Re: Y2K10 fuzzy memories
I have to second this,though i could not see all the performances i really liked what i saw on Saturday,i have the feeling that the performances were more about music this time than gear.I might be wrong but i also had the feeling that finally the word was getting around about this underground event.The audience that was there seem really responsive and seem to be more in tune with what is going on.
The article on the local newspaper which featured an interview with Rick was great as well i and think that that also had an impact.
Once again Thank you guys Rick and Bill also for helping me out with the gear,flying back it would have been a nightmare for me alone in the train stations going up and down the stairs carrying my pedalboard and guitar, plus all of the other heavy luggage i had to bring back.
So big kudos to borth of you!
cheers
Luis
Thanks Bill for such a sweet acknowledgment.
The truth of the matter is that I could never have pulled all of this off without your help.
You were always there to help people with gear; to put people up; to ferry people around;
to give advice when I was unsure how to handle things and
to take my freaked out cell phone calls during how intense that week was.
You were always the one who I knew I could depend on if the chips were down or
something freaked out or fucked up (which happened a lot...........<grin/grimace>
It has been a great ride and I'm sure wonderful things will ensue from it all.
thanks for your support and your love and your constant service.
I love you, Rick

Dear Friends,
Its raining steadily and gusting at times, I'm sitting in my little room looking out the window at the all but decayed looper's shrine created by Michael Klobuchar , aided by my wife Nancy, and contributed to by virtually every looper who visited or stayed with us during the Loopfest. Due to an inordinate amount of rain and stormy weather since the festival, most of the shrine including the post industrial tiki tourches that Scoots constructed, the skis, and the Lemonhead ladder have either blown down or rotted away. I had to remove the rotting giant lemons finally, it wasn't a pretty sight... For me this was the best festival yet, for many reasons, but primarily because of the friendships created and renewed. It was particularly gratifying for me that many of you on this list who I have become friends with were able to make it back again or for the first time. Its just beyond a thrill for me to get to hang out with you all, hear you play, and exchange ideas. Oh and the music was great this year, a really strong and varied group, and this year unlike the last several, I actually got to see nearly everyone perform. I gotta say, over the past few years its been hard for me to maintain a positive attitude, about the world, about money and even about music, and the Loopfest always has a way of inspiring me and lifting me up. It was remarkable to me what Rick was able to pull off, and it was really fantastic that our neighbors stepped up and helped us house those of you that traveled the farthest.
Thanks Rick for an amazing ride, thanks to the Chris and Nancy for tremendous spousal support, thanks to everyone who volunteered in some way and thanks to everyone who made the effort to come so far and share yourselves with us.
Bill
