loopfest schedule planning (was: critique of the 30 minute loopfest)

["Rainer Thelonius Balthasar Straschill" <rs@moinlabs.de>]

On this thread, I'd also like to hear from the festival organizers how they
put the schedule together with regard to how specific performers are
grouped.

>From the y2k6loopfest experience, I found that headliners/featured
performers/special guests get the slots in the evening programme, and in
some cases, schedule planning is also based on availablity/travel schedule
of the individual artists, but apart from that:

Do you try to group similar artists together (e.g. all abstract
electronica/acoustic stuff/dance beat/singer-songwriter people in one block
each), or do the exact opposite and have styles change from slot to slot?
What are your goals/experiences here?
