Sound Lab

We are going to soundlab tonight. They have moved to a new location on Pearl Street. I added a link to their site to links section on this page. Check it out if you want to go.

I seems to be a promising event. We had fun at the old soundlab happenings we went to plus we heard our very own Robin from the journal section is showing an experimental video. Wouldn't want to miss that. See you tonight.

The party was a success.

We had up to 60 people at any given point. Everyone was very happy it seemed. Lots of food and spirits. Holly won the best costume prize at

Not enough pictures were taken, except by Deidre (sorry if spelling's not right), who should mail us highlights (to the link on the right), or drop some by in person. Have some tea. If anyone else wants to add party picturs (hint, hint Emily, Andrea, coopers) feel free.

New Updates

The update page is extremely updates. Here it goes.

1. No more copying image code. Simply click on the image in your list and the code is automatically added to your entry.

2. No more Break tags for paragraphs. Line returns simply show up as types. Just hit enter.

3. To make a link simply type the address and it converts into a link. This has the disadvantage of not allowing you to make an image a link, but I think the speed increase in getting your thoughts and links out faster is worth it. Below is an example

Red Death Party - You Are Invited!!!

The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal or hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal -- the redness and the horrot of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were incident of half an hour. But Paul, Terry, Matthew, and Holly were happy and dauntless and sagacious. When their dominions were half depopulated, they summoned to their presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of their court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of their castellated abbeys.

You are Horridly Invited to "The Masque of the Red Death", Friday, October 31st.

Location: 567 Lafayette Avenue (enter from elmwood)

We will be celebrating Holly's Deathday.
