/schedule/

Holy crap, we sold out of regular and MIT presale tickets. We just added four more to each category!

At this point, counting our speakers, staff/volunteers, and attendees, we could conceivably have to ask some folks to watch the compos in the overflow/snacking room because of the limits on occupancy in the main room.

If you’re planning to come, you probably should get your ticket now.

Right now, there are 15 at-door tickets available, and we will have to do some counting before we can up that, just so you know.

Rules updates!

1) Graphics compos
/competitions/graphics-compos/
The updates:
-We added XBIN to the ASCII/ANSI compo
-Oldskool pixel graphics compo added!

2) Music compos
/competitions/music-compos/
-You can submit a tune as long as you like, but we’re going to do preselection and we’ll only play 3:30 unless folks are really into it.

Metoikos will be speaking at the Together Festival, a free event, this Sunday in Boston.

Various demos will be among the items showing both on the giant LED screen on the front of the building and a large video screen inside, as well as at the talk.

Keith Bare of the CMU Computer Club (yes, the Warhol Amiga art guys) will be speaking at @party 2014 about the Vectrex and vector displays, a talk he will be preparing in collaboration with fellow CMUCCer Michael Dille.
