Re: Kim and press requests.

Bill I think what you did or presented was far from the idea that you might appear to be 'grandstanding' however I think that as far as words expressed about Kim you're on target and someone from this community who was well connected to him should accompany your work in text.

If Barry desired I think presented a 'series to the GP page' from those that have produced visual work or performances would be a good thing meaning yours, Ricks, David's and the 4th person who did the other video piece.  Additionally Jeff Duke did a fine 'audio' piece on the ImprovFriday thread this weekend.

Just thoughts here...

Dear List,
 two things have come up,  the first being the most urgent. I got an e-mail from a reporter named Gianna  from the UC Berkeley who saw my tribute piece and asked if I could contribute a few words about him for an article she is writing, and of course the deadline is tonight at 5 p.m. I feel woefully inadequate to give a proper eulogy for him as I didn't know him as well as some of you who have worked with him more closely. I'm wondering if anyone has a direct connection to Keith McMillan and if he might be the person or know of persons who were more directly connected to Kim in the  SF Bay Area.  I will go back and find Matthias' post to refresh my memory on the  background of Kim's involvement with the EDP and Aurisis, but I was hoping there might be more to offer, as well.
 Secondly, Barry Cleveland approached me about posting the piece I improvised for Kim on the Guitar Player web site along with a few lines about Kim, which again I feel there would be others more equipped to articulate. If anyone would like to contribute  a short paragraph, or two or three sentences, please feel free to contact me  OFF LIST. I feel a little weird about all of this, that I might be perceived as grandstanding for press around this tragedy, which i assure all of you, was not my intention. Thanks
 Bill
