Venue closing at midnight or just the show?
(Wondering if i can somehow get there after Zelda symphony and catch the end of something) >.<

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 tongue
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! big_smile
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 hmm WISH I COULD. stupid busy life. *stress*

Well I dunno how it was until now, but I'll be sure to stirr some shit up big_smile

Its really nice that you are in London smile

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';
