I dunno. I think that that's kind of TOO to the point & cryptic & no good at introducing new people, like Vika was saying. I think one that elaborates a *little* more would be better in the interests of anticliquishness.

Maybe a combination of #2 and #3? I don't have a preference as to shape, but I like the cleanness of #3. I'd like the newsgroup, IRC channel, and website as part of it, personally--if someone is online and a fan, they'd likely want to know details. ceecee ------------------------------ Date: 23 Aug 1998 23:38:54 GMT From: nasust@aol.com (NasusT) Subject: Re: Cover tune wish list After watching a Behind the Music special on David Cassidy last night on VH-1 (yeah, so what?), I now have a really cheesy cover wish...."I'll Meet You Halfway".

Despite going contrary to the whole idea of identifying yourself as an ng'er by a specific pin, you'd be going head to head w/Fruvous for merchandise, and that's uncool.

Instead of implying "we're special and cool" it implys - "hey, we're having fun; come join us - here's how!" If you want to cut down on the writing, take off the album titles, although it could be fun to have an evolving pin as more albums come out..

Hey-who!! I'm planning on going, despite the fact that they'll be playing a 5-min. walk from my house the Thursday afterwards - it just sounds like too darned much fun, plus I wanna see Halifax! However, I'll be flying (stand-by, which is why I say I'm "planning"on going - if I can't get a flight, I won't be there...), so I can't ride water pistol with you, although it sounds like an experience! But, if you go, I'll see you there!! I'll have AN ng pin on - old style if the new pin hasn't been fixed by then.
