Dear Friends,
I received a year-end newsletter-in-a-holiday card and, rather than just copy from it, I'll attempt one here.
Almanac, 2004:
Earth's northern hemisphere's shortest day approaches, suggesting a sun birth, something along the lines of, "For unto us a sun is born..."
The days enlarge through the winter, but December is named for the 10th month (sept, oct, nov, dec)? So 11 is Jan and 12 is Feb, and this year's 12th is a leap year. Happy upcoming birthday, leap year babes! It is also our real New Year's Eve!
As for now, Happy Kwanikamas! (tm antifolk.net)
Cinema VII has a handy review of year 2003 at http://www.cinemavii.com/Events/EventHorizon.htm.
May I here highlight the wedding of Diana and Peter? Remember, to those who think it will never happen, stay alive!
This year's Jean Cocteau offshoot, the ballet with dialogue, "The Marriage at The Statue of Liberty," is now available to help fundraise the statue's reopening. Post production of four colorful performances has resulted in a watchable video/dvd!
Olive Juice Music released "Songs of The Golf Wars," which has received favorable year-end attention by The Yale Herald and London based TrakMARX.
Now, when shall we see each other? -- perhaps at one of the following events appearing in the near sunrise event horizon:
