Here's the deal, Blipfest is awesome. We know this

Blipfest 09 is approaching.

We're going.

All of the cool kids are going.

Live in the tri-state area and like chiptunes?

You're going.

Blipfest is in December.

Christmas is in December.

We're meeting for BLIPFEST in DECEMBER.

If you don't read the emailer, GET THE FUCK IN THERE.

(If you want to participate, that is.)

There will always be a Christmas next year, and if you don't feel like you know us enough to drop
a bit your shoestring budget, it's totally cool.

(Seriously.)

Come down and meet us anyway!

I'm also told that (the first?) community specific podcast might be in the works.

DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?

Hello again, fellow Dtoid New Yorkers, Dtoid NY is planning some big things for the fall and we don't want you miss out.

Here are some upcoming events for the Fall:

Capcom Fight Club: This Thursday, keep checking Dtoid NY for where this event will be taking place. There will be likely preview builds of Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Super Street Fighter 4 at the event. So, be ready for a fight.

Halloween Festivites: There will more than likely some Dtoid NY stuff going on that weekend. Check out our twitter for any update on what we might be up to that weekend. Anyone want to get some Dim Sum?

Blipfest: Dtoid NY's very special event, Dtoiders throughout North America will be coming to NY for the weekend of Dec 18-20. More news on the lineup will be coming soon and we will update you guys as soon as we get more info on this very special info. Fun times will be had.

Thanks for your support NY/NJ/CT, see you guys soon.

First off, I would like to thank Cactar Crush for taking time out of her schedule to help put this blog together. But, before we begin, I want to share something with you, the karaoke place that we went to had this song in its library.



You know the saying: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”? While they might not be able to fix your toilet, Dtoid NY’s most recent karaoke night at Gagopa Karaoke in Manhattan proved once again to be a rousing success! On August 21, 2009 community members from as far away as Tennessee, and as close as several blocks uptown came together to have their moment (or seven) in the spotlight, to meet new friends and to learn really awkward dance moves from robotic Korean CGI tweens.







While the NARP was initiated for Joe Burling's much-anticipated visit, he was unfortunately held captive by his job for the weekend. However, other special guests did more than just fill in for his absence: Riser Glen and Asian Joe (aka The Incredible Edible Egg) buzzed right in and did not miss a beat, literally. Such attendance and more importantly, the fact that 30 people came out for the event even though they had never heard of the site speaks highly of Dtoid NY’s ability to foster a close-knit community while also encouraging other Dtoid and non-Dtoid friends to join in on the fun.

Dtoid NY is celebrated for its singing prowess, it was no surprise that many rounds resulted in with scores of 95% or higher. But its not just the rewards that made this night particularly memorable: highlight performances included a group sing of Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” by PG/Keener/CasualWeaponry/Samit/ANOOB, N’Snyc’s “Bye, Bye, Bye” (Peter/Chelsea), “Forget about Dre”(Matt, etc.), and “Under the Sea” provided more reasons to drink as throats grew hoarse and more guests filled Room 4 with off-key chorus support!







. . . and with the shake of the last tambourine, our three-hour karaoke night ended far too soon. However, should a similar combination of booze, shirtless showboating and good spirits find its way back into NY for more karaoke carnage, make sure you clear your schedule: you don’t want to miss a chance to party with the Dtoid NY!

Also, Jeff Goldblum machine.






A WORKMENG APPEARS?

Unfortunately, Pulse Karaoke closes at 10:00 PM and an reservation at 9:00 would only give us the opportunity for 1 hour of singing. So, we decided to go back to the place where we had originally went to during NYCC, Gagopa Karaoke. The cost is 7 dollars per hour. The meeting place will be at the LIRR Waiting Room and we will meet at 8:00 PM. If you need someone to contact concerning the event, please contact this email address power.glove1@gmail.com if you need some contact info so that you are not left out of this event.

Dtoid NY once did a Karaoke session on the Saturday evening of the New York Comic Con with over 30 attendees. It was a great success for everyone involved. So, we have decided to bring it back for the Miggles and for anyone else that was unable to make the last one.

On Friday, we will be going to Pulse Karaoke. at 9:00 PM. We are planning to meet up with everyone at 8:00 PM at Penn Station.

On Saturday, we will be doing are usual random shenanigans. The suggested meetup time is around 2:00 PM at Penn Station.

If you need someone to contact for more additional info, please PM power-glove, post on our Facebook group as listed on our Sidebar, or comment below with any questions.

If you are coming to the Karaoke event, please tell us as soon as possible because we need to make reservations for a room and we need to know how many are coming.
