Thursday night, November 20, 2008. I think it was our best performance evah! Lots of smiles, laughs, and bopping due to our clinically proven rock formula (not available in stores.) Serious pr0px0rs go out to our IGC hosts who provided appropriate signage AND a bowl of hand sorted brown M&M’s, which were ceremoniously presented in a souvenir green ceramic bowl. Scott got to keep the empty bowl.

Due to family commitments, we’ve had to cancel our trip to DC to play at the MAGFest New Years Eve party. But you should still go! Looks like a lot of fun.

It says this on the MAGFest website. And we believe it because we read it on the Internet:
MAGFest is a video and computer gaming festival run by fans, for fans. It’s similar to most fan-based (anime, scifi, etc) conventions, but aims to be more of a laid-back video game party atmosphere. No huge dealer rooms here, but rather lots of fan art, film and music. The special guests tend to fit right in and socialize with the rest of the crowd. Game movies and cartoons are shown weekend-long. Lots of attendees set up games in their rooms and leave their door open to invite others inside.

Perhaps most importantly, MAGFest has a huge focus on game music — multiple concerts worth — filled with video game music tributes, some even with the original composers! On Friday and Saturday nights multiple bands perform on our main stage, and our ‘JamSpace’ is open 24 hours for collaborative music and special treats alike.

Love and silly hats,
Party Queen

Randy Buck, the Captains of the Chess Team’s godlike soundman, got laid off recently. Worst thing ever? Maybe, maybe not.

Looks like he spent the afternoon making amazing sound. I got this mix today from him, with a note that seemed kind of exuberant to me:
