MAKER FAIRE: Loop.pooL/Kid Beyond

["RICK WALKER" <looppool@cruzio.com>]

The extremely creative MAKER FAIRE is this weekend
http://www.makerfaire.com/ at the San Mateo Fairgrounds
just south of San Francisco (north of the Silicon Valley).

Amongst many other things,  two live loopers will be part of the
musical presentations at this very unusual and stimulating festival.

I, |LOOP.POOL  will be performing on the MAIN outdoor STAGE on Sunday 
afternoon at 3 p.m.
followed, immediately by the  fabulous acapella 'band in a box'  looper 
KID 
BEYOND who's
set begins at 4:15.

     If you haven't seen him,  Kid Beyond is a fantastic performer  
creating 
an
entire dance concert with just his voice as a source for sound.   He has 
seemless integration
of Ableton's LIVE using midi footpedals and a microphone (he never even 
touches his
laptop in his performances).    He's really inspiring and I can't more 
highly recommend seeing
his show.

The MAKER FAIRE is MAKE magazines annual festival that showcases unusual 
and 
creative
inventions.

You can think of it as the Burning Man for Geek Tinkerers or Hot Nerd on 
Nerd Action!!!!

I jest, but in reality, this festival is really 
exciting................from 
people making groundbreaking invetnions
in ecological lifestyles to people who invent strange musical devices,  
I've 
never seen so much creativity
in a small space in my life.

It is an ideal summer festival atmosphere for all ages.  I hope you can 
make 
it on Saturday and Sunday.
If you read this hear, please come up and say hello to me after I've 
cleared 
my stage for Kid Beyonds
 performance.
