Re: East Coast Festival of some level

["Jim Goodin" <jimgoodinmusic@gmail.com>]

I'm just getting back to this but really glad to see lots of thinking going on here.  last time we tried to get a thread going it just sort of petered out but sounds like we got lots of energy and possibilties for an east coast event coming to be.

 

As some of you know list member Daryl Shawn and I have a duo together called Chinapainting that has grown from NinJam to live in person now several times.  We're joing together again this summer here in the east in and around his solo tour to do a few CP shows in NY and surrounding.  one of the pitches that I put out here in NY was Roulette which is a main stay experimental supporting organization.  As it's turned out we missed their window for this summer but are in their graces for the future.  While I had their ear I ran a pitch to my contact about the possibility of an east coast experimental music fest and would they be open to hosting.  Got a note back last night was opening to keeping them posted as we made progress on this.  I said we were in early discussions of orchestrating a festival so putting Roulette in the hat as a possibility.  Doing it in NY would have + and -, very visible but I'm still a fan for more in the surrounding states as it feels like it might reach a wider audience though mabye a tougher sell.

 

A bit premature maybe but what about setting up an East Coast Experimental Music Festival or whatever we choose to call it, My Space page with the idea of advance promotion as we go on this as well as gaining interest, maybe that in itself mgiht lead to a host.  What do you think?

 

Rick Walker hope you are seeing this thread from somewhere as there's good energy happening here...

I live in Philly and organize events at a space called Circle of Hope, which has hosted 30 or so of the aforementioned Bowerbird shows.  I'd be interested in performing and hosting the show, it would be cheap to free.

yeah, my only objection is the distance. it's a 6-hour drive for me, and more or less than for anyone from NY.  aside from that, it sounds great.

I didn't call you Philly, tho i suppose it could be read that way.

i have never been called "PHILLY".....num-nutz, big nut, goofball, yes, but "PHILLY" never.....:).....actually, i'm in a much better place (at least hockey wise) PITTSBURGH.....i believe warren said PGH was not tenable, too far perhaps?.....rick did ask me to host the Y2K8 here and i thought i could get it together but the venue i had and still have was a bit iffy.....i therefore backed out of the Y2K8 because i did not want to be left high and dry with several hundred loopers crashing at my house and playing on my deck, not that i wouldn't like this, mind you.....the main problem with the venue, a great big old building with 2 very large connected rooms on the first floor an equally large second floor as a great "hangout space" and a wonderful third floor with full kitchen, bath with shower and enuf floor to sleep a small army,think major loft abeit "urban rustic".....i sort of envisioned a 2-3 day non stop hoedown, a LOOP RETREAT so to say.....the building would be all ours for whatever length of time we wanted it......getting back to the problem: the owner of the building has it on the market and it could go at anytime.....i sort of doubt that this will happen because he wants big amounts of scoot for the place.....it is in a very artsy area of the city several blooks down from the about to be opened INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.....every first friday of the month there is an art crawl along the street and it gets bigger each time.....i have played here many times and had a great deal of fun.....it's pretty ideal for what we would want to do.....i throw this on the table as an option.....either for an east coast fest and if this is too far away for everyone then i would offer it as a place for a smaller mini-fest for those closer to the BURG.....it would be a great place to congregate and meet and live together for a few days, loop our brains out and most importantly it would cost us $0.00.....get here and BYO FOOD etc. is all you need do.....as an open invite to anyone near PITTSBURGH you are always welcome to join me for the FIRST FRIDAY GIG, built in audiance, you can't beat that and it's totally informal, do what you want!.....so there ya be, my 2 cents.....michael
