I went to New Music America in SF in 82.  I was interviewing at HP at the time
and was listening to the tail end of it here in Rochester the night before
I went.  Well everyoned booed and hissed at all the electronic pieces and
intently listened to two asyncronous musicians(?) that screetched into
violins, threw bolts at guitars and made some sort of random noises with
those instruments.

I left after 3 trumpets bleeted out 20 minutes of one tone sort of off pitch
with each other with sink plungers and a microphone attached to them, they
where not mutes, I know what those look like.  It was to say the least pretty
boring.  Maybe I went there in the wrong state of mind or something, what
the crowd thought was serious, I thought was ridiculus and/or funny.

Unless things have changed I wouldn't try going to that again.  I thought the
lady with the Apple uP did a nice job with it!!
