And thanks for the visuals. I'll add another factor to the personal space conversation: being short. It's rather intimidating to have to wiggle your way through a crowd, not for a better view, but for a view at all. Then there's the 6'5'' guy who will, without fail, stand directly in front of me after I have just wiggled into a decent spot. And Jeremy, I was at First Fridays at LA NHM too. The juxtaposition of dinosaurs, wild animals, and live music is an odd experience. It's kinda creepy, but fun. This is such a cool post, Bryan. And thanks for the visuals.

Your account of the Reich now has me *really* kicking myself that I didn't wake up early and head down there. DJA — Thanks for your link.

Ignores most of what went on. Funny that Pitchfork only has pictures of “bands”. Ignores most of what went on.

I'm sad I missed the film at the end of the night last night, but I was just knackered. Looks like it was great. A couple other highlights for me were the BoaC performance of Eno's <em>Music for Airports</em> and the Youth Choir's version of Meredith Monk's "Three Heavens and Hells." I found a link to more photos of the Bang on a Can marathon at <a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/43375-photos-bang-on-a-can-marathon-new-york-ny-0602-060307" rel="nofollow">Pitchfork</a>.
