goddamnit. The first local show I've seen, and it's 21+. How about postponing the show 6 months? ;D

"If you think getting midiNES is hard, listen to this bassline!"

"I heard you like delays, so I put some FX on this tune"

Possibly overheard during x|k's set

I almost laughed out loud when I saw x|k was playing.  Yup, that's a real good way to get people to show up to your show.  I'm sure a lot people would like to see him ;p

Shit, x|k is back?

Regardless of his business practices I'd still LOVE to see x|k live. Obviously doesn't justify his MO but he's made some great music over the years. I don't think I can find a bad release by him.

Dear SF,
Brace yourself. Glomag is a force to be reckoned with.

I emailed X|K and let him know I would be in attendance.
I added he should bring my MIDInes or monies.

I don't care which.

Of course. I have a lot of respect for everyone, including Chris.
Here is the email I sent him:

Hey Chris,
I saw you will be playing at A_RIVAL cd release at DNA lounge.
I will be attending the show, and if you could bring a MIDInes cart for me that would be rad!

See you at the show!

I plan on going out, having fun, buying merch and meeting local folks.
I just also wanted to give Chris a heads up.
Im sure he will be playing one live, and he recently sold 3 on ebay in the last month.
This let's me know 1. he has midines's or 2. he has the money to reimburse me.

Hoping to see some local faces ^_^

Well this is either a good idea or we won't see him play live for a long time, or ever again.
