS GETS.
ME, PFFP, RobotHighFive & JC are just 4 individuals who are giving you a chance to do it.
Show your support by purchasing a ticket in advance... , and bring NEW FANS with you.

Some people performing in the show have a bunch of surprises in store for the fans and I hope everyone has a good time.

Thanks guys.
