That's the point I addressed in my earlier post (I realize you're still catching up, Jay). I don't mind fronting the cash for printing if I could get a solid idea for the needed quantity. I guess it would be kind of the inverse of what Jay just stated. Instead of you guys trusting me with your money while the shirts get printed, I would trust you to actually pay for it if you told me you wanted one. Either way has it's merits. For fear that thrashing this out in public will turn people off to the idea and jeopordize sales, how 'bout directing t-shirt banter to me personally? thanks a whole spiffy bunch, youngsta's! -tc ******************************************* Tom Clark Apple Computer, Inc. tclark@apple.com http://www.netgate.net/~tclark "Beer is the only virtual reality I need." -Leroy Lockhorn ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Jun 1997 20:10:28 -0500 (CDT) From: Mississippi Malcolm McDowell Subject: Re: hotmail.com On Wed, 11 Jun 1997 tanter@econs.umass.edu wrote: > Has everyone else been receiving an awful of spams from addresses at > hotmail.com lately?

It probably has nothing to do with the list whatsoever. Hotmail is something of what my old laddie friend the sys admin would call a "rogue domain". That is to say without going into huge amounts of explanation that spamming is easier to do from there than many other places, therefore, much spam comes from there. Since it has never happened that I have gotten legitimate email from hotmail in the entire time I have been on the net, I simply wrote a procmail filter and presto....no more hotmail, no more spam (really, I hardly ever get it now since I sent all mail from hotmail into the land of /dev/null/ :)). If you don't know how to do this I suggest you ask your systems administrator and he or she will show you. It takes very little trouble and is -so- worth it!

You know what this is about... 1) It goes without saying that a proper screen printed shirt is MUCH better than any iron-on thing, however 90's the technology may be. If someone can think of a way to overcome the obvious logistical and economic problems they'd have my vote in a cold second. I merely offer the other option as one possible way around the volume/cost dilemma. Sadly I fear there is a far larger market for XTC shirts than there would be for Feg shirts. Life is so unfair sometimes... 2) Since Brett seems to have the money to buy embroidered leather jackets I vote he holds the stock of 300 or so shirts. (at $10 each you're in for about $3,000 Brett. OK?) 3) The quote "who are these people? They might be fiends!" is great, but "http://remus.rutgers.edu/~woj/fegmaniax/index.html"??? Really! Please Mr. woj can we have a new URL please? ;) Maybe we should just use the email address "fegmaniax@ecto.org" --after all, this is a *mailing* list is it not? 4) I STILL want a Robyn original graphic for the shirt. Is there someone out there who would mind tracking him down in C-Tack land and proposing the commission? Tell him the main themes (internet, web, fiends etc.) and see what he comes up with... On the other hand, maybe there is an existing drawing (on a cone perhaps?) we could use? 5) Yes, capuchin, sweatshirts would be neat-o too (especially in foggy San Francisco!). I'd buy one of each. (Make that two of each - it can get pretty cool here in the summer.) 6) Jay: I'm less interested in how the XTC guys did the printing, more on how they developed and agreed on the artwork, if its as good as you say--and I'm sure it is. 7) To GIF or JPEG, that is the question. I think I'll start work immediately on one of each. ~N who was not a fan club member so does not have a Thoth pin--of *any* color.

(you know, in real life i use curse words much stronger than "damn," but this list is so friendly, i generally try to restrain myself.) i know the names list is currently being compiled, but robyn's been mentioning the names of real people a lot lately. here's some from last week, though i'm sure i missed a few: Peter Sellers, Kurt Cobain, Audrey Hepburn, Gene Hackman & Andie Macdowell, Raymond Chandler, Nick Drake, Hendrix, Nick Lowe, Courtney Love, Clint Eastwood. and we can throw in Jeanne Moreau and Rush Limbaugh too. seattle setlist: Gene Hackman, Beep Beep song, Serpent, Clean Steve, Madonna, Elizabeth Jade, Jewels, Dark Princess, Glass Hotel, She Doesn't Exist, I am Not Me, Raymond Chandler, Airscape, Freeze, Kingdom.

As far as the design itself goes, it isn't really that creative, but the end result is beautiful. For those familiar with XTC, they took the chalk horse from the cover of English Settlement, and below it put "Chalkhills" (the name of the list). On the back, near the neckline, they stole the XTC logo from the same record. Pretty simple, but very nice. As you might guess, it wasn't a really hard design and not much to debate over.

I'm the Lead Developer of Rifff (the music show on Microsoft's MSN), and I've also been a huge XTC fan for 10 years. I'm writing to share the good news that the live chat with Andy Partridge will be open to **anyone** with an Internet connection, whether or not they are MSN members! Our editors are probably also writing to Chalkhills at the same time I am, but I wanted to personally pass on this news so it reached people as soon as possible, giving them time to plan for the chat. The chat is Thursday, June 12, at 1 p.m. Pacific time (4 p.m. New York time, 9 p.m. London time). If you go to http://rifff.msn.com, you'll see a link there that tells all about Andy's chat and how to access it. If you have any problems with checking this out, please email me directly at a-mattje@microsoft.com (and start the subject with the word "XTC" so I can deal with it faster). You can use any IRC chat client to participate, or use our custom chat web page if you have Win95 and Internet Explorer. Check the link out early so you can get bugs worked out before the chat actually begins. It's my goal for this chat to allow as many fans as possible to participate. Although the live chats with Rifff's guest stars are normally open only to MSN members (like the rest of the Rifff site), I kept whining until the chat was moved into the public chat space, so please do join in. THE EVIL EMPIRE Let me add two cents about Microsoft, if I may. I DO think Bill Gates and his company are too powerful, and I hope antitrust action is eventually started to limit the scope of Microsoft's businesses. At the same time, I like what Microsoft is doing in the MSN group. They are investing many millions of dollars in experiments in online content. They won't be able to make a profit on this for at least several more years (if ever; the business model has not been proven yet), but in the meantime they pay people like the Rifff team to try out new ideas. The goal of the Rifff team (95% of whom are contractors, not Microsoft employees) is to find fun, interesting ways to give people ways to interact with music personalities (like Andy). Now, it so happens in this team that in addition to the Lead Developer (that's me), our Artist Relations person and our Audio Lead are also big XTC fans. So when we all said last year that we'd love to do something with XTC, and Andy showed some interest, well... let's just say that this episode has been the bright spot that's carried me through the bouts of deadlines and stress that inevitably come up. I mean, what could be more poetically just than spending Bill Gates' money to give Andy some more exposure and cash in the bank? :-) I want to point out though that this episode was not done by our regular team here in Redmond. Rather, the job went to those lucky bastards at Flabberghasted, a London multimedia company with whom Rifff contracts to create some of our episodes (they also did Robin Hitchcock and Philip Glass, for example). For a variety of reasons it made more sense for them to create Andy's episode, and they do absolutely top-notch work. Their credits are in the Rifff site. Anyway, I just didn't want anyone to miss out on the free chat with Andy. Thanks for reading this, and enjoy! -Matt Jensen ----------------- End Forwarded Message ----------------- ------------------------------ Subject: A Draven Crowler Evening (0% DF Content) Date: Thu, 12 Jun 97 12:18:42 -0000 From: The Great Quail This may be old news - but I haven't seen it posted yet, and there are some new Fegs in our Globe of Fegs anyway, so here it goes: Recently I was re-reading James O'Barr's original "Crow" comic. Though I read it when it first came out (Thereby establishing my pre-movie credibility and invoking a certain aura of "cool") I had totally forgotten about the constant references to music throughout the text. (Thereby quickly blowing my aura of cool.) The whole lyrics are printed to not only songs by Joy Division and the Cure, but our man's "Raymond Chandler Evening" is also printed in full during the episode entitled "Velocity." And shortly after that song is quoted, the Crow - Eric Draven - says to a bad guy's girlfriend, "Get dressed, Miss Skin, before the space between us turns into tigers." Coming so closely on the heels of a full-blown Robyn song, I doubt that was coincidental. (As in "The Shapes Between Us Turn into Animals" from Globe of Frogs.) Cool, eh? O'Barr is a Robyn Fan! Too bad they didn't use one of those songs on the Crow soundtrack. . . . The Quail PS: For those of you that don't read comics, O'Barr's "The Crow" was very good - much darker, wittier, haunting, and literate than the movie. (I *liked* the movie; but the comic is still better.) ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- The Great Quail, K.S.C. | TheQuail@cthulhu.microserve.com | "Keeper of the Libyrinth" | Sarnath - The Quailspace Web Page: riverrun Discordian Society | http://www.microserve.net/~thequail 73 De Chirico Street | Arkham, Orbis Tertius 2112-42 | ** What is FEGMANIA? ** "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." -- H.P.

I don't know how Butch and I got her phone number, but if we could get ahold of her at her apt., she was very kind about giving us info we needed, tho admittedly on a much smaller scale than the list.

Of she gets the lyrics to "Happy the Golden Prince" or "Uncorrected Personality Traits," then you should really worry. I don't have any Robynesque tatoos - though that little Fegmania feathery winged critter has been tempting me for years - but a friend of mine has this idea. She honestly wants to meet Robyn and have him draw a small design on her body in permanent black marker. Then she will immediately get it tattooed into her. This, by the way, is the same woman who asked if I stole the sani-cake from the urinal Robyn had just used, so the limitations of her fandom are already at questionable boundaries. . . .

Why don't you ask Bill?

Looks like you took my message title a little too literally, 'ol buddy! I suggest you go back through and read through few digests and maybe try to pick up on the *tone* of this list before you post again. Almost without exception the folk on this list are friendly, intelligent and witty. People use humor for gentle jibes at each other, as friends do. Never for malicious intent. If you were a little more "tuned-in" I think you would not have mistaken my comment for a put-down - which it was certainly not intended to be. No offense taken, and I hope, none given. ~N ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Jun 1997 11:51:20 -0700 From: Debora Subject: Re: Feg Digest V5 #126 Scott Hunter McCleary wrote: > > Reminded me of a question I keep thinking to ask when I'm not in close > enough proximity to the computer to ask it: are there any Fegs with > Robyn-related bodyart? Of possible interest to The Great Quail, I do have that little feathery winged critter tattoed - well, I won't mention where. Debora, who would consider doing things that make her shudder to be given the chance to show Robyn her tattoo, although she'd probably be too shy to (and who also loves the idea of having him draw on her skin the next one she gets, but - same problem again) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The End of this Fegmaniax Digest. *sob* .
