I design and sell custom suits, read 4-5 books a week, write whenever I have a free moment, and I'm currently (sometimes with the help of my agent,) trying to find a publisher for my first books which I'll simply describe as related to the history of menswear and culture, although that doesn't quite fit it.
I don't have much time to see friends or go out, but I have a stack of reference books that comes up to my waist so I'm not entirely without company.
I hear pretty much all of Mogadishu is a bit rough.
I didn't say he'd actually do it. Just that that's the perfect amount of time between songs... It's been standardized internationally.
You should only leave enough space between songs for Dee Dee Ramone to yell "1,2,3,4!"
Rip off obscure power-pop groups from the 80's that nobody on the Chip Music scene listens to....
oops.
Knife City is the hardest-working man in Chiptune. I think that guy plays three shows a week and packs them all out.
Luke deserves a medal for helming the cut-throat booking fiasco that is the Official Blip Festival Afterparty. Ian and I quit doing that after three years because the stress of people clamoring for a spot and the sudden explosion in 2009 of a million other independent unofficial events competing was too much for us to handle.
Luke = Champion
As one can see above, the attempt by a dozen different people to book shows around Blip Festival without each other's knowledge can lead to huge mess-ups. Both the official 2009 late-night after party and the Hexawe All-Stars shows had a much smaller crowd than expected because in 2009 there was a bigger independent show (pretty much an unofficial 4th day of the festival,) the next day that everyone wanted to go to and last year we had to push Hexawe back late in the week because so many other shows were booked in a trice as soon as the festival dates were mentioned. Hopefully the EINDBAAS show won't suffer for the same reasons. But I have complete faith in the organizers' ability.
Also, some bookers book the same artist for more than one show during Blip week, which I always find a bit unfair but apparently nobody else minds - in fact, our 2009 afterparty ended up with several repeat performers because after we'd booked them it turned out they'd booked other shows for themselves as well. We only solved the problem by insisting that they play very different sets.

Ten Thousand Old Men in Nursing Homes and Their Neglectful Families
Beat you to it on page two, friend:
Ten thousand free men and their families who never come to visit them anymore.
OR, you COULD still have it anyway, thereby doubling the number of open mics.
(i wanna hear people for more than 6 mins at a time!!!!)
OR, they could NOT have it and add another act to the bill. C'mon, one open mic is enough, right? 
The blip open mic night is usually a nice, casual, and pretty long event where lots of people get to play and there isn't a huge time pressure. I think having another open mic at the Eindbass show would just take up a half-hour that could be used for sound check or a full set.
