4/25 thru 4/30
San Diego and Los Angeles, California

All pd_LAunch events will be “free and open” to everyone, as much as space and facilities permit. For some events that will be limited by space, we will be providing some signup lists — details forthcoming.

Some events and highlights already planned for pd_LAunch:

* VIP guests: Miller Puckette, Hans-Christoph Steiner, Chris McCormick, Natacha Diehls … more invitations are “in the hopper” as well.
* Opening reception/build/video-slam at UCSD with Miller Puckette Monday April 25 (San Diego)
* “puredata gym-full” Family Night at the Long Beach Boys and Girls Club Wednesday Apr 27
* panel discussion with Miller Puckette and puredata developers Saturday afternoon Apr 30
* concert/party/reception “Music with Miller Puckette and Friends” Saturday evening Apr 30 (Miller Puckette, Natacha Diehls, Chris McCormick and more …)
* workshops and demonstrations by Hans Steiner, Chris McCormick, Miller Puckette and others are being arranged … These will be based on what the interest/registrations indicate and depending on what spaces/venues in LA can be arranged. (Some spaces larger than the CRASHspace location may be required.)
* A “goody bag” and other items available for pd_LAunch sponsors/RSVP‘rs/contributors to include a 20-lecture puredata video course by Miller Puckette, pd_LAunch souvenirs made on the CRASHspace Makerbots, live-USB sticks ready to boot-up and run Linux/pd on any computer etc etc.
* “Store-front music” a transformation of the street-front of CRASHspace into an
interactive puredata experience, following up on the CRASHspace smash-hit effort for VIMBY. (Get your patch out on the street …)

I like this. "Pd kids are people, too!"

Actually, this whole event sounds pretty awesome.

I know the documentation of pd-Launch was quite iffy. But perhaps someone could let me know if it's been uploaded anywhere yet and, if so, where to find it. Also, I remember some usb sticks where for sale at some point with a supposed 20 lecture course by Miller. Any way I can find that somewhere too?

Strange, it seems to work over here (audio and graph). Maybe you could resize the graph a bit because tcl/tk (the library used to give pd its visual aspect) sometimes lags behind... But that's really a very wild guess...
