Block Party 2020

Online, 22nd April to 9th May.

The small matter of a ban on public gatherings didn't stop us having our fun this year.

There was an art contest, and as my retrospective shows, that was only a small part of possibly the largest virtual gathering of teletext enthusiasts in 2020. Recordings here:

• Horsenburger vs Yakkenburger - artistic face-off.
• The Morning Session - with Mr Biffo interview.
• The Afternoon Session (Part 1) - live drawing.
• The Afternoon Session (Part 2) - live drawing and ukuleles.
• The Evening Session - contains immature content.
• Art Contest Launch - all the entries discussed.
• Art Contest Results - all the entries, but faster.

Our very own teletext service, Chunkytext, hosted over one hundred viewer submissions, which included pictures, stupidity, and reveal jokes. The archive preserves them all, and there are other ways to create and share your pages between our main events. So dive in and draw, before even considering reading my self-indulgent art tips.

The Teletext Discord Server remains open all hours, Podcasts continue, and those VHS tapes which you find while cleaning out the house may contain valuable information.

Keep it blocky, and we hope to see you next time.
