    So it's going to cross the forbidden April 1 barrier. How can we possibly believe/trust an April Fools Day schedule?

    I was curious about Big Ears and the potential for a superspreader event.
    Interestingly enough, there was a small spike following the festival.
    Nationally it has not bumped things.
    Back when Sturgis happened during the summer of 2020 there was a noticible bump in national numbers as a result.
    I guess things are trending downward.

    I blame Wynton, what was the question?

    I can't believe Big Ears website is nominated for a Webby Award. In a normal desktop browser, you couldn't even view the whole schedule...

    Anyway, I'm still processing the Zorn material. I bought CDs for basically all his groups at Big Ears. Really been enjoying Chaos Magick (& The Ninth Circle). Been writing a lot of music as well - no doubt inspired by the festival.

    Another good Big Ears Review despite there being barely a mention of Zorn

    I agree on the Webby Award. Clearly its about aesthetics not usability.
