Re: Northern New Jersey gig spam

Mark thanks, guess Daryl and I are thinking almost telepathically from all the remote playing we've done.  I just saw your gig announce and as I was thinking you were local to NJ at the time saw it as an interesting sounding gig to explore the where with all with you.  Was streaming your stuff in the backgound at same time which was great Mark.  How often do you attend the Crafties?  I almost did several years ago but went to Dave Smolover's NGSW in CT instead.  Hindsight should have gone to Fripp's thing.  Later read Eric's ? book  on it which was pretty unique spin.
 
Please do chime in on the fest thread I'm particularly excited by today's energy and hope we keep it going as I'd like to see this happen.
 
Where are you in VT?  I was up there for a few sessions at Will Ackerman's studio in Brattleboro between 03-04.  I have done one house concert up there as well.
 
Mark look fwd to your thoughts on the fest thread.  Luck with the Grapes show.  Daryl and did a Chinapainting show at a friends winery near Sacramento CA when we were out there last fall. Though not publized enough it was still a neat day among a number of fruit flies as it was near harvest...
 
best

Hey Jim.  Thanks.  I think "clearly hear the influences" would be a polite understatement - "grotesquely derivative" might be more accurate.  8^{/}
 
I think I responed privately to a querry from the other half of Chinapainting (yo, Daryl!), and being lazy I'll just copy from that message:
 
I am still kinda bewildered by the reception we got from 'Grapes. We played there opening for some singer/songwriter-type, did 2 sets of improvised mayhem and people seemed to enjoy it. At least we got more than the obligatory polite applause. This will be our first time with an entire evening to ourselves and the fact that they're having us back is encouraging.
 
I think the bulk of their booking is more conventional performers (whatever that means - I guess singer/songwriter or jazz stuff).  I'll report back after Friday. 
 
I'll respond to the festival thread in a different message.  Maybe even change the subject line to reflect the topic.
 
m.c.

Mark I just listed to your My Space (Twisted...) samples and like what you're doing a lot, clearly hear the influences but great aural paintings.  Going to send you a couple of friend requests.

Also does Amazing Grapes do music regularly or is this a private or trial booking for your.  I used to play a lot in NJ (I'm based in Brooklyn) but have lost trails over there re gigs.
 
Lastly while at it.  Last summer there was some chatter about org'ing a festival out here.  I picked up  the ball a bit and then had to let it ago.  It does seem there are enough of us interested in the possibility and I'd like to try to encourage this again, possibly can assume more forward motion on this time.
