    12:00 noon – Surrealtime 2: 8-bit Demo Show with Andy Voss
    • Phoenix (MindCandy DVD, Hornet PC demo archive) returns to showcase the latest and greatest demos on Atari 8-bit, C64, Vic-20, ZX Spectrum, and more. New this year will be demos made on homebrew 8-bit hardware and the DTV joystick, delving a little into the “circuit bending” phenomenon.  You’ll be amazed by the visual effects and music that can be wrestled out of primitive hardware.
    1:00 p.m. – 2A03 Workshop :: Crash Course in FamiTracker with Baron Knoxburry
    • A one hour adventure through FamiTracker’s abilities to program the Nintendo Entertainment System’s 2a03 audio chip.  Baron Knoxburry shall expound upon the qualities and limitations of each voice, how to build instruments, explore all the effects commands, and try to maintain an open forum for discussion in the process.  And for anyone who thinks they know it all already — there will be a one hour competition starting 10 minutes before this workshop begins, so you can compete with the Baron of Knoxburry as he tries to teach a class! These fresh tracks, programmed within an hour, will be played back during the final 10 minutes so we can hear a variety of different styles.
