Gentlemen, Start Your Laptops

Unhappy with the current state of computer music performances, Kris Markle and some friends livened it up a bit. Borrowing freely from a long tradition of rock band battles, rapping contests and poetry slams, they staged their first laptop battle at a Seattle lounge in April 2003. Since then, they've founded a group -- laptopbattle.org -- that has staged battles in other West Coast cities and helped spawn similar events around North America.
