[Bill Jarboe <billjarboe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 how do you do that ? you might ask.


 first you take a bold pen; and write 'there is no sound , there are no
ehoes'  across magazine advertisements for reverberation units(if you're not
sure how to do this consult adbusters for clues). then , say those same
words in music stores or other venues dealing in the finer points of
audio.there is no need to intoduce youself at this pnt; just bow your head
slightly in a dignified manner and then leave.

 no way . spanish speaking people are really just speaking arabic in a
gentile , rustic sort of way.'latin americans' should mean anyone one living
in the new world (wherever that is) and occasionally or most of the time
expressing an interest in latin ; be it just something from italy that
amused them* ,or certain words.

 that would be a very good idea ; maybe one of us gets to win a pair of
boots or something. maybe we could set up a contest. a famous fashion
designer sponsors us in return gets to use the winning mp3.for a fashion
show , that is.
