Doh! San Francisco.

At this point, I'm playing any place, any time for anyone. Besides, once I'm
behind the knobs and all wired up, I'm only vaguely aware of anyone else's
existence :> Absorbed - to a fault...

I'm surely very boring to watch - I barely look up from what I am doing all
the time I'm on stage - lean over the xl-7 twiddling knobs, shuffle around
the foot pedals to loop stuff, and diddle in solos and the basslines, but
basicly keep to myself. Probably a lot more interesting than just using the
xl-7, or placing vinyl on a turntable, but it seems like people  expect
something more visual from >live< entertainment as opposed to the
needle-drop kind. Anyone got any suggestions, other than aquiring a
frontperson to squawk and wiggle their butt for the crowd?
