Y2K2 LOOPFEST (3rd Annual Santa Cruz Looping Festival) limited call for participants

["Rick Walker/Loop.pooL" <GLOBAL@cruzio.com>]

Hi fellow loopers everywhere,

I am proud to announce the
largest gathering of live looping artists in history in one location:

Y2K2 LOOPFEST
(3rd Annual Santa Cruz Looping Festival)

On Saturday and Sunday, July 13th and 14th ....................a benefit 
for
and performance at the Cayuga Vault (Soquel and Cayuga)
in Santa Cruz, California.    Tickets for the two day festival are $20/both
days or $12/per day available at the door only.
There is very limited seating in the venue and there will be absolutely no
comp tickets because of the large number of
performers.   The Cayuga Vault is the last remaining, affordably rentable
performance art venue in Santa Cruz County and we are going to attempt 
(with
our wonderful community of loopers) to try and help them defray the $13,000
of permitting and entertainment licenses and upgrades that the City has 
just
recently demanded of them.

In the two day festival, there will be 30 minute performances by 30-40
loopers from all over the country.  There will also
be lecture demonstrations of some of the current hardware loopers by   
Andre
LaFosse,  Bill Walker and Loop.pooL
(that's me, Rick Walker) on Saturday evening.  There will be software
designers and electronic music journalists in attendance as well.

There will also be a big brunch held at a local Santa Cruz eaterie on
Monday, July 15th for both performers and anyone else
interested......................brunch after Hans Lindauers' fabulous
Loopstock festival was one of the coolest, most informative
meals I've ever had in my life.


More details and a set lineup will be posted as soon as the lineup is set.
There are still spaces for a limited number of looping artists to
perform...........Due to incredibly difficult logistics, there are some
very, very stringent performance guidlines that must be observed by all
performers.   In my next e-mail, I will mail out a call to performers.

I'm really excited about this event...........it's going to be
wonderful..........the lineup is already incredible...........more on that
later.

yours,
Rick Walker  (Loop.pooL)
