Dear Loopers, I wanted to try to get a message out before everyone begins their journeys to Loopstock. Everything's coming together quite well, and I'll be glad to finally have this thing actually happen. Thanks to everybody for all your support and encouragement - it's made this a very rewarding task already. The buzz is going around town, so I think this may be a relatively well-attended event, aside from all of the loopers there. I've placed a link to Mapquest maps and driving directions on http://www.armatronix.com which should get get you there from basically anywhere. If you know the town, you'll probably know a better way to get here, but otherwise here are the simplest directions once you reach San Luis Obispo: >From the north on U.S. Hwy. 101: Get off on the Broad St. exit. Make the next three immediate rights (after the off-ramp) and then the next left. This will put you on the other side of the freeway back onto Broad Street. Follow the directions below. >From the south on U.S. Hwy. 101: Get of on the Broad Street exit. At the Mission Plaza, jog right then left to stay on Broad. Drive Southeast on Broad approximately three miles until you see a Mitsubishi dealership on the left. The next street after the dealership is Francis Street. I'll put balloons up on the street sign to make it easy to spot. Make a left on Francis and park. The venue will be on the left side of middle of the first block. Please arrive by 2:00 p.m. There's no need to come early, because there will be a dance class in session. However, I would like everyone to be there at 2:00 so we can get started immediately. Once again, the performance schedule: (I guess everybody's satisfied with their time slot - THANK YOU!) 2:00-2:30 Set-up and socialize 2:40-3:10 Stanitarium (Stan Card) 3:20-3:50 Steven Rice 4:00-4:30 Mark Hamburg 4:40-5:10 Sleeping (Mark Sottilaro, Valerie Hilligan & Katrin Schenk) 5:20-5:50 Jon Wagner 6:00-6:30 Matthias Grob 6:30-7:00 Break 7:00-7:30 Rich Atkinson & Cliff Novey 7:40-8:10 Max Valentino 8:20-8:50 Dr. Richard Zvonar 9:00-9:30 Rick Walker's Loop.pooL 9:40-10:10 Ted Killian w/ Dr. Bob Sterling 10:20-10:50 Tom Heasley 11:00-11:30 Bill Walker 11:40-12:10 armatronix (Hans Lindauer & Daniel Seymour) If you think you may need more than 30 minutes to set up, please plan on starting early. There will be a video projector (maybe two). Please bring a video for your set if you have something that you want playing behind you. I prefer VHS format, but if you have a DVD, I can borrow a player (please let me know). We can also accommodate a laptop with an S-Video or RCA output. If you don't have anything, we'll take care of it. If you don't want video, we can do that too. I'll have folding tables available for you to use for gear during your set. Is anybody other than Mike LaMeyer planning on taping? It would be nice to have some redundancy there, for posterity. CT-Loopstock? For anybody around on Friday night looking for something to do, Armatronix will be using live loops to Battle the Cut Devils' pre-recorded loops at Sweet Springs Saloon. At the door, the secret Looper's code to get in free is the "L" on your forehead with your thumb and forefinger. Please let me know if you need directions to the venue. I'm sure there's plenty more that you'll need to know, but I can't think of anything else right now, so I'll turn it over for discussion. After Thursday afternoon, the best way to get ahold of me with last-minute things is by calling (805)534-1009. Please travel safely, and I'll see you all very soon, -Hans Lindauer
