-starting the year off right with the TCTD awards: first chip performance absorbed in 2010 being Glomag's stunning Tom Jones cover, getting blindsided by Peter and getting talking into being the trophy girl, trashcanman making me giddy for the second time in 2 months, fucking w/ a drunk enso's emotions, Don Miller's death stares

-Toy Company VI: hanging with Rhinostrich, pak-0, starpause and xc3n for a few short but action packed hours, getting to rock the eff out on stage with pak-0 and xc3n, testing out my skweee starpause collab track at the 3AM open mic, soapdick, smoking pcp with and subsequently impregnating xc3n's sister

-July Pulsewave: sadnes debut!, getting to rock open mike with Peter Swimm, Natty and Paris blowing me away with their open mic track, kris keyser proving that the Guile Theme even goes well over open mic, 7oz. bottles of OE, fucking w/ a drunk enso's emotions

-First Rochester Chip show selling out after an hour proving that there's a chip scene closer to me than NYC, drinking Mickey's, seeing Starscream for the first time (wowza)

-great times in #hexawe

-Rad releases: SADNES "Filmy Head", r0773r b0u7d3r "Girlfight Vol.", George & Jonathan "The Best Music/Christmas", Jay Tholen "Control Me", Teleidofusion "Around Past, the gooch summer singles, everything AGM posted on soundcloud, Animal Style "Trechvent", khonnor remix of that iamamiwhoami's "u"

-I pushed myself forward really far musically this year: bleo finished three piggy tracks and released 2 of them (wonder if that acid rock remix contest will ever surface); shrimps wrote an EP, played Pulsewave, got the best logo ever designed by KEFF, made some people smile/laugh

Not a bad year at all!  And I got to do all that stuff without neglecting my family too much!  WOOOO!

I was pretty busy this year and didn't make many contributions or go to many shows but the biggest moments for me have been anything involving George and Jonathan and watching Chipocrite improve so much so quickly.  I hope to write more, play more, and hang out more.  Let's do it.

my proudest moment was being on Winterchip!
listening to other Ubik and Pause releases (and not being kicked off)

bookmarking ant1's bandcamp was a good thing to do
ilkae said he really liked n0de-claw and some people paid money for it

i refused a gig offer i suppose, that felt pretty amazing

edit: more importantly zan any of zat were ze other chiptune guys who were nice to me even when i am sort of a jerk. zat's shawnphase and disasterpeace and alex mauer and ilkae and c-jeff and probably others, along with everyone in #8brot and #botb on irc.esper.net. thanks

Either way, chip music didn't die in 2010, so their/his/her prophecy is still untrue
