Hello List,

First let me say that i damn excited i found this
list. I really like the multi-genre aspect of it and
people are really helpful. I am getting cozy with my
echoplex and am getting ready for a show. I thought I
would put the word out in case any of you were here in
Chicago. It should be a really great event and it's
free.
