The best I got is, when I was about 14, I was wandering around a crafts store with my friend, who fancied himself an artist. He handed me some stuff to hold, including a large spool of some kind of expensive thread. We walked around for a while and I forgot all about it.. And walked straight out of the store while stille holding it. About five blocks down the road, I suddenly realized I was still holding something I had blatently not paid for. Without really thinking about it, I just rushed right back to the store and explained everything. The nice lady behind the counter smiled and said she appreciated my honesty. A few minutes later, after my friend decided he wanted to actually pay for a few things, they gave him like a 50% discount because I had brought the spool back.

INCIDENTALLY, THE SPOOL COST $309. No, not really. But still, what goes around comes around, or something.

Right now, mine is some kind of ad for Microsoft. But more significantly, I had 2112 page views at the very moment I checked it. Neil Peart would be proud.

I too had a great time at my first Pulsewave, and I'm planning to get back up there for as many as I can. I really dug OK Ikumi's set. Also, playing open mic was a blast. Someone give Kris K a set at 8static, please.

I agree it is a problem. I've talked a little with NO CARRIER about this as well, back in December when I was offered a show at The Khyber (which also featured Ro-Bear and Animal Style and basically turned into me and Don booking and organizing the whole thing). It's easy to fall back on 8static, and none of us would want to interfere with its promotion or steady growth, but I think all of us certainly would love to play more shows, and I think more shows in general would help draw a larger crowd to ALL chip events in the area. There's definitely an interest; that Inquirer article in March made it seem like the Philly chip scene is a lot more than just one show a month, right? Why shouldn't it be?

Seems like some of the people trying to get a variety of shows in NYC, for example, are really working hard to find interesting places and not afraid to play on weeknights, etc. Maybe we haven't come up with enough good ideas for venues and opportunities in Philly. In my opinion, the best chip shows take place at all-ages, laid-back, relatively hands-off and open-minded places, which are unfortunately really difficult to find in, well, all of Pennsylvania, to be honest. Maybe it's like that everywhere, I don't know. But there have to be SOME ideas to consider. Danger Danger Gallery worked pretty well for the 8-bit Alliance Show, I thought. What did anyone else think?

Let's throw out some other ideas! Promoters in other areas, suggestions welcome!

Well, that was lovely. Everyone was ridiculous.

I too would like to make sure you received my submission. Thanks!

Fully aware of how stupid I am for not attending this. Maybe if I didn't have to wake up at like 7:30am for Too Many Games. Hope everyone is rocking the fuck out.
