Michael MD's Report

yes - SPRACI has been online for 15 years..

If anyone has a venue I'd love to do a party...

got back from Newcastle... Gatsby Ball was the best ... vibe!!!

..much more fun than the Cambridge the night before which had no vibe and certain very unfriendly bar staff (certain people should NOT be working in bars!) ... Saturday's sessions and evening fun at the Gatsby Ball more than made up for it though!

Gatsby's had a much more mixed crowd too ... probably part of the reason the vibe was so much better there!

As always at ThisIsNotArt there were interesting sessions, zany performances, and a diverse and friendly mix of people with different and complementary interests .. its more than just another party.

... and as bonus I got hold a piece of piezo plastic that might be put to use for something interesting!
...think of strange electroacoustic things :-)

Now that I'm back in Sydney I'll want to check out some of the Australian Web Week events and of course on Thursday - EXCISION! (if you like dark, envigourating electronic sounds check this guy out!)

Regarding those other festivals I would have also loved to go to (Dragon Dreaming, Bellingen, etc) ... how about we ban long weekends and let people choose their days of so that not everyone organises their festivals on the same weekend!!!

and oh yes .. the daylight saving confusion... when are they going to wake up and ether abolish this mid 20th century white picket fence nonsense or at least standardise the changeover dates worldwide and stick to it?

... as if timezones were not enough of a mess as it is!
