Whew! After 7.5 hours of driving I finally made it back to my home in Oregon from Santa Cruz. I got a speeding ticket on I-5 just south of Red Bluff but what the hey. It was worth it. I'd really like to publicly thank Rick Walker for making the Y2K2 Loopfest a terrific weekend. It was very well organized. And, I think a good deal of the good feelings and camaraderie were greatly inspired by Rick's own personal spirit. There couldn't be a more gracious host, understanding "traffic cop," personal, promotional "cheerleader" and all around "good guy!" Rick . . . you rock! I came away physically tired but creatively inspired and energized. It was an amazing thing. And, with the one lone exception of the momentary technical snafu at the beginning of my set it was a fairly painless ordeal for me. I even enjoyed it -- though I dare not hope that the audience felt the same way. I also appreciated all of the help from everyone who helped me schlep so much gear in and out. Best regards and wishes, Ted Killian PS: Rick reiterate my sincere thanks to your lovely wife for her hospitality and letting all these strange men (out of town loopers) invade her home for 2+ days too. She's a peach. Do something nice for her for having to put up with us. Thanks again!
