I really second this. Even if your participation is virtual. The party organizers are really accommodating of just about anything that's entered, which means the barrier to entry isn't super high, and there's multiple categories of things you can enter, even just an mp3 of some music you're sequencing, or an image you are painting in some interesting way, somewhere is fine. It can be really fun to go, and in person can be a real blast. I'll also echo that since the party is run by CMU's computer club, the collection of vintage hardware you can mess with is absolutely unreal.
