Hi, yes, it was "us", but not me, at the Meltdown festival in summer 1998,
when I was nearing the midpoint of a 7 years' leave from the choir. That's
why yours truly cannot be seen in the film Dave mentions. [The film is
out on DVD, Dave: http://kryton.clickandbuild.com/cnb/shop/klaffistore.
It's OK, but really, the choir only works live - for further info, see

But in this coming June I'll surely attend the Canadian tour built around
the Toronto Soundstream festival: www.soundstreams.ca/northernvoices05.html
We'll do Ottawa and Montreal too. A couple of Northern U.S. options have
backfired so far, but the choir is still trying to find new events/venues
for the early/mid-June.

Some weeks before the Meltdown festival took place that summer I did
participate in the IPW (International Pynchon Week) at King's College
[not very far from Pepys' Buckingham Street, as you no doubt know],
though. Some other p-listers attended, too. I was quite mixed-up at
the time, but it was good to be there.
