Robert Fripp's Diary

Apartment Quite Acceptable, Buenos Aires.

09.21

12.45      Meeting with Hernan, Mariana, Ignacio and Martin to discuss an arising notion of the morning: a possible RF & The LCG visit to the US. Is this a good idea, or a bright idea? How might this be approached?

From our shows here, there are very good audience reports, and a large proportion of the audience are the younger generation.

This is the request, spoken in Spanish (translation by Kabusacki) at the beginning of performances:

Ladies, Gentlemen, Friends & Family,
A request from Robt. Fripp & The League of Crafty Guitarists –
Many thanks for your presence & your interest in our work. Please give us your ears. Please do not take photographs, on cameras or mobile telephones; with or without flash. This disturbs our work to a greater degree than it is possible to simply explain, or you might believe, were we able. Please also, do not record or film.

So, if you will, relax & enter our performance space with goodwill. We need your support.

Robt. & The L.C.G.

13.08  There are now 22 committed to tithing.

There is some discussion in the American community: how to support (possibly) two GC Houses? If a choice needs to be made, a straightforward and simple answer presents itself: support the House that holds greater value for you. If there is not sufficient support for the other, it will not happen. This is also straightforward, simple.

13.11  There are now 23 committed to tithing.

14.57  Three members of the Team have visited for lunch. Discussions of past, present and future arisings.

Walk-in Soundscapes of a different variety this evening, with different Magic Numbers and treatments. Following the suggestion of Alain Pinero, these are SoundSculptures.

A good show, a very good audience, with a superb onstage sound by Mr. Beefy of BeefProd.

Godson Jack Willis came to the performance, and visited his new League pals afterwards...

… and his Godfather…

A question asked at the post-performance supper: why do we serve alcohol at our meals? No answer was given in response. The likely default answer, then, is that we are being visited by a drummer seeking free food and liquor.

I returned alone. Mr. Beefy, usual apartment-returning Car Buddy, has remained with the Team on this Saturday night for moderate raving of the Mr.-Beefy-in-Buenos-Aires variety. The friendly driver, as customarily, engaged in conversation with me in the back seat, looking me in the eyes via the rear-view mirror, as he drove. Fortunately, tonight there was no careering ‘Bus of Terror to induce screaming. So, moderate twitching only.

A relatively early evening, and to bed.
