@bourgwick love the Sir Douglas Quintet poster, the copy I have has a slight offset in the green print which gives a really nice feel.

@bourgwick would love to go, can only imagine the vibe. Dead and Japanese cherry blossom.

Well that was fun, some real rhythm devils moments but also a lot of Steve Reich minimalist vibes.
