Sure Mike, I don't believe you though- well spoken but you seem like a very insincere person. It clearly looks like you were sidestepping Rick and honestly I don't know or care who you are, but from my perspective your initial email to Y2K makes you sound extremely arrogant. Good luck with that.On Tue, Oct 20, 2020 at 6:41 AM Mike Why <MikeWhy@whymikewhy.com> wrote:I hope this is the email I had registered. My gmail account auto appended this email onto one I sent Rick yesterday and I think he replied to it with an address he had on the Loopers Delight list.It was an honest mistake on my part and the message was over an accidental misunderstanding. I totally got where Rick was coming from by his perspective and it's been cleared up to the best of my ability. Again, apologies.Sorry for the accidental and out of context SPAM.Mike Yanchak (Mike Why)Pittsburgh, PA USOn Tue, Oct 20, 2020, 2:02 AM Torben Scharling <torbenscharling@gmail.com> wrote:No idea what you guys are on about.Anyway here’s what I’ve been up to lately:Best Regards from DenmarkTorben ScharlingOn 20 Oct 2020, at 01.27, Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com> wrote:You sent this to my board, Mike.
Why in God's name did you do that?
Now I'm going to have to answer to them about my reasons
for declining your proposal.........which I have taken a lot of painstaking
time to explain to you. You just added all kinds of work for me.
If you were truly asking my permission and it meant something to me,
why would you do an 'end around' with this?
I'm just flabbergasted and really fucking pissed off.

We see this as the best formation to benefit the artists we will be advocating and supporting, which have extensive overlap with the live looping community. Our current goal is to have the company essentially owned and operated by its arts-driven staff within 10 years, although there is much to learn about the form that will take.We were informally considering a nonprofit to gift the company to at some point during its lifetime after it is built. We could build it, or we could tether it to another one at some point. We would prefer it be a cooperative form which it appears Y2K would be well suited for, so if that's something you'd consider, let us know.The benefit to Y2K would be straightforward -- money to do as it wishes with -- and the exchanges could be minimal in return.In the meantime, we'd love a list of other-festival contacts to start examining the possibility of sponsoring Y2K artists (as in, us just paying you for someone you already were going to have), which seems like an easy place to start a dialogue. Once we've talked with the Santa Cruz grandaddy, of course, since this suggestion came from Rick himself a few years ago.Let us know if you're interested.Best,Mike Yanchak / Mike Whyy2k santa cruz / y2k mexico performer--
