Firstly, a bit of a update on the Arcadian Renaissance event: we have rounded out our sponsorship needs with Untold Entertainment and the OMDC‘s support. While Jph has been scouring dusty edgetown warehouses for the arcade cabinets, the Renaissance Men (Callum, Tyler, Tony and Adam) sprang into action, corralling the CPUs and most of the displays we need in mere weeks.

Here’s some things we’re still in need of:

• Somewhere to store 5-6 arcade cabinets. Got a ground level space that we could put the cabinets before and after the Oct. 2 event? Let us know the details and what part of town it is.
• Computer speakers. Have you upgraded recently and have decent speakers to contribute to the cause?
• If you come across arcade cabinet shells or  21″+ SD monitors, let us know!

Not Arcadian Renaissance-related, but still good ways to participate in the Society:

• The excellent IndieCade fest is looking for a pro-bono designer to layout their festival booklet — colour, digest-sized, 40 pages or so. A great way to be involved if you don’t have a game to enter or the bucks to fly to LA…
• If you have an idea for a new Hand Eye Society initiative for 2011 — an event or a project we aren’t currently doing that you think we should be — now is the time to let us know.
