the last collab fest -- collab fest 83 -- which consisted of bill beamer and myself, just the two of us, walking around downtown roanoke installing his "inconsequentials" for public discovery, took place on june 30, 2011. i decided not to organize any more collab fests after that one. counting the four unnumbered ones, there were 87 collab fest events in 3 years (the first one, the post-neo absurdist solidarity show, took place on june 25, 2008).
for me, the pansemic playhouse anti-events grew directly out of my collab fest experiences. the first one took place on july 24, 2011, less than a month after the last collab fest. within a few weeks bill beamer was participating, and would continue to contribute until i decided to end the unfinishable project, with anti-event #1465, on may 19, 2017.
