We’ve always hung out with friends on Sundays at 20 GOTO 10 and this is the 2nd week of our MicroMusic podcast so I’ve decided to officially make Sundays the hang-out, drink beer and listen to music day. All are welcome, and if you want to DJ just shoot us an email. Every Sunday 3-6PM.
Hello people,
We now have a podcast that we do every sunday from 20 GOTO 10 by Starpause. Its a mix of micromusic and different trippy types of good jams. Subscribe by copy/pasting http://www.twentygoto10.com/blog/?feed=podcast into itunes or whatever you use or use this link.
This is the first attempt at getting this going so expect more stuff and better levels in our future episodes.
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.
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.
We now will have a limited number of screened ASCII-Art 20 GOTO 10 “hoodies” available for a short period of time. If you’d like to get one just drop by, they will be $35 and will be available to the general person starting Dec. 6th. Sorry I dont have a photo of them right now. I should have an online store up soon also of all the little kinds of things we have for sale.
Here’s a quick picture of the hoodie in action. They were screened by the folks at Ape Do Good here in San Francisco.
I haven’t really been using the blog yet. I’m sure no one really reads most blogs but someone said I should post to it.
First off, we’re putting in some kinda shelving system in so we can carry stuff like t-shirts, books, and other kinda things that people put together for shows, and possibly some things that we like and want to sell on consignment. I’ll probably put together a little online store too so what we have people can find out via the internets. It wont take up a bunch of space just a small area. Also, I gotta get around to putting up curtains in the back area and the stairs so that it looks a little more sweet inside.
The first shows we have lined up for next year I am actually really excited about. The first is an ANSI art show, something that should have been done years ago, but sadly was never done, and the entire artform is now extinct. Luckily we know some of the original people from the scene and they are down to have us show the world some work that has never been seen before. This is going to be a retrospective of sorts for art and artists whos credit is long over due, although a small show in a small unknown gallery is nowhere nearly enough. I’m really proud to be able to present this work because its the kind of art that I grew up with.
In February, the one year anniversary of 20 GOTO 10, the art from #buttes is taking over the gallery. I approached sam, the founder of sorts, explaining the idea of having a show, and he was definately down for it. I really cant describe in words what it is exactly that #buttes does, I guess the art is sort of a digital mixed media of ascii art, ansi art, irc bots, DDoS attacks, forum crapfloods and basically all forms of internet hilarity. Any time I see some more conventional artist painting pictures of boners, boobs and other sillyness, I can’t help but think, either they’re ripping off the internet chats or they just have no idea how behind the state of the art they really are. If it has to do with cockes, #buttes did it first.
How very exiciting. Our very own blog.
