[xfer]

is nagle still in philly?

i wish i could come up for this show.

 

[pixiesfan]

if you pay for gas, room and board

can the Mia Toby experience come to your home?

 

[rachmiel]

i know mia, but toby wrote the music that's why i put it that way. what if i put on flyers (feat. mia matsumiya on violin)
otherwise, i would be happy to put both your name on the flyer.

 

[rachmiel]

ps. yes nagle is still in philly and im trying to encourage people to road trip up for this show. we need to pack the place out!

 

[coelacanth_M]

sorry, that's what i meant. toby wrote the entire thing and i'm obviously not trying to take credit as having composed it in any way, haha, but i did work super-super-superhard on the piece and after touring with it and everything, i would feel a little hurt if my name were omitted all together as a performer (you can even make my name microscopic, just as long as it's there somewhere!), especially since i see the piece as a duet act, at least in the performance sense. i guess it's really up to toby!

 

[coelacanth_M]

hmmm... what about something like "60 Metonymies, performed by the composer, Toby Driver, on guitar and Mia Matsumiya on violin"... or is that too long-winded? too many commas?

 

[FuSoYa]

titles like that, with all the commas, remind readers of journalism of the early 20th century, and President Wilson's soothing but excited radio voice.

 

[xfer]

How about "Toby Driver's "60 Metonymies", featuring Mia Matsumiya on violin"?

 

[xfer]

although I guess then "60 Metonymies" sounds like a band name.

forbes, I'll look into coming up, but it's in the last week of real school for me before exam week, so I couldn't take off Friday or Monday probably, and getting to Boston at midnight on Friday and leaving at noon on Sunday is way lame.

 

[CATL]

Is the Toby Driver Experience featuring Mia Matsumiya on violin ever going to make it to Seattle? I was really bummed that the last tour didn't make it here.

 

[xfer]

"Toby Driver and the Mia Matsumiyas"

 

[FuSoYa]

you should just probably put Mia's name since she's the one people are going to come see anyway

 

[xfer]

MIA MATSUMIYA feat. t. driver

 

[Astral Poetry]

I know you guys are just enthralled at the idea of performing a tour of the southwest i.e. Texas where there is the biggest audience i.e. me

I learned in english that when writing a letter of request/complaint, by putting a statement of how you expect the content to be fulfilled, you subliminally affect the reader

 

[coelacanth_M]

bahaha!

MIA MATSUMIYA
(featuring t.d.)

 

[xfer]

can you use FLASH tags on the posters for this? just sayin.

 

[FalseTodd]

how about the entire flyer just says:

MIA, ET AL

 

[AndICried]

The "Mia Toby / Toby Mia Experience" should become a catchphrase (if not already).
