Dear Stan, I loved the music you made at the festival...........the sounds were unbelievably beautiful. My poor ears couldn't take it in the room but I stood outside the venue and loved what I heard. I'm being really sincere when I say this. I also get that you can get these sounds no other way so I know what you are going for. You make Glen Branca look like a friggin' cub scout.............lol!!!!! So, I felt really terrible asking you to turn down...........I don't ever like to do that but to confess to you, we didn't have an official permit to do the festival because I was certain that the overcontrolling SC police department would never give us a permit to play until midnight (or else riots would ensue with minors being raped by overzealous live looping artists). We just had to play that long to accomodate all the artists this year so I took the risk of trying to avoid an official complaint from some of the other tenants in the building who were having business hours (and who have been crabby in the past). I knew that just one complaint to the police department by tenants of the building would result in us losing at least the late night slots if not the whole festival so I took the risk of asking you to turn down. In the front the plate glass in the windows was wobbling so badly from those beautiful bass tones of yours that we were afraid they were going to shatter. Besides, your famous roady roared his approval when I lied and said the cops had already come (and later, I heard that he suspected I was telling a cream colored lie). So, my main man.............thanks so much for playing.........................keep being uncompromising in your artistry and Blue Cheer..........................move over guys, there's a new sound lord in town. Please forgive me................I love your music; always have and always will remain a big Stanosauros fan. love, Rick (who is just now recovering from the whole wonderfully creative, fun (and sometimes vexing) festival)
