crazywanda: big thanks for the assist, much appreciated.
unknown8bit: Nothing chipmusic-related that I'm aware of by way of musical performances (although I could easily be underinformed), but the SxSW Film Festival is featuring a chipmusic documentary called Reformat The Planet, with screenings on the 8th, 10th, and 13th. I've edited this event entry with links to info about those screenings, and the trailer can be seen at: http://www.vimeo.com/665366

hey thanks for the info. i was already planning to see that doc after checking out the trailer a little bit ago (it was actually the catalyst for me going to sxswi in the first place!?) and my interactive badge gets me into the monday screening. i'm just bummed that i can't make the label showcase. hopefully something 8bp will percolate into the sf bay area sometime.

Congrats! Awesome to see 8bitpeoples representing at SXSW - unfortunately I'll be flying back to NYC for BarCampNYC3 before then.
