Re: North West Loopers (was OREGON LOOPERS)




Yes, Washington, Canada, even SF, welcome. So far I have one vote for  
using Facebook for a North West Loopers group, so unless there are  
other votes I'll make such a thing in the next day or two.

My personal opinion is that such things, well, usually suck if they  
are a free-for-all but if you re-introduce some sort of limited  
structure to guide it here and there it becomes interesting to me and  
I'd love to experiment with that.

More specifically, I'd like to experiment with specific, creative  
tricks for managing it and see what happens with each.

As just one example, what if the spot light moved from one person to  
another over time and whoever it was on was the conductor, able to use  
hand motions to advise others to play more or less?

Furthermore, I'd love to see some sort of interactivity where the  
crowd somehow help shapes, or contributes to the shape things take.
