Nevyn > Sure, I've put some on in Portland, and helped in Seattle.  Played at some others.  It happens, it's just not frequent, and it's more "electronic friendly but we're not ravers or DJs" and all the various sub avenues that fit in under that umbrella.

The larger umbrella idea strikes me as worthy of
consideration.  Think about looper / dj collaborations—looper /
rawker collabs.  Offer to be the "button pusher" for a few rawkers
who seem adventurous.  Loop them; mangle them; make it groove;
make it heavy—above all, make some friends!

If looping isn't the buzzword in Portland, consider a different
label—Newmuse; Deep Cover; Sonic-Art; Experimental (there it is again);
Art-Groove; Psychedelic, etc.  Be subversive!

It might not be exactly what you personally do, but by definition,
you're asking for others to be involved—your ideas will become blended
with a larger whole.  If you don't want that brand of compromise,
stay in your solo world and do your own thing.  Deal with
lonliness—a great many artists live that life.  There's always the
internet, CT-Collective, solo recording etc.  That's what I do,
cause I don't really feel in-step (personal problems) and I live in
Santa Cruz . . . possibly the looper capitol of the world!  Kinda
strange eh?
