I was already getting Kenz to do the poster and banner, although I do like what Matrix came up with sneakily in the previous post. The Kenz style was associated with that period, and I'm kind of nostalgic for it :) And, more importantly, so is he. Mind you, that's some good 8-bit-alike work. Daaamn!

The line up is:

Seth Sternberger (definite)
Jeroen Tel (I asked him, it's not confirmed)
DJ Skitz @ Spitz

I'm sure that will grow a little, but only using people who were coming already, since I've got to keep this one within its budget.

Entry will be a tenner, which will hopefully not bankrupt anybody. Because tickets and lists are mostly being controlled by the venue, only actual event staff get freebies: currently that means me, Kenz, Skitz, Seth and Jeroen. And the C64 Mafia if they can do something :) And Boz if he does Perhaps-a-Doobie Live ;-) Obviously a Slay Radio stream would be cool. Perhaps a Z-show reunited :)

There will be definite CD releases at the event, but that will be clarified later on: they may be limited edition CDR releases though.

The main theme of this one is "Remixers Unite", so I'm hoping all remixers will be able to make it :)

OK, Kenz loved your work and as long as we keep the 8-bit style it should be koolio!! Now let's see the whole thing you slacker :)

Undeleted from the trash folder (lukily I hadn't emptied it yet). But, err, i'm really toe stepping here and it's a pet hate of mine. I appreciate the comment but i'm a big ole' believer in one designer per job. and it was only a 10 minute thing anyway just for the fun of it really. May bang it on a t-shirt for the event mind...

No, Kenz has completely backed off in awe: the floor's yours! Tell the truth, I think he was a bit relieved. "Chris", he said to me, "I'm relieved!! Don't make me work again!"

Now we need to shoehorn the details in there, and we're set, though I think maybe "Sid and the City" should be a lot smaller so we can put a fuckoff big "8-Bit Weapon" in there (perhaps we can borrow his logo).

Still waiting for confirmation from Jeroen: I've emailed him myself, but if we all prod, then we can get him to confirm faster so the poster can contain his genius :)

And we should put the C64 mafia in there somewhere! Even if not all of them make it, we can fill in ;-)

No, seriously, he wasn't in the least bit upset! Honest!! What you made us do was to consider the unapologetic "8-bit look" instead of the old look! Forget what happened with BIT Live 'n all that, no one else is lining up, and you've already produced something we only need to tweak to get it ready. Don't make me slave drive Kenz to reproduce your work :)

D'oh!! Someone tell the man to take "yes" for an answer!!!

Hehe, don't panic Matrix, your design is fantastic! I really love the demo-sceney feel to it - tis lovely. Perfect in fact. Plus it's great you pulled this off so quickly (oo-er) as it means my very-limited-at-the-moment creative juices can be used in other ways.

Well done that man! :D
