Event: 8BITS (New York)

We don’t do too much of self-pimping here on SideQuesting, but when one of our own talented writers puts together an event like this, there is no option but to righteously support them.

Whitney Meers, our Girl About New York, has written a sketch comedy show about the toils of video game characters.  Entitled “8 Bits” and directed by Eddie Brawley, the show is sure to be a romp into the lives of characters and how they aren’t always coming up sparkly.

The show takes place this Thursday (April 8th) at 6:30PM at the UCB Theatre on W. 26th Street in NYC.  And for $5 entry, you can’t find a better deal for what’s sure to be a great show. [MAP]

Whitney has also recorded a music video to go along with the show.  A rap song with an ode to gaming love, the catchy beat has now supplanted the 24 dial tone as my phone ringer.  View the video below, and come on out to the show this Thursday.
