Fight hunger this Saturday and partake in the spectacle of “probably the world’s largest mobile food drive.”
Chiditarod is an Epic Urban shopping cart race based on dog sled racing, a charity food drive, costumed beauty pageant, talent show, fundraiser and chaos generator all in one. All proceeds benefit the Greater Chicago Food Depository and the CHIditarod Foundation.
Donate at least $10 now to help SGC move up the leaderboard (currently 6th place).
This is a checkpoint for Chiditarod Chicago, so on Saturday there will be sweaty costumed people running around, food for purchase, arcade games to play, and an an actual race in progress. The soundtrack will be provided by real humans:
1-2:30: Liz Revision (Glitchy techno / arcadetronica)
2:30-5pm: BenmeR (Live visuals)
Catch the starting line at 12:30 pm at Wollcot and Hubbard to witness an effluence of creative costumed humanity setting off on their race courses. Racers will arrive at Emporium Arcade Bar around 1pm.
I’ll be playing an upbeat, dancable arcadely-themed set, with melodic minimal techno, 8bit, glitchy weirdness, IDM, etc. And playing some new Quantazelle tracks for fun. Yeehaw.
