have you had a chance to read my responses? i'd be more than happy to add to it. or if you have more questions let me know. i rushed because i thought maybe you needed them that evening. i can polish it up some if you need. thank you so much for thinking of me for it.
are you going to mention 'the international cd swap'? i wish we had a logo. like a motorcycle gang patch!
p.s. did you guys get a chance to hear the trafozsatsfm preview?

you know i did, and that i can't wait to hear the whole thing!

is that just the UN logo john?? it needs something added that indicates its a music club, and maybe a fake australia somewhere in the pacific ocean there at the bottom left...

ignore that last one, it looks like an odd polar view from the south except the continents are upside down (can see south america and australia, i think...)

yeah i was confused about that too. i almost put little stars over our respective cities. did you notice that the blue un globe and the white globe are different? i got them both from an u.n. website, why would they have different globes? the continents are even different shapes. it's like two different worlds all together.
it's a little scary that the u.n. isn't even sure how the world is laid out. i dated a girl who's mum swore the continents were shaped much different than what is thought, due to the looking down from space and not taking account for the curvature. she had this map that showed africa showed as a football shape and florida fat and short. strangely resembling early 18 century nautical maps.

ha ha ha, who found the picture of the '1960s melbourne family'?? i will have to scan in one of an adelaide family from the 70s (us!)...

at the top of the blog is a button that says "next blog" i love it! i just picks pages at random. there is everything from a blog about a French canadian woman's garden, to a south American grand fathers page about his grandkids.i found a few linked together about a club of lesbian bakers. there's pages on everything from pictures of miniature boats, to some guys favorite porn photography. i'll spend hours clicking that button and looking into other people lives. the other day i found a page by a girl that just talks about random things she likes. she put up that photo that said "a family in melbourne in the 1960's, before me, before divorce"
