[NewMusic] Carbon poop-print (was ecto-touring)

[beau]

I little while back I played this festival in Romania over the net
with these fellows: http://www.netpd.org/About

getting plugged into second life, I think is roughly the same
difficulty as setting up a winamp stream?

I always thought it would be fun to ride bicycles to the albany bulb
and have a renegade session out there among the detritus of past
generations.

for further away gigs there is always trains, that would probably be a
little more eco-friendly than driving cross country in a hummer?

summers around the corner, you could always take your violin,
recorder, guitar, *, etc... on a little hike to listen to and be heard
by nature.

I second the idea of foliage for new music venues! Years before I ever
got to play the luggage store, I covertly cultivated a few small
shrubs on top of the galleries roof.


* I think you need a special permit to take a bugle out there.
