Jon Gibson dropped me a line to let us know that his annual I Am 8-Bit art show kicks off next week with an opening night extravaganza.

The free show will include free drinks and free posters as well as performances by Computer Jay & DJ R-Rated. Oh, you can also peruse some might damn fine art.

The whole thing kicks off on Aug 14 at 8 p.m. and runs until midnight at the World of Wonder Storefont Gallery, 6650 Hollywood Boulevard, at the corner of Cherokee.

If the art, the music, the posters don't attract your to the opening night, know this: One of the sponsors is Colt 45.
