So, the other weekend I was up at my old college for a reunion of sorts, basically a weekend-long party my old dorm has been throwing each year since the 60's. On Friday night I was introduced to a current sophomore from the dorm named Joe. He was nice and welcoming and let me and some of my old alum friends hang out in his room for a while. I ran into him again on Saturday and we got to talk a bit more. He mentioned that he was into writing electronic music, and I shared that I was as well, so we threw on a couple of our respective tracks. He asked if I had a soundcloud, and I said that I didn't really update it, but that all my recent stuff was pretty much on "this website called battle of the bits." He replied, "wait, you're on battle of the bits? What's your username?" "xterm." "Dude... I'm Jophish!" *we collectively make an O_O face at one another for like 5 minutes*

Crazy! Worlds colliding, etc... Turns out we'd ohc'd together like 4-5 years ago. What a small, wonderful world :D \m/

And of course, our obligatory waffle pix (thanks to his skillful use of waffle iron technologies!):

That is so cool xterm!
Tell Jophish to get back here!

Speaking of random IRL BotB encounters, I met Stepfilter about 2 months ago at the Square Sounds chipmusic fest in Melbourne! We had both made tracks for Detroit X that made it onto the album; I made a dubstep track and he made a DnB track (which I recently covered for BotB's Decade).
