*READ ME FIRST!* The skinny, the low-down, the what's up:
The 2007 Atlanta Laptop Battles are finally upon us. All battles this year will be presented by Nophi Recordings and WREK 91.1 FM's "The Mobius".
The preliminaries will be held at Lenny's Bar on July 9 and August 13. The finals will be held at Lenny's as well on October 19. We are planning to do this in a similar way as it was done last year, with a few of our own ideas. The two preliminary matches will be open to anyone who wants to compete, with the final match involving only the top 4 from each preliminary. Contestants may be 18 or older, and all audience members MUST be over 21.
All that is required to compete is a laptop and a dream (aka, some way of making sound come out of this laptop). Even if you dont have a laptop but you really want to compete, let us know and we would be glad to work something out.
There will be 3 judges of at least fairly reputable status assigned to each battle. Judges will be focused on technical skill, audience response, creativity, stage presence, and quality of sound
As you can see, this is your chance to let the world hear what you have maybe only played over headphones. If you have a laptop and some way of making sounds with it, you owe it to yourself, and to your future adoring public, to come out of the basement and into the underground.
Sign up by posting your email address as a comment on this blog, clearly stating which battle(s) you intend to compete in. Once this is done, you will be added to the mailing list which will keep you abreast of all further instructions and details as they become available. There are no fees associated with signing up, competing is completely FREE.
