Posting power go!
For those that don't know (and rightly so), this is Kim, the chicka that was running around like a mofo trying to get the DJ setup running on Saturday night. (+1 sharkhat of awesome)
Firstly I would like to thank bLiND, Jade and QPA for not only putting up with a complete stranger telling them the going-ons, but also for bLiND and QPA learning the DJ setup in less then a hour (shoved up into our tiny room) and jumping on the roster in a heartbeat.
Originally the whole shenanigan was QPA. DJ Awesome and myself trying to finagle some time in the jamspace for game-related techno stuff (hell if I'm carrying all that equiptment for nothing). We were given a mere 15 minutes live each, so I dropped my slot for bLiND to pump his new remixes. Well worth it I do believe.
In the end it ended up being bLiND (30min), DJ Awesome (15min), QPA (15min), followed by No Carrier (who also did the NES visuals you saw all weekend!).
A thanks towards Escariot and EK for letting us practice during the starting concerts.
A huge friggen THANKS to all of you that enjoyed the impromtu DJ session there Saturday Night (and the chiptunes on Friday Night!). I'm glad some one out there enjoyed the electronic stuff on top of the amazing rocking-out bands. That's what Magfest is all about, Games and MUSIC. We all appreciate your feedback.
The vid of bLiND didn't turn out, but we have some really good photos coming as soon as they finish processing.

- QPAFrom this comes great news for next year, straight from the mouth of Dom:
Next year the Jamspace will be open again to be purely Jamspace. That means wandering in and Jamming out. So completly unscheduled stuff.
The Open-Mic will instead be hosted in a different location.
The Chiptunes and DJ session will be moving to the MAIN CONCERT HALL (After the main line concerts of course). So next year, we may actually be prepared! (bLiND, you gotta come back to play now ).
Later when we have timeslots and more info down for Magfest 8 I will be organizing the DJs and music makers for that portion of the night, so you'll be hearing from me.
And that is all that news I have to drop at the given moment. Thank you all for coming out and making Magfest 7 amazing as hell. I hope you all return for Magfest 8, we're gonna blow the roof off!
