TekForce’s New Single: RetroDreaming
This week TekForce released a new single called RetroDreaming with an “Offbeat Ninjas” beat. For those who do not know who TekForce is he is a gamer, a father, a lover of the 80’s and an emcee plus a pretty cool dude.
I met TekForce during the Dallas Comic Con when he was performing at the Hard Rock cafe in June. I had other plans but opted to go and watch geeks dance. To my surprise, TekForce was performing and walked in just in the nick of time to see him perform “Level Up” (video below) which is all about gaming. I thought my evening would be quite drab till I saw him perform and it was an awesome performance. After he performed I introduced myself and since then we’ve been tech geek pals.
When TekForce released his new single, RetroDreaming, this week I immediately checked it out. It was awesome! In Tekforce‘s own words on his new single “RetroDreamin is basically a track about me seeing all the things I grew up with in the same dream. The beat was done by “Offbeat Ninjas,” and really has that classic feel. I really just wanted a song where I could flow freely with no constructions….kinda like a dream.”
Without further ado here is the new single “RetroDreamin” by TekForce:
Besides the new awesome single, TekForce received the first “Love It!” stamp awarded by Hi-Tech Chic. For more information about TekForce click here.
Enjoy and TGIF!
Austin’s Classic Gaming Convention: Game Over Videogames – Classic & Used Games from Atari to Xbox
TGIF Hi-Tech Chic fans!
I’m excited to inform you all that I will be at the Classic Gaming Convention in Austin this weekend covering it for Cutegeek and Hi-Tech Chic.
This years event is said to be one of the largest conventions in Texas. will have a 45,000 square-foot vendor and event hall to showcase and celebrate classic and retro video games. The two day fest includes free play on hundreds of retro game systems and arcades, retro game tournaments, costume contests, live video game musicians, a retro game museum and a large marketplace to sell, fix or buy your own retro games and consoles.*
Though most want to see my Waldo costume I’m changing it up a bit with my LED shoelaces, Flashton Statement LED shirt and retro hi tops. Also, since it’s National Dance Day on Saturday I will be doing the “running man” in front of as many booths as I can and will post the videos on YouTube. If you see me come take a picture of me and do the running man next to me or Kid n’ Play. I will also be at the Tekforce show on Sunday at noon.
AND GET THIS….
The Classic Game Fest will also be hosting a Pokemon Go meetup area complete with ongoing lures during the festivities! There are TONS of PokeStops near the event, and there’s even a Gym across the event lawn.
