It would be nice to get looping off to a more egalitarian start. Maybe there's hope - I thought it was cool when my neighbors had a rave and all five dj's were women.....

Better yet, let someone else do the baby-making, and we'll just park our vans near the local elementary school, dangling jammans from the window saying "C'mere kiddies, want to try a weird hobby?" kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
