I will be spending July 16-18 at the Next Hope conference in NYC.

At the top of the todo list? 3 days of wall-to-wall talks by some of the worlds most recognized hackers, and digerati. Oh yeah, and 2 nights of blow-out concerts!

While I’m not spraying video on the walls of the Video Temple, I’ll most likely be found demoing kits and giving impromptu workshops in the Hacker Village’s rendition of Philly’s Hacktory.

Way too much info at the Hope website, so I’ll leave you to them…

I’ll be doing visuals all night for

OK Ikumi, Forest World, ComputeHer & 8 Bit weapon <– beat that!

And Enso is finally starting to promo some of his sweet flier work! Start collecting now & sell them on eBay in 15 years to send your kids to university!

The Weekend of October 9-11 is P A C K E D with must-hear goodness in Philly.

First is the VGXPO 5th Anniversary with myself, and the Philly Crew (plus a special set from the godfather of MAGFest in Baltimore)! There’s a rundown on the Fridaynight opening-event goodness on the VGXPO Blog.

Saturday night is the -O N E – Y E A R  – A N N I V E R S A R Y of  8STATIC!! and as if you were thinking about going to sleep…. The party continues down the street at PI LAM, with an all-night all-ages show to kill off any remaining chiptune-deprived. Anamanaguchi, minusbaby ENSO on projection, and DJ Billy W. of Kungfu Necktie’s Robotique fame (itself a recent 1-year institution).

If you’re not sleeping for those unaccounted-for 5 hours on Friday night, you may have time for Design Philly, Philadelphia Open Studios (POST) or Swap-o-rama-rama. hmmm.

For those of you who are still building up your arsinal for the weekend. I’ll be doing another DIY Microcontroller and Electronics workshop at the Hacktory THIS weekend (October 3rd). whew!

1st: the Ready Run exhibition opens at the Esther Klein Gallery on 3600 Market St. from 5-8PM.

2nd: Party moves to Studio 34 forSeptember 8Static!

I’ll have my latest Atari XEGS program “memscroll.xex”  running at EKG, where gallery goers can try their hand at flashing VBLANK visuals on a 1970’s TV. I’ll also be running the visuals booth all night at 8static with special effects requests for Lissajou, DOS goodness for Disasterpeace, and watching the  self generated video and music of Jeff “noteNdo” Donaldson.

Have I mentioned VGXPO yet??? yep. performing at the 2nd biggest geekfest in Philly next month.

Can’t get better than that. No Carrier, Animal Style, Dino of Cheap Dinosaurs Fame and myself will be doing a daylight demo at Vintage Computer festival 6.0 East this Saturday September 12th. we will also hve a display of our equipment and projects on site. I’ve been waiting FOREVER for this!

I’m breaking form this weekend and doing a not-chiptunes show with Phila/Jersey local: velvet crayon.

It’ll be a late night at the Tritone this Saturday. Should be more laid back than my usual shows – (translates as heavy feeeeeedback). I’m in the midst of completely re-designing the chip video output for my main two circuits. Hopefully they’ll be in for a testdrive at this show.

Come early & check out the other bands!

It’s starting to feel like Philly’s 8Static is here to stay. Originally setting out to be a single night of blippy goodness, 8Static is now a monthly regular at Studio34 with more new faces in the crowd every month.

I’m doing my first solo night of video in nearly a year, and pulling out another new system. I’ve been storming my way through some green monochrome goodness that comes from the 1977 chip8 language found on old RCA and ETI (RCA 1802 processor based) computer kits. 64×32 pixels of flickery fun, with 2 choices of color in each pixel: some or none.

April is a busy month, as I’ve also been preparing for a performance and workshop at Bent Festival 2009. More info to come…

Maybe only to people who live on the Island, but it’s good to see Pulsewave starting a new year in Manhattan.

This time the show is located on w. 45th St. near 8th ave.

Really looking forward to Chibi-tech! For those in the know, I’ve been working on the code side of both the Sega Genesis and the Atari XEGS (that’s a 6502 in a strange half computer/half game system marketing failure from 1987).  Now that I’ve gotten code onto the hardware, I’m working on a text preview from the XEGS for this show. I may take a breath from low level, & use some good wholesome PEEK & POKE action!

Should be a good night with NoteNdo covering the other half of video goodness.

Should be a great show. It’s fashion week in NYC, so expect a little extra 8bit flair!

This set as well as the Less than Three show will highlight my newest breadboard design with 2 controllers, and an audio input. i’ve also graduated to a pro video mixer this week, thanks to craigslist.

See you there!

No Carrier does it again… a beautiful ROM serving as flier for this saturday’s show!

For Animal Style’s set, I’ll be using my new audio-reactive circuit. Rock-solid output at 08.08.08 has prompted me to keep programming for this newest single chip hardware iteration. Perhaps a little old-fashioned laptop video for The Fearsome Sparrow and Data Dog. –only the next week of programming will tell.

More info on my new breadboard visual circuit to come!

<3 <3 <3 See you there!
