thats to bad as I like to play out often and I equally like to put on
shows... looks like I would have to make friends with people in teh art
galleries... is the who run the purple institute originally candians?
there was this interesting gallery/artist co-op in toronto canada 10 years
ago or maybe longer by that same name and the people who ran it
disappeared. I wounder if this is people who I know.

this is true but Im not american, I live in canada and find both le pen
and bush to be sad excuses for political leaders... as for the NF at elast
your telling me that there is oposition to this cancer... as being of
jewish background does not play very favorbly in the eyes of NF members..

1500 euros is living well meaning what exactly?
does that mean, this pays my rent and expensis and I never have money to
do any thing or does 1500 a month mean I can do things, go to a gig,
dinner or buy a cd every so often?
