Dear Friends, Family, Fellow Aliens,
Two updates:
1.
You can now cast your online vote for our new band name.
We've received roughly 78 new name suggestion. Out of that bunch, a
randomly assigned panel of apprx 15 dudes and guidettes compiled their
favorite top ten, posted on our site. You can only see the results
after casting your vote. The poll closes and automatically displays
results on March 1st.
That's on:

2.
Christoph sits comfortably on a panel discussion this coming Tuesday
night at the Cargo Cafe. It's about creating art in your community. Fellow
participants are Emcee C.M., Tattfoo Tan amd Chen Tamir. The panel is
organized by (new) COAHSI whirlwind Ginger Shulick. She's really
shaking that old fossil! They suddenly have a website and a
newsletter that's worth checking out.
So most Staten Islanders will ask: What is a panel A? panel is where
academics and slackers sit on an elevated platform, enjoying free
drinks. Ordinary people sit in the room and may ask questions they
always wanted
to ask: "Lemmy ax you this: you artists get laid all the time. Why you
don't have babies?"
Artist: "Ah, well, that's ... oh sorry, I have to take this phone call
[
not right now, I'm on a panel, YES, call you later, love you too]
, what was the question again Ah yes, umh, anybody really can be an
artist. Most people don't know that but we mostly draw by numbers. And
the inspiration naturally comes when drinking a lot. That's also not
hard to do!"
OK, enough of that. Here's the information:
