[sdiy] Electronic Music Concert

[patchell]

    Not as cool as it used to be.  Twenty years ago, they actually charged
admission to go to these Electronic Music Concerts, and the house would be
packed.  I noticed, that despite the fact that this one was free, the place
was only about 1/4 full.  Twenty years ago, the concerts were run by the
students, now, they are run by the profesors, so go figure.  I myself stopped
going to them when they made the change.  I only went to this one because I
was curious about Curtis Roads.
