Somehow I got on the mailing list from Adam Curry (the ex-MTV Internet bandwagon-jumper) and it has this odd note:

I wonder about this. Will it be on MBone? When Plaid and Autechre perform as 'New Wave Rockers' do they dress up like the Cars? I presume other groups will perform -- two days is a long time to spend spanking a drum machine! -- "This unit might get hot while operating, but there is nothing to worry about it." -- Chapter 1, Verse 10, the book of MKS30. -- kent.williams@cadsi.com [Kent Williams/CADSI/2651 Crosspark Rd/Coralville IA 52241/(319)626-6700]
