Things said about EE

Some things said about EE:

"Throughout the hallways of the school, people hung out drinking beers from cans, or forming their own informal circles of guitars, banjos, whatever. Around am, we wandered into the main auditorium and found EE (Environmental Encroachment) on the stage. I'm not sure if this ensemble plays other venues or just came together for the night, but they were about 12 musicians dressed as bunny rabbits, Easter baskets, etc., emanating a hypnotic fusion of drums, horns, guitars.

"A bunch of us got up and danced at the front of the stage at this point I had beaten drums, sang "Joey" at the top of my lungs, and I was not above letting loose to this freakishly wonderful music. It was completely surreal on stage one guy was playing the drums in a rabbit mask, and another guy in a tall pointy red velvet hat was simultaneously playing a trumpet and a trombone. And the rest of us were flailing our arms and swinging our hips to the sounds. This Alice in Wonderland-esque scene could have been a really good acid trip, yet I had hardly had two beers all night. It was at this moment I realized that I hadn't felt this completely un-self-conscious in a long time."

Hey! I have been working with you and your fellow coworkers, at John Garvy School. We are working on the Paul Bunyun!! Thank you so much for taking your time out to help us with it. You guys have been like the only people that have gotten me to really have fun with art, and I am hoping that when I am older I will be able to have a job like you because you guys are real good at it, and it seems like you guys have a lot of fun. I have been doing a lot of artwork lately which I normally don't do and you guys are great teachers, and I wish you guys weren't leaving because I wish I could learn more from you! Thanks for helping us out, it means a lot to me, and I am never going to forget anything you guys taught me because you are the only people that there are to thanks for me finding my new talent.

It was damn good working with your company. I think we made an impression and changed some minds about buskers. A lot of this success is directly because of your participation. We'll be in touch.
Thanks again, John Mills, BuskerFest 2002

Thank you for sending the video of your work for our consideration. Our Art Show Committee enjoyed watching it. Unfortunately, we do not have the facilities to accommodate performance or installation art.
