8 Bit Lit: An Art Show Celebrating Great Video Games and Literature

Michelle Wilens and Caroline Jeanne McClanahan Nelson bring us "8 Bit Lit: An Art Show Celebrating Great Video Games and Literature" this Saturday at Meltdown.

A video game art show based on literature, I can't wait to see what they have and then laugh at the literary and game mash-ups. The life-size balloons grab my attention, but the Tiny Splendor living arcade seems like it might be exaggerated to how wonderful it might be.


"The opening reception will be SATURDAY, March 2, 2013 at 7PM and feature music by DJ Old Boy, life-size balloon art from Super Inflated (http://www.superinflated.com/) and FREE BEER provided by Stone Brewing Co. (http://www.stonebrew.com/) Tiny Splendor (http://tinysplendor.com/) will also be on hand to transform the Meltdown Comics Gallery into a living arcade. The Bun Truck (http://thebuntruck.com/) will be parked outside Meltdown Comics serving delicious treats. "

Be there and power up!
