Re: LIVE INTERNATIONAL LOOPING DAY in Santa Cruz, California



Title: Re: LIVE INTERNATIONAL LOOPING DAY in Santa Cruz, California
I just love all the whereases in the Mayoral proclamation.


I used to live in Santa Cruz-- a unique and wonderful place. When I got back into the US in Feb/ March 2001, after 4.5 years in Japan, I went to SC to visit some friends, and there on the marquee of the Rio theater saw the words "Bass Looping Festival."  How sad I was to have missed it, but how jazzed to see that something like that had taken place.

Anyway, it's cool to now be on the list and be watching from afar (Boston) the continuing events in Santa Cruz.
