Millions of bubbles fly through the air as we converge in Times Sqauare for a magical bubble battle! Loosely based on the Dr. Seuss Classic The Butter Battle Book. Bring bubble toys, bubble generators, bubble solution, and plenty of AA batteries :) We will meet on the traffic island at W 43rd & Broadway, fill our weapons and pull the trigger!

9pm - Chiptunes Afterparty!
Bonus Level+++: chiptune dance party geekgasm
Sat June 21st, 9pm-dawn

An epic pixel-thumping, square-wave crunching, blip your face off wonderbash.

High-volume, low-bit hometown favorites Bit Shifter, Bubblyfish, Glomag, and Nullsleep wield their Gameboys and crank the BPM as we prepare to battle dawn with 8-bit jams, fancy footwork, and cheap power ups, with The Rev spinning us victorious to sunrise.

When you're not shaking your ass, beta test the world's largest 4-sided Lite-Brite before it heads to the Playa, step into your own ROMscape in our green screen room and watch the chroma magic happen on our enormous TV wall. With 8-bit inspirations by Posterchild, pixels and Pixelators by Jason Eppink, and multi-projector lumen-awesomeness by dr. light.

On June 21st, navigate the Mermaid Parade, find glory at the Bubble Battle, earn your Bonus Level.

Location TBA 24h prior
bonuslevel (at) jasoneppink.com
9p; $10 RSVP or in costume (think: NES punk, Gameboy glam, glitch pixel crunch)
18+; $15 at the door

Props to you guys for pulling off the NYC Bubble Battle. It was off the hook! I shot most of the Battle and edited it all up and I posted it on YouTube. I don't want to come off like a spammer, but please by all means check it out. It might make you smile as hard as we all did out there in Times Square. DaddyNDaMiddle is the name of the YouTube channel. I am unable to provide a direct link to it here, but do check out the 2008 NYC Bubble Battle. NewMindSpace, you guys are awesome!! Thanks for the memories!
