How muchy wuchy?

$15/$12

i went along last night, .. very goddamm wicked .. absolute must, .. go see,

Thats pretty good huh? Well on your recommendation I might go. Looks cool

ya wount regret it

yeah cant wait. very expensive though.

ya pays ya money ya takes ya chances

Alba, as in Ezra Pound's "as cool as the pale wet leaves, of lily of the valley, she lay beside me in the dawn"?
What a damn fine contrast in jusxtaposition with the title "black body"!
(unless I'm completely off on my own tangent)
Briefly looked over the web site, looks facinating.
Me wants very much looksy at show.
Will it be touring to Chch?
P.S. Still haven't set up ICQ, but will e-mail you some time later. I've spent the past four weeks without sleep furioulsy typing on the computor 24/7 , it'll take me a while before I can sit down in front of this machine without feeling ill.

i know how you feel - i get fairly pc weary often times

black body might tour... nice call with the old ezra pound btw

7 shows to go... video mixing is getting very smooth and trancing... an hour of constant attention and improvising goes fast

Hope there will be much leg breaking (such a violent term, why?) for your remaining shows,
and after that, get yourselves down here to Chch!

it's moments like these....

hey everybody come along and see "Black Body" at bats - we're probably fully booked but come any way - we'll squeeze u in - say ed invited you!!! - and if you come to the 9pm show you get to hang around afterwards and help us strike the set (take that you nasty set - SLAP!)

what better way to get to meet the underbelly of wellington's seedy thespian pack of try-hards than to knuckle down with them in the pits of their depravity after closing night

so romantic and exotic
