Post-performance notes by Tom Sherman:

This story is about two self-appointed monitors, two men who monitor
their world and share their observations. From his home KARL QR442 keeps
an eye on Maynard Orlick through an outdoor webcam. Orlick is a street
listener, a man packing an inordinate amount of radio gear. Orlick is
drawn to the exposure zone of the webcam as a means of amplifying his
presence as a listener, a monitor. He wants to be observed, but does not
know KARL QR442 is tracking him. Neither are technically employed as
professional surveillants. In fact they both are self-motivated to
perform diligent, methodical acts of surveillance on their immediate
environment. They are serious and obsessive.
