Weatherly (top) gave the record a spin, and the Salt story has suddenly turned sweet, with college, alternative and Top 40 all giving this Chicago band a chance. With their album, American Thighs, now out, it's time to learn more about Louise Post, Nina Gordon and company. Seana Baruth talks with the band's co- founders, and her story is a Generation X-amination of how bands get formed, how they get attention, and how they deal with such issues as X-ers' fixa- tion on '70s pop artifacts and that frightening specter called the future.

GAVIN OCTOBER 28, 1994 FOR THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY WE WANTED TO PUT ON A REALLY SPECIAL EVENT AND TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Where better than New Orleans around Mardi Gras time. It's the fun city, with its own rich musical heritage, and the people there also understand the serious business of staging successful conventions.

Our host hotel is the splendid Hyatt Regency, connected to the Louisiana Superdome and just a few minutes from the French Quarter, Bourbon Street and Preservation Hall.

With a new location come fresh ideas and you can count on Gavin to stay at the leading edge in finding dynamic new ways to provide relevant learning experiences, alongside showcases of the best musical talent.

More details, such as registration rates and procedures, will be unveiled in the coming weeks but, first of all, we wanted to share with you our excitement at celebrating our 10th anniversary in style in New Orleans!
