Dreamcast Day Notes

Wow. September is here. Ok. So, we are getting a step closer to our vision for 09-09-09. Here is the deal so far:

Daytime Streaming (throughout the entire day of 09-09-09 we’ll be streaming) but we are trying to take internet streaming and Dreamcast playing to a new level – You’ve seen us play the Dreamcast at our house before and frankly we need something more exciting, more challenging. So, we have cooked up a few new ideas… If you want hints, study the poorly scanned “Dreamcast Day” notes. Everything is being ironed out and will be posted in a day or two (at this point we are just finalizing the times). Basically, we’ll be streaming throughout the day at different times for chunks of an hour or so.
But trust us, if this works – it should prove to be pretty bizarre. 

We plan this to be the biggest Dreamcast Anniversary Party in the southern United States, if not the world. So, make sure you are a part of the action.

Go Bar (Athens, Ga Dreamcast party): Starting sometime after 8pm (eastern standard time) open to the general public, free, door prices. If you live anywhere close to Athens, Ga or know someone that does – tell them to be here!
At least 3 – 4 Dreamcast systems will be set up. Two projected against the walls: one inside the club, the other outside in the patio section). The other systems will be set up on televisions.
Internet streaming station. One Dreamcast will have our streaming camera set up to give people at home a chance to chat it up with everyone at the club. The camera will be positioned in a way so that everyone at home will see plenty of gaming.
Dreamcast Goodies – cookies, cakes, and more will be baked in the Dreamcast’s likeness will be there for munching on.
Door prizes – we are currently in talks with Play N Trade to offer Dreamcast related door prizes to all who attend (including a Dreamcast system).
Musical Performances by the Draemcast EP bands: Bicycles & Gravel, Captain #1, Gemini Cricket, Grey Milk, and I Have Read Other Books Besides The Catcher in the Rye.
DJing by DJ Other Voices, Other Rooms – he will spin a few video game inspired sets between performances and gaming competitions.
Dreamcast EPs – there will be plenty of Dreamcast EPs for people to pick up (it’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas).
Streaming Other Dreamcast Parties Station – a place to checkout some of the other Dreamcast parties going on around the world! (Hopefully – we’re still working on this one).

We’ll also be trying to document as much of the day as possible with digital cameras (video and still picture).
We are also working out ways to include many of the other Dreamcast events happening on September 9th as well. Be on the look-out for a new website design to help organize all the craziness.
