Long time lurker, first time poster.

 

I want to thank everybody as well for making this amazing event happen, especially you Rick for introducing me to looping and being so amazingly supportive and inspirational.  It was my first time performing and my second year listening and it was very inspiring. Looping is so cool because you can see looper after looper and everybody is different and interesting.
