Hi, I thought the folks in this tribe might want to know about this really cool festival.
We're bringing 50 live looping artists from 5 countries to perform for four days in San Francisco and
Santa Cruz (where the main festival will be this coming Saturday and Sunday).
I hope you can make it. If you come from this tribe, please come up and say hello if you make one of the
events.

yours, rick walker aka L()()p.p()()L

This festival is run on virtually no budget. The fact that it has become so big and wonderful is a testiment to the live looping community all over the world. None of this would have been possible without the existence of Loopers Delight, founded and maintained by Kim Flint. He just told us that this incredibly informative and exciting website has over 900,000 page views per month now. Thanks Kim for all of your energy, time and financial contribution to this community.

See you all there, I hope!!!!

yours, Rick Walker (festival organizer)

ps Sadly, Concert headliner, Italy's Roberto Zorzi's has had to cancel his tour to the US because of the illness of his partner Paola. Our heart is with them both and we pray for her speedy recovery.
