Here is something that I have been toying with. Please review and make suggestions as how it could be better. Thank you.

North America Nelsonica with Special Guests
Venue: Museum of Pop Culture / Sky Church https://www.mopop.org//visit/venue-experiences/

Artist line up:

Pre-event and opener –

Alan Cawthorne / Stasi
Intricate, atmospheric instrumentals leading to the presentation of the hit: Lucky Spinner. A collection of Alan’s photos on display on the screen indicates the start of the show. Highlights include a best of Stasi (play list to be developed later) that covers the length of Alan’s career.

Joe Wiseman / Special Guest Planet Andy
Electro Joe / Joe Wiseman kicks off the audio-visual aspect of the show with a presentation of videos and guitar orientated songs. Guest Planet Andy performs Sausalito.

Electric Angels / Special Guest John Izzard
More Videos with the interplay of guitar, keyboards, and Miso Horney, Love You Longtime Horns. John Izzard sits in on I Want A Girl Like Bridgette Bardot.

Peter Brooks / Special Guests Worra and Major Snagg
Brooksie presents the Best of the Dreamsville Projects with Worra doing Variations on Themes of Bill & BeBop. Major Snagg / Brooksie present a couple of Be Bop songs.

NO – THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

But all the songs presented should be downloadable / available on the various artists sites *except some of the Electro Joe videos, which I cannot find anywhere. I am thinking that this is a one day only event that would include a merchandise table, presentations by the performers on song writing, recording, equipment and some story telling. There is an open bar and catered food. The event would have to end at 11 PM. I could see: AC/Stasi 6:30 – 7:45, JW/PA 8:00-8:45, EA/JI 9:00-9:45, PB 10:00 – 11:00. [The 15-minute breaks are to reconfigure the stage for the next performer.] There would have to be some open time to wander around the museum and see the exhibits.

This is from the Airport to the Westlake Center, then the Monorail to the Seattle Center where EMP/MoPop is located.

I might suggest at least a 3-day travel to and from Seattle, as you may want to take in the Space Needle and the Salish Sea to a visit to the Suquamish destination Resort & Casino. There are hotels downtown or at nearby Native Sovereign Nations economic development properties (specifically Tulalip).

Exit Music: Poem [Nelsonica 2007] Bill Nelson

Oh, I need to add Sex Clinic to the Stasi set. And I want to say Red Kites, but I cannot find it in my collection (which I need to update).

Funky Downtown Woman could close Alan's set.

I knew I wasn't ready to put forth this concept event. But my internet has been acting up and I wanted to post something.

Additional edits:

I am now leaning on including: Looking Down on Earth to Alan's set.

I found 2 Minutes to Tokyo by Electro Joe which has to be played in the Joe Wiseman set.

I am leaning toward In Your Dreams (Angelic Remix) The Architect Sketch as part of the break music. I think it adds to the atmosphere before the Electric Angels take the stage.

I know that there will be more to come, including trying to winnow down Alan's / Stasi set. I just love so much of his work.

My name is Michael and this is my perfect party.

Michael,

Looks like fun, would be great to try to pull it off, though Bob and I would need years of rehearsal to be in a position to play. (All right, I would need years of rehearsal, Bob would be okay).

I would certainly choose a different mix of EA songs and and equally split between Bob and me.
