Re: San Francisco gig blurt

["Rick Walker \(loop.pool\)" <GLOBAL@cruzio.com>]

I think that the San Francisco loopers have gone the way most artists have
gone in San Francisco:   the dot.com rent insanity is currently destorying
the better part of the creative spaces to play in the city.  I know that
really creative people like Matt Davignon are up there.  I'm still waiting
for the
first San Francisco Loop Festival.

We are trying to find a spot to bring the World's First Bass Looping Tour*
to San Francisco and we are having a hell of a time finding a place to do 
it
Part of this may be the short notice that we have had to work out, but I
have been a little shocked at how hard it is to bring a pretty cool thing
like this to the city.
I, also, am not a San Franciscan, but has that ever stopped me from
commenting.........................................hell no ;-)

Ciao for now,  Rick  Walker (loop.pool)

non-performing bassists-and Max Valentino)
