Hello, you are reading the Blade Informational File. We lik
e to call it
The Edge, or sometimes, when we feel wacky, we call it Th
e Motherfucking
Edge. Neither of the two should be confused with the guita
rist from U2,
The Edge.
Im Edicius, and I write Literature for Blade. You may not
know me, but
Ive been in Blade for a few months now. My arrivial may ha
ve slipped
Mindcrimes mind, because he never put anything about my com
ing to Blade in
any of the previous Edges.
HEY HOOCH. I THINK WE FOUND SOMEONE MORE IRRITATING THEN Y
OU.
Now, I really dont have much to talk about. Ive noticed i
n past issues of
The Edge, this space has been graced with the prescence of
saints, of
amazing artists, of people worthy to be in Blade.
Then I came along.
So, if youre looking for someones t0p teyn anzi gr0upz!,
look at some
Ansi Mag. If youre looking at someone to rate ansis, look
at someone else.
If you want to find out who I am, look at someon-
Oh wait, shit. I screwed that up. Lets try that again.
.. to rate ansis, look at someone else. If you want to find
out who I am,
look no further!
Im Edicius. Ive been in this thing called the art scene
for over a year
and a half. The whole time Ive done the thing I do best, a
nd that is
Literature. If youre looking for one of those literazure
iz n0t an
artf0rm! debates, dont look here. I dont argue with mind
less ruffians,
and Id toast them in a debate, anyway. Ive done ascii, b
ut Im past that
stage. I realized how much I sucked in that field.
As far as groups that Ive been in, I was in Broken. Then,
after Grey Hawk
and I killed it, I was in Cia. I was a Literature Coordin
ator there until
August. Then, in September, I left Cia and joined Blade. T
hats where I
stand now.
Hey, speaking of Broken. This month marks the one year anni
versary of its
death. Yah! Lets have a revial. Lets call it Broken/2
. Lets make
fun of Acid and Ice.. Yay!
If you never saw a Broken pack, heres some of the people wh
o had their
roots in Broken, or were in Broken at one point: Chromatik,
Diehard, myself,
Grey Hawk, Mistawho, um, and some others. I forget.
Well, its about time I go and visit your sister.
Just a few shoutouts before I go:
MiNDCRiME SUB-ZER0H: DEx/D! WEZ BE KICKN IT WIF MAD SH
IT. ACiD FEARS!
BELiAL: WATCH OUT FOR THE CHEESE.
GREY HAWK: GOOD LUCK IN CiA. DONT FORGET TO GET MY ANZI!
S0UL SEEKER: RAVENHILL FOREVER!
BLADE F00LZ: KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, MiNDCRiME WILL GIVE YOU
A C00KIE.
ACiD/iCE/CiA/UNiON/TRiBE/GRiM/iNDiGO/TURB0/V0R: BEST 0 LUCK
IN DA 96.
