> public space shows are great because they have the most innovative > people perform but why is it that it always take so long to set things > up? like if the show is at 9 why can't all the performers come like one > or two hours earlier to set up? phoenecia and richie ran late (partially due to my inability to navigate through south central la and hollywood :), but moreso due to necessary trips on the way to the venue and traffic) -- got there at like 9:15ish.. did a small sound check.. and if i recall, alex/lexaunculpt was on pretty fast. but then again.. i was tired as hell. comments/suggestions to public space can prolly be sent to xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. > and what's with the lack of seating? i mean it's not a concert and it's > not a rave so have some more chairs! i wouldn't have mind waiting > because the djs that were spinning were really fun expecially when one > of them threw in the professor x song but damn, standing for hours > waiting for them to set up really suck. public space has done seating evnts in the past.. and in fact, it was an emphasis for a while i think.. to promote a more concert like atmosphere. i could be wrong though.. again. but, if i recall, there were seats at the spooky/ben neil show, as well as at the phthalocyanine/low res/john tejada show (was that the right lineup?) > oh yeah, alex was sooo good. beautiful roganized noise. even more > impressive than levine, but then again maybe it's because i'm not part > of the oc crew and i haven't heard him perform before. more impressive than devine? next time you see alex, tell him that. he'll be stoked! (for me its a tough call.. i liked the noisey chaos and intensity of richards set.. but hell, ive seen alex like 10 times, so i guess i am all too familiar with him) chris.
