Performers: Allen Hulsey, Mark Hadsell, Delia Kovac, Byron Westbrook, Allie Alvarado, Sten Hösfält, Christy Edwards, and myself.

Created for Dispatx under the theme of "Improvised Maps", a series of carbon paper envelopes were created and sent to various people (some random, some found on postcard exchange websites, and some friends) all over the world. The envelopes, when returned, were marked from their trip (seen above).

These envelopes were used as scores for an improvised performance for eight electric guitars which took take place at Hogar Collection in Brooklyn, New York on November 4, 2006.
