Mangum moved
Hot on the heels of the out-of-the-blue Thurston-Kim split comes more unexpected and bewildering news: the postponement of the Jeff Mangum-curated ATP. It had been scheduled for December, the week before the Les Savy Fav/Battles/Caribou event that I'm going to, but will now take place in March - inevitably with a slightly different line-up.
ATP initially claimed the postponement is "due to a set of extremely unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances" and have since confirmed that it wasn't at Mangum's request but that they're unable to go into any more detail. Like most people, I can't imagine what the reasons might be (or why they're not able to divulge them), but feel for those who've already made travel plans and who really deserve a proper explanation.
Still, the new slot does mean that there's a chance I might now be able to go myself. Every cloud...

We currently have space for one in our collective. Although I imagine you'll want to wait to see what the bill turns into.
I know some of the others are also looking to fill the gap so can't be sure it won't be filled prior to any decision you make.
No worries mate, I think I'll just have to play it by ear and look into the possibilities nearer the time, when I've got a better idea (a) if I've got the money and (b) if the line-up still bears some resemblance to that announced for the original weekend.
