That Anna Meredith performance blew me away. Never heard her before. Band was all smiles and so was the audience. Blonde Redhead was excellent too. Great night all around.

I hit up 'Swimming to Cambodia,' Nief-Norf, Aleuchatistas, Carla Bley, Matana Roberts, Michael Hurley, Shipp/Kapp and 'Stop Making Sense'
The Norf Oliveros piece is going to be hard to top. Also, Stop Making Sense on that sound system was amazing

though getting up at 7 am to load in and prep for a noon show was . .. gnarly
WE HAD SO MUCH FUN PLAYING THIS FEST OMG
and we have seen a lot of rad shit too
Matana was rad
Alvin Curran killed it, such a great musician and just really wild and loose and crazy
Michael Hurley was super charming
Carla Bley trio was exquisite
bummed I missed Rzewski but we had to pack our gear
gonna be on a panel w Matana and the Deathprod dude tomorrow at 10 am if anyone is feeling masochistic
