Hey everybody, only 12 hours left until the party gets started!  We just wanted to let you know that Bond/360 has provided us with a 20 minute clip of a new documentary called 8 Bit Generation: The Commodore Wars.  The film documents the rise of Commodore and their underdog battle against IBM and Apple and how this shaped the computing and video game movement ingrained in our culture today.  We’ll play it at 5 PM on Saturday and it will be followed immediately by a VOIP call for Q&A with the producer and director.

We’re pleased to announce the Friday night concert – ‘Velvet:Live’.  This concert is organized in cooperation with the Artisan’s Asylum A/V Club and features live-controlled synth and sampler based house / acid / techno.

Musical Performers:
Andrew Carvey
Die Young
Rob Ticho vs. John Gonter

Fun Fact:  When I took the new graphics card out of the box I was so astounded by how heavy it was that I grabbed the closest thing at hand for a comparison.  So yes, just in case you were wondering, the new graphics card is heavier than a C=64.

Come to @party to witness the power of this fully upgraded and operational compomachine!
May the 4th be with you!
