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.

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?)

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)
