Yeah. Radio's *pretty* good with all of them. He gets a little too frisky sometimes -- I had to give him a timeout yesterday when he charged at Goblin, who didn't seem upset about it, but still. Voltron has mostly retired to the bed but will hang out on the back of the couch sometimes and tolerates being close to the dog then.

I saw Laaraji and Sam Prekop last night, playing in a church that's been converted to a performance venue. Laaraji was great, as expected. Prekop's modular synth excursions left me cold.

No, I haven't. But I think after last night maybe I've hit my lifetime quota of live modular synth performaces ... watching someone stare at a rats nest of wires is just not that interesting to me. (I can do that at home). Ditto for anyone playing with a looper pedal.

They are really more than they should cost which is why I think so few have sold. But there are tickets in the $70-80 range
  10:13am
Mike in DC:

I checked the venue and resale sights. It looks like probably half of what has sold are robots trying price arbitrage, but there is admittedly little demand at this price. I may try the $70 tickets and hope moving up in a half empty auditorium is allowed. Or grab last minute resales at a loss to the robots.
