Folks who are participating in the soundwalks tomorrow may also want to know about the “Open Streets” event happening that day, too… to learn more:

It had been my intention to post a report about my experience at the CASE symposium and retreat, but never found the time to do it. In its place I’d like to leave a reminder that Hildegard Westerkamp’s “Random Thoughts and Impressions,” with photographs by Finnish Society for Acoustic Ecology (FSAE) board member Noora Vikman, can be read and seen at http://interact.uoregon.edu/MediaLit/WFAE/library/newsarchive/2009/04_july_august/retreat.htm or downloaded as a PDF from http://interact.uoregon.edu/MediaLit/WFAE/library/newsarchive/2009/04_july_august/HW_retreat.pdf
Blair Kamin’s article in the Chicago Tribune today announced that the senseless destruction continues: http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/theskyline/2009/11/more-gropius-buildings-at-reese-are-demolished-preservationists-plan-a-protest-next-week.html
“The Gropius in Chicago Coalition plans a protest on Tuesday, Nov. 24, near Chicago’s City Hall. For more information, you can email the coalition’s director, Grahm Balkany, at gbalkany@gropiuschicago.com.”
Thúy Ngo from the Chicago Underground Library posted this Nov. 20 report and photos from the soundwalk here on the CUL’s blog: http://underground-library.org/?p=833
