RE: electro-music festival June 1-3 Philadelphia

[Warren Sirota <wsirota@wsdesigns.com>]

I'm performing at the festival, and I didn't have any problem with the
ticket price. Forgive me, Rick, for presuming to interpret, but EM2007 is,
like Y2Kn (probably more so than Y2Kn), more of a "convention" than a
"festival" - the distinction in my mind being that a convention exists
primarily for the conventioneers, whereas a festival has a primary focus on
the general public. The point of EM2007 for me, at any rate, is to meet a
lot of people and hear what they are doing, and to have an occasion to put
something resembling a performance together. I'm happy to throw in a little
cash to cover expenses (especially since I can drive to this one and stay 
in
Philly with relatives, so my other expenses are pretty minimal). The 
program
is quite diverse, and there are 4 simultaneous events going on for 3 days 
in
a beautiful art museum. I for one am looking forward to checking out what
Don Slepian and Dr. T. (doing something with video) are up to, and to
hearing what happens at the "sync jam" and other jams going on constantly.
