OH SHIT IT'S PACMAN JAMSPACE
The folks at MAGFest once again return to PAX East to give you a full weekend of music EXPLOSIONS OF AWESOMENESS. Can't get enough of the concerts on the main stage? Well the Jamspace features bands, chiptunes, DJs, and open mic jamming (with provided instruments, or bring your own) all weekend! If we're particularly impressed by your SUPER SLICK INSTRUMENTAL CHOPS, or you bring your own INSANELY SICK PERSONALLY OWNED INSTRUMENT, then you just might win free passes to MAGFest events. Our open jam times are usually focused on video game music, so start practicing your Chrono Trigger!

    Yeah, we can't stay open 24 hours a day like we do at MAGFest (SICK BURN).

    The convention center itself I think officially closes at 1am, so we'll keep the party going as long as we can.

    Man I loved brentalfloss and megaran at the 2012 one, keep hoping they'd return. Maybe next time. Also would be great if you could get NSP to make an appearance some year. I know they were at MAG fest but I can only really afford one big vacation a year. I will probably come hang out some point over the weekend

    Nick, we aren't taking the "Keith Apicary" NeoGeo out of the museum, but I think we could bring our spare. We took it to PAX-East either last year or the year before. I seem to recall a lot of people playing it.

    If you will be in town Thursday night, you should join us at a watering hole once we get the arcade set up.

    Woo Jamspace!

    We'll definitely be in there for a good chunk of the weekend.

    Also I'm currently in talks with 8bitx to look into streaming options for the live performances. I'll post details on that if and when we get things set in stone.

    I may be imagining things but I remember 2 rooms last year, that not happening this time around?

    @PurpleBek‌ Megaran will be doing a show in boston on 4/14. not as convenient as Jamspace but it might be an option.

  • NickTheNewbieNickTheNewbie Registered User regular
    There was a chipspace last year run by a different team, but I'm not sure if that's happening this year or not.

    Hey who's bringing their own instruments? Hopefully we'll see phoebe with her trumpet and jesse with his violin.

    Wasn't Hoodie running that? I haven't heard any mention of it for this year either way so I doubt it's happening. :(

    Actually it was being run by Boston 8bit and there IS a chipspace this year following the chipmusic in the jamspace.

    Hey Nick, Seth here. You're not going to have a projector and router in there are you? I can bring enough laptops to host some Artemis games..... ;)

    What a relief! I was getting worried by the lack of info.

    Hi seth! Now that you mention it, there most likely WILL be a projector! When you say router, do you actually need internet access, or do you just need an ethernet switch.

    MegaRan has mentioned that he will be performing in Jamspace on Sunday at 1:30pm.

    I'm planning on bringing my electric violin again, had a great time last year playing with people. Probably bring a few FX as well just to shake things up.
