Re: Looking for DJ/Electronic device person (SF area)

[Mark Sottilaro <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

Hey Paul, that sounds great!  I know asking someone to sit in on such short
notice is a bit crazy, but what's experimental music without some
experimentation, eh?  Actually, I'm really looking for someone (on these 
two
shows coming up this weekend) to take over the drum machine so I've got one
less thing to deal with.

Anyway... the friday show at ATA (21st and Valencia) starts at 7:30, and we
play until 8:15.  There's a bunch of video screenings, and then we play
again... maybe until midnight, I'm not sure.  The Saturday show is at a 
gallary
called nOe art space: which is: Value Vacation. 3901 23rd Street @ 
Sanchez. San
Francisco. (415) 824-2553.  I'm a bit worried about that gig, as I just 
found
out that they're planning on us doing it outside.  SF isn't known for it's
balmy nights so.... maybe we can move inside if it's too cold.  We'll see.
Anyway, come up and say hello.

If we miss eachother this weekend, let's figure out a time to get together
anyway.

Talk to you later,

Mark
