I personally think it is wonderful that loopers are 'spamming' the list with announcements of gigs. It means we are becoming a healthier community and getting our stuff out to the public in greater numbers. Even if I can't make a Boston or Washington D.C. or New York loopfestival or gig, I really feel connected, emotionally and spiritually, with all the folks who are doing, analogously, what we are doing out here in our neck of the woods in Northern California. I just propose that we add Gig SPAM: 'such and such a gig' to our subject in our e-mails so that everyone has the option of deleting them if they aren't interested. You know, I was at the flea market today and told the young guy who regularly sells me my double soy mocha out there that I'm leaving for a 12 country tour this summer in May. He said, "That's amazing.......only three years ago you were telling me that you were nervously preparing for your first ever solo looping gig". Wow, did that take me back! That all happened largely because of this community. I say GIG SPAM on!!!!!! .........and delete when you aren't interested (although I have a hard time understanding why you wouldn't be, frankly). yours, Rick Walker
