If you're a fan of 8-bit and chiptune music, have we got a giveaway for you. We've got a pair of 4-day festival passes for Blip Festival in New York from December 4-7th valued at $120. Who all is playing at the Blip Festival? Well I'm glad you asked.

Personally, I'd be excited just to see Unicorn Dream Attack based on their name alone. Since this is a giveaway for something location-specific, we're lowering the threshold of entry on this one. In fact, all you have to do to win these tickets is post a comment on this entry stating why you deserve them. Then, on Friday, November 21st we'll choose a winner at random. It's that easy.

I work @ blip.tv and everyone is always asking me about how they get into the blip festival. I tell them I don't know, because I have nothing to do with that.

I'm also a theremin-playing glitch music nerd who studied music synthesis in college.

Despite all of this, I've never been to a blip festival.

Gimme gimme! :)

I don't deserve them. I'm just commenting because those names are sweet.

i went last year and it was fucking epic. best musical event i went to last year.

Anyway reason I really wanna go this year is to hangout with my very close friend who just moved to the city and I haven't seen him in forever. Also, I cream for chiptunes.

I deserve it because I accidentally overdrew my bank account buying a plane ticket for BlipFest a couple months ago and am still determined to go, even though I am unsure if I can even afford the festival pass in addition to being out of town for the week! That plane ticket isn't refundable, eh.
Also, I've missed the past 2 BFs and I can't let anything make me miss this one.

What say you?!
