Kevin's joke as to why other synth legends weren't invited to speak at 
the Pacific Northwest Synth Meeting September 25, 2004:


With a late night TV show inspired list, here's my "Other Synth Legends 
and why they weren't invited to speak" list:


John Simonton: He'd try to reinvent the meeting with as few people as 
possible.

I. Kakehashi: He'd only take notes at first, but would later try to 
dominate the meeting.

Don Buchla: He'd wanted to come in through the window if everyone else 
was using the door.

Serge/Rex Probe: He wouldn't attend anyways.

Phil C.: He'd probably visit, but we can't get ahold of him.

Paul S: He'd attend, but wanted the chairs placed within .01 inch of 
each other.

Roger A. He'd attend, but wanted less expensive chairs placed just the 
same way Bob Moog preferred.

K. Macbeth: Was feared he'd say the same things as the other designers, 
only better.

J. Bergfors: Demanded that all speakers wear dayglo shirts and pants.

B. Duncan: There are no Canadian synth legends!
