POLL! we're doing two new button types (dmg/nes style): featureless, one has a gloss finish, the other matte (complimentary to another project). i really do listen to you guys on this stuff, and these reapproaches were spurred from talking with a customer even, so get on this and contribute or else i'll pick and thats no fun

D&D Sluggers in wilmington would be the best to ask about this i'm thinking, they play shows regularly and have in other parts of the state.  so would know good venues and whatnot (i live in hickory, and if you're at all familiar with it you know its totally devoid of anything interesting, altogether).  there are also some anime/etc conventions in the state which have minimal chip presence now, i *think* inverse phase was just on a panel at Animazement in Raleigh discussing chip music in fact

people play up in asheville a lot.  nestrogen jumps to mind.  charlotte (and columbia, SC) have a pretty active nerdcore scene so there could be some overlap there.

there really are a few people to draw from, not to mention if we just reached out to SC, TN, VA, and GA folk too there would be a pretty great lineup potentially. 

the idea for an outdoor fest (with camping!) near the parkway/asheville/boone has been milling around in my head for the last couple years its just a crazy job but no doubt it would get a lot of support.  it'd make sense to do it either just before or after moogfest maybe in buncombe or yancey counties.  the locals would eat it up, there is a bunch of outdoor space, there is moogfest to bring some other people into the loop possibly.  its generated a lot of excitement in the area, thankfully.

where are you in NC?  we can do this PM style too, i think maybe this is getting too off topic for everyone's liking

edit -- also, I-95 and I-40 intersect in our state...  in a lot of ways re: transportation it'd be a nice fit.  hence all the drug trafficking in the state too, i suppose

there are dozens and dozens of people in this community, 99% of whom I've never met face to face, that I would call friend.  to different extents sure, and not in the same way as you could have a real life encounter, but seriously a lot of you all are really top notch people and its been a pleasure getting to meet most of you all (in whatever context).

going to shows is by far the best interaction though.  its overly-friendly sometimes to the point of being a bit embarrassing.  compliments and 'whats up's fly everywhere, you hear people geeking out left and right, it doesn't matter who you are or what you're doing there, everyone is there to simply soak up as much as possible of the thing for which they have a deeeeep passion.  its really a nice scene at the live shows i've been able to get to.

basically, i can't count 'friends' in the scene there are so many...  but, the people who aren't so friendly and generally not-my-cup-of-tea, i could give you a pretty short list.   so many friends, so few non-friends....  its a good reflection on a group of people

its also sort of funny, since there is such a strong online component to 'all this', when people try to figure out internet names and real names at the live shows.  i've talked to someone for a while at a show, only to find out after ~15 minutes we knew each other pretty well from online chatting too.  internet/RL collisions are just sort of interesting to me i guess

^ i've been quietly wondering the same thing
