LAST UPDATED 3 MARCH 2018 @3:26 PM EST

Ok, so it got approved! Yay!
It opens on the 29th of March and will stay up for 3-4 weeks.
It's at:
Babycastles
145 W 14th St.
New York, NY 10011

Let us figure everything out!

DESCRIPTION
As a refresher, this what we agreed on before, but we can change little bits of this:

"Glorious Trainwrecks"(name tentative) is a salon style group show curated by and featuring many members from the Glorious Trainwrecks community. The games will consist of games made for a specific Glorious Trainwrecks Babycastles game Jam and older games that have been submitted to the site over the years. Based on the amount of submissions, games will be shown on as many computers as possible. Based on submissions and computers available, some computers will have multiple games on them which will change by a timer. The amount of games shown will reflect the diversity of members on the website. There will be a computer/group of computers where people can make plingpling games that can also be shown in the gallery. The show will coincide with the release of a Glorious Trainwrecks CD/Zine that will be available.
WHAT WON'T BE ON THE FORM

Submit as many games as you'd like, but if something happens in regards to the launcher that we are going to make, we may need to have one game per person.

EVENTS
If we have any more events or specific things like that, we should all have ideas for things like this.
If any of you play music or anything like that and will be in the New York area when that is happening, please let us know!
Just throw out really crazy ideas for events too, like literally anything, brainstorm. :-)

1. a klik of the month klub

1. this will be a very inclusive, open to the public event
2. game engines like pling pling, flick game, klik n play, and more will be available on computers in the space
3. it should happen on a saturday and be 2 hours long
4. it should be fun and wacky, casual
5. people should post their games to glorious trainwrecks by the end of it
6. pirate kart

2. an opening event

ihavefivehat and I were talking about a comedy x music thing that could be in theme with the vibe of glorious trainwrecks
we were thinking of something kind of in the style of blue jam where the music selection is experiment is interspersed with comedy that is more in conversation with performance art to the extent where the comedy and music start and end right up next to one another very abruptly. There would be several short acts, 3-4, about 10-20 minutes each, over the course of the opening event, which would be from 8pm to 11pm and live streamed over the internet. These will be spaced out so to not distract from the instillation/games.

these are some possible people we were thinking of reaching out to soon

1. Lillyan
2. Harry
3. Lary Owens
4. dreamcrusher
5. this video isn't of his solo electric thing, but this is ihavefivehat's brother's band that he fronts
6. ???
7. we would like to have 3-4 comedians and 3-4 music acts and are looking for more suggestions

3. a closing event : talk/interviews

This is the least fleshed out as of right now, but I would like to reach out to Glorious Trainwrecks people to be interviewed at the closing.
these are all people we should try to reach out to to be interviewed or to interview

interviewees

Jeremy Penner

interviewers

1. Naomi Clark
2. Frank Lantz
3. Tim Rogers
4. Mattie Brice

again, all of these people haven't been asked yet, just spitballin',
please provide suggestions in the comments or on the discord!

PROMOTION
How will we promote these things?

Everyone can make a poster and submit it here,
Information that needs to be on the posters will be posted soon, hopefully tomorrow. 8-)

The adver-game jam will also be used as a promotional tactic. 8-)

NAME
Do we want to just do Glorious Trainwrecks X Babycastles?
I like that it could be pronounced "glorious trainwrecks cross babycastles" like "street fighter cross tekken"

Here are names we came up with so far: Glorious Trainwrecks, Glorious Trainwrecks x Babycastles, Wizardcastle, Glorihorse Yellowcastle, yellow jogging babycastles, Glorious wizardcastle, "bureau of corrections, guatemala", Glorious Trainwrecks @ Baby Castles, GT: BC, BC: GT, At Babycastles, babywrecks, traincastles, glorious baby: castlewreck, traincastle babywreck, babytrain glorycastle

Please comment about all of these things below.
Thank you for your enthusiasm and participation!
