HOLY SHIT! Terry Riley! Meredith Monk! Fred Frith!

I am breathless. Fred Frith will be doing a bunch of shows, mostly with Montreal-based artists, throughout Vancouver New Music's upcoming festival at the Scotiabank Dance Centre, beginning on Oct. 19th; Meredith Monk and vocal ensemble perform Nov. 12 at the Chan Centre; and Terry Riley performs (with poet Michael McClure) at the Chan Centre on Jan. 2o. It's like the gods are trying to cheer me up (I've had a bad couple of weeks) and give me something to look forward to. Thank you, gods! Thank you!

I can't wait for the summer to end!
