The Cologne Loopfestival /and Konstanz loop show with Rick Walker reviews

["L.A. Angulo" <labaloops@yahoo.com>]

Dear loopers,
I finally get to write a few words about my experience
at the Cologne and Konstanz Festival in Germany.
First of all i want to thank Michael Peters and his
wonderful wife for bringing us to the festival and
having us stay at their place.Everything went smooth
and was brilliantly organized,and everybody involved
in the crew was extremely helpful and friendly.the
show was succesfully well attended and received with
every sit taken in the house and there were even
expecators standing watching the show till the very
end.People also drove long distances from different
countries to see the show,and most of us musicians
sold CDs and came out of cologne with our expenses
covered plus x-tra fee.
For me was specially it was a great experience 
sharing the stage with nine loopers and getting to
know personally the ones that are on this
list.Everyones set was brilliant,i myself was not
quite satisfied with mine since i had to reduce my
equipment to be able to travel by train and because i
was dealing with 2 pieces of new equipment which
caused some technical problems at the begining of the
show.Nevertheless i got through it somehow and was
suprised at the reaction of some people who came after
the show to kindly give me positive feedback.
I followed up playing in the loop show in Konstanz
Germany which i organized featuring Rick Walker which
went really well, but due to the current football
craze and nice weather on that particular day it was
less attended than expected.But we still had about 20
people some who also drove from far away to see us and
we were very well received with positive reviews on
the local papers.
I would encourage anybody who has not organized a loop
show to do so,it might be a bit of work but it is so
rewarding that it is addictive,just getting to know
pople on this list and spending time sharing time
together exchanging ideas and learning from each other
is worth the effort!
cheers to all of you looping friends who were at the
shows!
