SWAP MEET

Piracy - Karaoke - Conviviality

About Me

'He who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.' - Thomas JeffersonSwap Meet is Betalevel 's monthly gathering where you can come with your favorite music files and trade them with other physical human people. Then, holler along with the dulcet tones of handcrafted MIDI karaoke. It’s like the Internet, but with people and beer.For more information: Go to the Superbunker Swap Meet project page or read the pamphlet (PDF) at The Royal Academy of Nuts + Bolts.Please note: According to recent legal decisions, inducing anyone to use physical space for the purpose of sharing music may render the space-time continuum illegal. Use the space-time continuum at your own risk!
