This is a rare opportunity to hear his music performed in California. And the newly reconstructed ODC theater, with The San Francisco Tape Music Collective's placement of 16+ high-end loudspeakers, will make this opportunity ideal.</div><div style="font-size: 15px; "><br></div><div style="font-size: 15px; ">I hope you can be there all three nights. </div><div style="font-size: 15px; "><br></div><div style="font-size: 15px; ">Best regards,</div><div style="font-size: 15px; ">..Thom </div><div style="font-size: 15px; "><br></div><div style="font-size: 15px; "><a href="http://www.thomblum.com/">http://www.thomblum.com</a></div></div><div><br></div></body></html>
