CHECKING IN

["Rick Walker/Loop.pooL" <GLOBAL@cruzio.com>]

Dear Fellow Loopers all over the world,

I would like to propose a new thread for this list called CHECKING IN.

What I would like to propose is that everybody on this list who wishes that
they could participate in a looping performance or festival in their region
(or other region---see below) send in a brief e-mail to this list stating
that desire.

For the sake of brevity of collation, would you please but this title in 
the
subject line:

"CHECKING IN (region or country you live in stated in these parentheses)"

then, in the body of the message, state
these specific things and number them accordingly for the sake of ease of
collation as well:

1)where you live

2)where you would like to perform (a city or a region)

3) whether you have the desire to perform in any other region (many people
who played the Y2K2 LOOPFEST in Santa Cruz, California made the festival an
excuse to take a vacation.  Some even flew in from elsewhere to do so.

and finally,

4)  would you be willing to host a fellow looper or loopers at a local 
venue
(by producing the event yourself) if they came in from out of town to play 
a
show with you-----   the mini-looping festival approach.

Keep in mind that such a performance could just as easily be a free
performance somewhere as a paid gig.  Most of our festivals in Northern
California have been free to the public for the sake of educating audiences
and increasingpopularity.

5)  would you be willing to put a performer up at your home during the
length of their stay (not to exceed 3 months........no, just joking)



I will be happy to collate this information
after everyone has e-mailed in
and then we can see where we stand.

For touring purposes, I , myself would like to know where everybody is and
who wants to be involved just in case I am able to come to your region. I'm
sure there are many on this list who feel the same way.

Come on adventuresome Looping enthusiasts

Let's hear where you are.

yours,  respectfully,

 Rick Walker (loop.pool)
