Oh, to live in LA and be in the center of it all. Every year there is a fantastic art exhibition called I Am 8-Bit that celebrates video game geekdom in all its beautiful glory. This year's opening was a few days ago, and from what I've read it was packed to the point of suffocation ^_^ It's refreshing to see that us video game nerds are doing more than sitting on couches glued to the TV; we are also sniffing paint fumes and making psychedelic interpretations of what we are playing!
