The Listening Depot

Late in the evening at Seacompression 2007, my African drum & dance, roller derby, and Johnny Jetpack worlds all came together.  As Eric Wilson, Philip Seward, Barbara Crummins, and I were putting together some pretty rocking drum-jam grooves in the shadow of Johnny Jetpack’s amazing light installation (which also included some fun with liquid nitrogen a little later on),  a Rat City Rollergirl (Jo Jo Stiletto?) rolled through the crowd of dancers, which included two of my favorite West African dancers, Gonya Loobey and Karen Sloane. It was a nice little moment.
