Notes
I think "THE HOUSE" refers to 2872 Danielsville Road, and "we're looking at another one" refers to the giant giveaway house (which we eventually sensibly decided we couldn't do).

Hey Karen!
Where to start?
MUSIC BIZ. Ok. Well. "Mother of God" consists of Dave-whose-last-name-I-can-never-remember-though-I-have-it-written-down-somewhere on drums, Dan on bass and vocals, Tim on guitar and vocals, and myself on keys and vocals.

THE HOUSE. We're still not finished with all the interior details of this one and we're already looking at another one.

Well, I had been intending to print this thing out and send it off days ago, but my hard disk (the large one at work) arrived back from the shop and I needed the printer back at work, and I haven't yet had the foresight to take this file into work so I can print it.
I should probably mention (especially in view of the postcard you sent) that I've been doing ad layout part-time for The Athens Observer, the weekly paper Livia works for (she started out as typist, I think I mentioned, and is now "Business Manager" i.e. the accounting department). Most of it is on Macs, but there are always logos and things which need to be waxed & stuck on.

I almost forgot to mention -- Livia and I found a copy of Birdie at the local Blockbuster video, and rented it forthwith. So now I've seen it.
I think we're about to head into work, so I'll finish this off now.
Cheers,
