I think boston's in ruins but not in the good, hessian way. :)
I wasn't as impressed with Ae as i hoped to be (first ae show). I think
Matmos has one of the more interesting conceptual schticks going but live,

and the less said about what was going on in between the better.
nevertheless, i agree; the squash courts looks like lotta fun in the sun.
tortoise should be great (another first for me).
and i ran across this the other day and though i'd post it for other
beantowners who can't get enough of that concrete sound:
