Hey all, I'm just posting to mention that I'll be in New York City between December 30 and January 1st. If anyone in NYC or the area wishes to meet up, there's your chance. My hotel is actually in New Jersey, but I'll be spending most of my time in NYC.
I don't really expect anyone to really care that much (I don't even know if anyone at all in this community is in NYC), but I just thought I'd bring it up anyway, in case anyone is interested in organising some form of chiptune-themed social gathering. If enough people are interested, we could even take the opportunity to either have a live OHC session, make a collab, or something like that.
Chances are I'll be busy all three evenings, but I'll have time to kill during the afternoons.
Anyway, like I said I don't expect this to get much traction at all, but you never know~
It's not a bad idea to mention it, the way of the chiptunist is much like that of a lonely wolf... Hey, maybe there should be a FamiCon some day (hahaha I'm so funny)
It's a shame that traveling is so expensive... Because I would love to meet some people from these forums. Nobody lives in Sweden, except me and jsr. I actually have no clue what city does jsr live in...

New York City is still a thriving area for chiptunes, but most chiptune artists there are actually live Gameboy musicians... Same goes for Montreal, actually (and the scene is actually dying a little bit, with Toy Company being less and less active because the guy who started the whole operation is struggling to find new artists to take over from the retiring ones).
I'm all alone here in North Western USA. Most people I go to school with don't know the chiptune scene let alone what an NES is... Would be cool to meet some other people but considering the fact that I'm a teenager in highschool, travelling is out of the question.
