BCM International is a consortium of four composers who strive to create high-quality literature for all concert and educational mediums. While diverse in background and stylistic approach, we share a desire to enrich the repertoire with music unbound by traditional thought or idiomatic cliché.

BCM had full virtual quorum last evening at Newm's house, where we dialed up Jim on the old video iChat for a BCM summit. We have some exciting plans for the MidWest booth this year, so if you're planning on going, make sure you come by #325 - it will be THE coolest 80 square feet on the convention floor...

Here we are - Jim (aka Captain Caveman) is on screen, and in the upper righthand corner you can see me, Eric, and Newm. Jim's grown some serious hair since I last saw him:



We then headed out for dinner. After a fine meal of No. 1 Chinese (that's the name of the place - really - and they're right), we joined a crowd of folks at the SoHo Grand for drinks and banter. The ladies in attendance refused to be photographically documented (so much wiser than the men). So, here are the less-pretty members of the evening's activities, just before we all parted for the evening:
