Dear Loopers, Loopstock 2003 will be held on Saturday, April 5th. The venue will be Chumash Auditorium on the campus of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California U.S.A. The festival will run from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. Last year's Loopstock was a huge success, and was the first ever gathering of it kind. There were an estimated 40 to 50 loopers in attendance, and until Rick Walker's Y2K2 Loopfest last July, it was the largest gathering of Loopers ever under one roof. They came from Boston, Philadelphia, Oregon, Brazil, and all over California. Hopefully this year's Loopstock will be even bigger and better, and again provide an opportunity for the Looping community to get together face-to-face, share our music, and take Looping to the next level! At this time, I would like to request that anyone interested in performing at this year's Loopstock please either e-mail a bio and a link to online music to: hans@ernieball.com or snail-mail a bio and CD to: Hans Lindauer 549 Los Osos Valley Rd. Los Osos, CA 93402 Please get these to me ASAP. If you're going to use snail-mail, also send an e-mail heads-up so that I can look for your packet. I reserve the right to keep any material sent to me, and to replicate one of your songs on CD for promotional purposes. Please keep in mind that Loopstock is an all-volunteer event and free to the public, and as such you will need to cover your own meals, hotels, travel expenses, etc. Please think of this as more of a convention than a gig. I expect that there will be more submissions than there will be performance slots available. But that doesn't mean that everyone can't still participate. There will be many opportunities to be a part of Loopstock, so please e-mail me if you wish to get involved. If you know how and would be willing to design a flyer, build a web page, ask sponsors for money, write a press release, record video or audio, get T-shirts made, run a sound system, schlep gear, set up, tear down, or do any of the other one-hundred-and-one things that will make Loopstock special, please let me know! Yours, -Hans Lindauer
