We'll see but I'm pretty interested in seeing an ensemble that large. I'm sure that someone's gonna get cut too. Oh and the Lucier performance of I Am Sitting in a Room is going to be a must as well. And KTL. And Tim Berne's Snakeoil. And Thumbscrew. And Yves Tumor. And Fire!. And Jlin...****.

They started moving the talks to late morning or early afternoon last year,
so, for example, we could see
Roedelius talk at something like 1PM and
there might be a “minor” band playing somewhere else. Yes, there’s the
heavy acts usually between 5 and 10PM, so sometimes that’s when the
decision making has to happen - but hey! it’s an incredible environment.
My story about my first time performing “...Sitting...” is that I had the first
recording of it from the early 70s. I hadn’t yet met
Lucier so I didn’t know
that he had a speech impediment and thought that the stuttering part was
part of the piece, so I included it in the recitation. It added some rhythm. 🤪
