Before I never come back to this thread I must straighten this out.
Since you keep disclosing confidential booking information at your own will, which BTW, it's very unprofessional,
The reason why Low-Gain never made it into the lineup was because he first asked for $300 , then $320 and then $400.
He changed his fee every single time we tried to make an agreement with him.

We had the money to book him, that wasn't the problem, but when an artist keeps changing his fee --every single time you try to close a deal with him-- it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence to book him.

PERIOD.

Peace out ChipMusic.org

lol.. dude thats because every fucking day you delayed on getting back to me the price of air fare goes up.
the first talks of $300 were simply an estimated cost of airfare.. typically it's around there. the second time was $320 because thats what it was when i check. and by i check again. prices went up to $380-400 to fly into JFK..

SO dont bitch to me that costs went up because you started booking acts 2 months before your god damn show.. thats not my problem
if you aren't prepared to pay for travel costs then you shouldn't be planning such a large scale show..

So for that bold statement you can kiss my hairy ass. Professionalism.. "i'm going to make the scene grow big, largest demo swap ever, the scene is in need of this large scale event" DONT PLAN LARGE SCALE SHOWS VIA A PUBLIC ONLINE MESSAGE BOARD !!!!

pull your fucking head out of the clouds and do a little research before you plan a show jack ass..
Blip fest gets planned a year in advance, you chose 2-3 months... blip fest draws 300-600 people each night... it's been happening for 4 years..
you expect to pull 1000 people just because you book a couple big names, make a shit flier and say it's for the good of the cause?

Dreaeaaammmmm.. dream dream dream dream.

Dont ever question my professionalism.

oh btw. b3tabot... just because this large scale event bombed doesn't mean you can't try to plan a smaller event..
Talk to the Tank.. see if they have the space available on that date. if you have people flying in already then shoot for quality not quantity.
get established.. rock that shiz nat..

gp2x, and psp sound like the best options.. why bother with anything else?
for real. every time a new handheld comes out it just distracts people from figuring out bugs on the current versions.
and working towards new ideas on existing versions.

At least you got your full travel expense paid for... I was told that $400 to cover a round trip ticket to NYC was too much... it's not my fault they were planning a show 2 months ahead of the show date.. and not 6... So apparently either your more performance was more valuable than mine or because you live further away that makes your ticket that much more worth paying for. wink


Take the time off and come to the states. play some shows, sell some merch.. make some money have some fun and quit bitching. At least you had travel expenses covered

if shelling out at least $100 for your main musical platform / medium is too much money you shouldn't be making music at all..

where has the world gone wrong where we expect to pay so little for so much.. >_<

Just finished up my second Universal Bend box.

The idea behind this box is that by simply wiring up to 24 points on a circuit bendable device (typically something like a drum machine, or like a casio sk-1) to a simple DB25 connector. You plug this bad boy in and you have all sorts of fun. :-D

I only plan to do a few of these pending the demand.
But there is still some experimenting to do.

Anyways. i wanted to show some recent pictures i took today.

So lets get this straight..


set times are 30 mins. and you have to tear down and set up in that time too?

I'm not sure how discussing the show's technical aspects is relevant in this thread.

E.S.C -  Performance schedule and set up / tear down instructions will be emailed to all artists in advance.
We'll have a system which will allow you to have as much time as you need to prepare.

= )

Also, I find it funny how the people who are worried the most about the show's technical aspects are people who are not even performing. Keep your pants on guys. If everything turns out well, we will try to have you on stage next year ......  or..... at another city......  ---- hint hint ----

= )


Well you almost booked me for the show and you never told me how long set times were..
One of the reasons i backed out.
My reason for asking... Simple. .lets say i wanted to fly out to see specific people perform.. i want to know how much of a set i'm going to see before i spend money to come see them. Blip fest was 30min set's with time in between acts.

Now lets say i'm a die hard fan of cTrix (which i am)... him playing 15mins vs 30mins is going to matter to me.

Down side to doing 30 min sets w/ no turn over time inbetween acts.. Do you have the ability to tell someone who is playing 5-10 mins longer than they should that need to stop?

By the end of the night. who ever is playing last or the last 2-3 acts might end up getting screwed.. You can say.. no this wont happen. but i promise you, it will..

It happened to me the last time i came out to NYC to perform. my 30min set got cut down to 3 songs because of over booking and people (one person in particular) performing 20mins longer than they should have and no one having the balls to cut them off...

SO... is my asking relevant. I think it is.. I want to know roughly how long i could expect to rock out to my fellow friends.

Guys,
As a scene, we will never be able to evolve if every single step of the way someone is over analyzing every detail of every project that is thrown in the open. We must keep an open mind. Specially when we are trying to expand.

- Granted. Not everyone uses Gameboys. However, besides the NES, Gameboy is the most recognizable piece of hardware that is used in our scene.

- Gameboys will be used on stage at the show.


... lol.. this just made my day.
