snip from Andre: >I appreciate the votes of confidence from folks. As I mentioned to Hans >and Rick, the main issue for me is to make sure that everyone who's been >planning on playing for a long time is well-accommodated. ESPECIALLY >since there are folks coming in from out of state/country for the thing. hey y'all, Andre's thoughts on this event seem right on the money. I DO think that underestimating setup times is very silly. OVERESTIMATE. what can go wrong, will go wrong, and more. Other than that...i'm pretty neutral about the whole thing. If Andre wants to play, cool, ok. If he wants to bow to allow for more breathing room, then don't knock a gift horse in the mouth... i can see a good deal of potential confusion happening with this event. Cliff and I are discussing an independent setup, where we could monitor soundcheck offline via headphones, then just turn our amps on and go... our gear should look like such: rich: pedalboard + midi controller > pod > mixer > jammie + repeater + FQueen and AMP/or out to PA cliff: pedalboard to edp/repeater/m1 in rack (and i think he's got a couple of hampsters chugging away on a wheel too, but i can't swear to it) out to AMP/or out to PA plus we've got a stereo backing track via portable CD player. we may run this through our mixer/amps if the PA situatioin gets too crowded and we need to setup independently concerns: just the length of 8-10 hours... is there places to sit, lie down, walk around, get some fresh air, go to the restroom, get something to eat, etc, etc? looking forward to seeing you all! rich
