The website that has been graciously donated and maintained by Bernhard 
Wagner
(the mastermind behind the wonderful Zurich Live Looping Festival this 
past 
month).

Bernhard, I have to say,  is having a banner month.   He is a headliner 
for 
this years'
Y2K5 Festival; he just produced the best live looping festival I've ever 
seen and he
has a beautiful new debut live looping solo CD out.    I will write a full 
review of this wonderful
record as soon as I am able to breathe after Y2K5, but it's a goody. 
Suffice it to say that you should buy one from him while he is in America 
(and the shipping charges are low.............lol)

A quick note to all Performing Artists:

1)  Please go to the website site and see if there is any information that 
you can fill in
or correct and e-mail me immediately so I can change it.  It would be 
great 
to have current e-mails and
URLs for your music for every artist.

Just put the bold letters  WEBSITE INFO: Y2K5 (YOUR NAME) in the subject 
header of our email to me and mail it to     rickwalker@looppool.info .
This way  I can collate the information and update the website very 
quickly. 
Thanks a lot!!!!

2)  I will be posting set orders of all the concerts within two weeks of 
today.
The reason I will wait that long is because I have a couple of big acts 
that 
I am still waiting on
final confirmation from, so I don't want to do all the work to plan it and 
then have to do it all over again.
Thanks for bearing with me

3)  In two weeks time I will write a very definitive set of instructions 
about what we'll all need to do in order to make such a garngantuan 
performance come off professionally )load in, performance and sound check 
information, et. al.)

4)  Also, PLEASE DO NOT  flood me with questions about the festival until 
you get that email.  The amount of email I am sending and recieving 
between 
venues, transportation providers, accomodation providers,  foreign artists 
is just completely overwhelming.   LOL,  the less stressed I am, the 
better 
the festival will be......................why?   Because I"m a stress 
puppy 
for sure!

Don't worry.   Everything will be done in a way that benefits all and I 
won't forget anything,  I promise.

Thanks a lot!!!!
