Huge thanks go out to
Simran Gleason, Craig McCollough, and Mark Hamburg
who graciously gave up their slots to accomodate the fact that we lost
6 evening slots due to the atrocious lack of support exhibited by the SC
Police department in giving us a temporary permit for the festival

All three of these wonderful artists will be special featured
live loopers in our ongoing 2nd Sundays Live Looping Series in coming
months.

They are all wonderfully creative artists whose performance presence I sorely missed.
The festival was amazing. Thanks for everything all of you and especially Simran, Craig and Mark.

Note: The trio HOOPLA used the loop software "HOOPS" created by Tim Thompson for their performance.
