Call for Sounds Musicians and Sound Artists of all kinds are invited to contribute installations, improvisations and performances to an event to be held Saturday, May 3rd beginning at noon. This event will be a music circus in celebration of the closing of the 6th Annual Music for People and Thingamajigs festival, a yearly selection of tunings not traditionally western, made and found instruments, environments and people. The location of the music circus will be the intersection of Market and Castro streets and the surrounding hills (Twin Peaks, Buena Vista Park, and the hill with the Randall Museum on it) from which sound will be directed towards this intersection or difused throughout space. Action will begin at noon and can be as subtle or overt as the performers wish. Already planned are performances by Dylan Bolles, Edward Schocker, and Liz Albee. Jorge Boehringer will be installing his work Shelter on several hilltops, and other installations are planned by Kristin Miltner and others. To participate please send a description of your idea for performance or installation and your preferred location (so we can insure a wide distribution of activities). Of course, you can always just show up and play and that is alright too. In any case please contact sevencentralandmountain@ yahoo.com for more details. Topographic maps of the area are availiable at: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=10&n=4179245&e=549534&s=25 and roadmaps of market and castro are widely availiable.

I need the following dates filled: April 22nd (w/ Super Model Super Model) April 29th (Henry Kaiser/Danielle DeGruttola/Shoko Hikage Trio) There is also a possibility that Moe!kestra! may NOT be playing on April 8th and I may need somebody to replace that slot, but I'll know within a week to see how I feel by then. And ROVA is playing on the 15th and I haven't decided if I want to give them the full two sets or give another set to another act. So we'll see about that as well. Please email me off list (ON MY JUNO ACCOUNT!!!! NOT THIS AOL ONE!!!! Details below.) and let me know which date you prefer and any info I may need to know. Also, you may forward this message to anyone you may feel is interested in playing. One more note: I'll be booking again at the Black Box for one month in June and then again starting in September, If I'm still around by then. And there aren't many spaces out there so hop on it!
