Hey everyone,
I don't know how relevant most would consider this to be, but I'm going to feature the original Star Control 2 Hyperspace theme in the music setlist for the intermission of an upcoming event. Star Control 2 fans will likely be interested in the subject matter too (especially those who actually live within driving distance of Los Angeles). This will be a big event, expected attendance: 900. Here's the scoop:
