Can’t wait for Blip Fest, eh?
Neither can I. This weekend is going to be legendary. People from all over the world are going to be congregating in New York City to experience four days of amazing Chip Music performances by musicians from all over the world. The festivities start this Thursday, as anyone with a pulse would know by now. However, it has come to my attention that there will also be a Pre-Blip Open Mic Chiptunes Show tomorrow night! The lead singer of my band and I will be doing some guitar/gameboy duets and there’s also a whole bunch of open mic regulars that are sure to please. It’s a FREE show if you present your BlipFest tickets at the door, and only $5 if you don’t. I can tell you’re all itching to get your Blip on anyway, so why wait?
Here’s the info:
