Stev0 and the two Dopers are not going to the concert, unless there's room via no-shows. 5 "Maybe-If-We-Get-There-In-Time" ectophiles (woj, Karen Hester, Don Keller, Laura Clifford and Robin Clifford) Plus one "Sure-Wants-To-Come-But-Probably-Ain't-Gonna-Make-It" (Kerry White) That's still 11 confirmed absolutely, and 5 Maybes. I have a another possible from MySpace (Lani, who might be coming with woj) I have a possible from the Tori fandom (Eric Brust) I would think that Robert Bristow-Johnson and Jeff Wasilko will be uber-busy, but I'm hoping they can stop in and say hi at least. Henning, Andrew, Jessica, where are you? (come on, you three HAVE to be there!) Come on Jessica, imagine... Doug Alan, who founded Love-Hounds, Me, who wouldn't shut up about Happy in Love-Hounds You, who founded ecto when the Happy chatter in LH became too much. Really, a once-in-a-lifetime get-together! Anyone else?? I will add the Maybes to the reservation list. Better to reserve for too many than not enough. I'll be making reservations in a couple of days so write me! I'm gathering people's e-mail address so I can send out a final notice and details off-list.

Blind added the amazing Rhan Wilson (Thoth) this summer as the magical 3rd of the new Blind trio & he is fabulously fun & funky! He plays big fat funk bass, a tribal drum set plus psychedelic space guitar, he live loops with me and added so much to the BLIND sound at Oregon Country Fair, FaerieWorlds and Seattle! We thank you Rhan! Thanks to all our friends and fans all along the way this summer! Flying east as a duo and playing the one and only Starwood Festival in upstate New York was the highlight of our tour, it's an amazing vibe right coast vibe, like a teeny Burning Man only more Pagan, less party, or Oregon Country Fair back in the 60s, friendly, fun and mind expanding. Big bonfires, giant drum jams, a Didj Dome, the Pufferdome where we played in the round with vids over us and the audience on the floor on pillows, total trance. Please go to http://www.myspace.com/landoftheblind and check out the new photos of OCF, Starwood, Seattle-TRC under "Summer Tour 07" A Pagan Parade of Phun We are off to Burn The Man, we play Center Camp Tuesday night/Wednesday morning 2am, our Uber Chill Late Night Tribal Trance Jam, so join us if you are out there. We will also play the Playa at random times & places.

They can be quite abrupt if you even ask about squeezing a latecomer in. It's fair enough I suppose; the volume of people (esp. on Sunday mornings) would make it unworkable otherwise. Just be aware, they won't make an exception, even for you..." Which seems to put a damper on my idea of reserving from 5pm-7pm, and assuming people would just show up around that time or whenever they can (also assuming that most people would be leaving to go to the venue between 5 and 6:30). Having EVERYBODY there at the SAME time before we can even be let in is going to be a problem. If the above is true, they might give people who show up at, say 5:20 or 5:45 (maybe woj, et al) a hard time. I don't want that. I have no idea what else around that area, big enough to hold large parties, yet very close to the venue. If they're strict about that, they are also probably not going to stand for separate checks. I'm going to look around a little bit more.

I cannot speak for Andrew other than I know he will fly in on Saturday noon (I come on Friday) - so he should be early enough. I had sent him another mail a week ago and did not yet receive an answer, he may have been far from his e-mail. No idea how Andrew will make the night with the 5 h time lag - when Happy will start it will be 3 am for poor him. I have 6 h to compensate but with one night to sleep I am usually well adjusted.

You are on the list now, and I've heard from Andrew, and he is too. Yay! Vickie ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2007 18:00:37 -0700 (PDT) From: "Xenu's Sister" Subject: Webcasting Ectofest...maybe Chris has found a way that, if everything can be worked out technically, the show can be webcast. Happy has said yes, Noe has said yes. We can ask Casey later. The main thing we need to know is if The Lily Pad has an Internet connection, and if not, if Chris can find a way to do it wireless. The feed would go through his video camera and laptop. Anyone anywhere in the world could be able to watch the show! It's using a program called "Sopcast" which would entail people who want to watch downloading and installing the client. It's based on peer-to-peer to the more people who "tune in" the better it should look and sound. If TLP has a net connection and/or if Chris can do it wireless, he wants to do a dry run with one of the concerts we have on videotape, so we'll need volunteers to hook up and try to get it. I'm not sure when that would happen. First though, Robert, do you have any idea if TLP has a net connection, or can you find out? If they did, I can't see that they'd have a problem, after all, it is good publicity for the venue.
