If you are into micromusic / toymod / mod tracking / 8-bit / videogame music, you should support the MicroMusic SF HQ and go to their launch party at Mighty on Thursday, Feb 7th. I’m personally into these kinda fun jams. Pretty reminiscent of old C64 demos.
This Thursday-Sunday are the last days for you to come see the ANSI exhibit if you haven’t gotten a chance to do so yet, and then its art history. After that, 20 GOTO 10 is back to business as usual. No more excessive publicity and ridiculously packed openings.
btw, i just got a facebook spam (the “check out my website, i have naked pictures there” kinda spam). all of you who ever praised the website for not having spam, you’re dumb, it just takes a small amount of time.
i ban all sushi from san francisco.
The valuation of these web 2.0 companies now are ridiculous. Facebook apps like Superwall being appraised at $10million is pretty ridiculous. Exponential growth, viral marketing, no real revenue, no profit? I never heard of that before; that didn’t just happen less than 10 years ago. I sort of remember a person who is known for being wrong all the time saying, well facebook is sort of different, they don’t look like geocities pages and they don’t have spam. I’ve since been wondering what to call these 124 application invites I get daily.
I declare war on contemporary burrito ideology brought here from afar.
War is declared on the following things: Super Burritos (if the regular burrito isn’t already awesome) shit a la mode is still shit amirite? Burritos without cilantro. Burritos with black beans. Partial blame on all burritos made after the 1989 earthquake. Taquerias with salsa bars. Taquerias without radishes. Any talk about burritos on Yelp. The fact that “Mom Is Cooking” closed down. Taquerias without whole jalepenos en escabeche. People who respond but did not have a burrito before 1989. Taquerias with more than one location (taco trucks excluded). Taquerias with too many choices of tortilla and beans. Taquerias with gimmicks such as ‘no rice on burritos’. Burritos on plates or without foil. People who ride fixed gear bikes but don’t own cars.
Burrito high-fives are given to the following things: Taquerias with jalepenos en escabeche, salsa, radishes directly available on all tables. Taquerias that serve tripas. Taquerias with arcade units inside. Taco trucks on international blvd in Oakland. Taquerias with beer+lady+soccer team posters on the walls. Corner stores that happen to also sell burritos. Taquerias in South City. Tortillas from La Tapatia. Carnitas sold by weight. Drive through liquor stores in 415/510/650. People eating tacos on the street.

theres probably more all over the place since all the nerds had nerd cameras.
Its ANSI art time this weekend, and we’re putting the final touches on the show so that it will be great for everyone. A lot of work went into this show from a lot of people with various expertise so I’m confident that everyone will really enjoy what we have to show you. I’d like to give a personal thanks to ACCRC for providing us with a bunch of LCD monitors. If you have old computer hardware you dont need, consider bringing it over to them in Berkeley, they can either put it to good use if its functional or break it down and recycle it.
Hi. The White-Out Opening went great even despite the rain and my horrible cold. I never think I have the Flu because most of the time people just over-exaggerate their common cold, but after 5 days of being sick I decided to read the actual symptoms of the Flu again as opposed to the common cold, and I guess I had the Flu. It should be gone soon. Good.
Anyways, I’m working a new new project building a small micro-controlled device that is capable of both audio and video for a target manufacturing cost of under $25 and I’m looking for some local electronic musicians who are interested in making some simple music for the things.
