Mistigris 1996 - Lost but not forgotten.
. 1. Big enough? And how big is TOO bi
g? .
: The thought may strike you
as you peruse this pack :
+.. that it is quite a humdinger. Espe
cially considering that ..+
. we still dont have an issue of Kithe ready
to release to .
you. In that respect, we do have some
thing cooking for
..+ next month, but for now were keeping it on the
back +..
. burner. It is as such that we offer unto you an
: unusually informative infofile. Informatio
n in the :
+.. infofile? What a novel concept...
In any event, these ..+
. parentheses are getting tedious so I should
cut to the .
chase.
. The pack measures up as our second-largest p
ack .
: release to date, dwarfed only by the January
1996 pack on :
+.. which four times as many months wer
e spent amassing art. ..+
. The size is partially accountable for variou
s factors - .
our returning practise of including the a
pplication
..+ generator in the pack, our lengthy file seperato
rs, and, +..
. oh yeah, Foolish Birds half-meg song 8. We assure
you .
: however that the size reflects the quality o
f the work :
+.. presented, and while the music and
high resolution may ..+
. make the archive size bigger and transfer ti
me longer it .
is also well worth listening to and looki
ng at,
..+ respectively. It is as such that I will urge yo
u not to +..
. overlook this pack merely because of the size.
+.. 1a. Propaganda in the form of a sli
p in logic. ..+
This fails to take into account o
f course the
..+ fact that you would not be reading this infofile
had you +..
. not downloaded the pack 8. If you do think that it
was .
: worth the precious seconds drained away from
your :
+.. lifespan, please reccommend it to y
our brethren, spread ..+
. it around to BBSes and FTP sites, or even co
ntribute to .
it in the form of a guest artist or yea,
even a member.
: 2. News of the group? Group of the news?
Fruit of the Loom? :
. This pack represents the full awaken
ing of our .
promising new members Neophyte, Weird, T
rinity as well
..+ as the final promenades of some old favorites M
avrik, +..
. KesTrel, Lord Maximoff and finally some unexpected
guest .
: cameo appearances from former Legend, Integr
ity, and :
+.. Mistigris member Questor and from l
it tycoon ..+
. extraordinaire Schtroumpf of Cenobite, as we
ll as a quite .
expected guest appearance from Fire membe
r and former
..+ Mistigris member The Extremist from when he sta
yed at my +..
. house at the terminus of his cross-Canada hitchhikin
g .
: trip. We all enjoyed our summer thoroughly,
aside from :
+.. that little incident when that fier
y rift opened up in the ..+
. earth and swallowed Nitnatsnoc, Silent Knigh
t and Genocide .
Kitten whole to work out their difference
s. Were sure
..+ that given time, and a few pick-axes, theyll be
come the +..
. best of buddies. .
+.. I cant reveal too much of
our other affairs ..+
. without disclosing the contents of the pendi
ng Kithe .
issues, but I can tell the music-lovers o
ut there to watch
..+ out for our TRACKERFIX 96 music disk release o
fun. +..
. Useful utils of all sorts are coming close to fruiti
tion, .
: so be sure to pluck them before they go all
soft and :
+.. bruisy. Things may be slowing down
a bit as we all get ..+
. back to school and goofing off on someone EL
SEs time, but .
our fantabulous TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY pack
is coming up and
..+ we hope to make it quite a special little archiv
e indeed. +..
. If anyone feels like helping me make it special plea
se .
: contact me. And no, we dont need anyone t
o come out of :
+.. the cake - we already got Mage to d
o it. He figured that ..+
. after us using his cake for two years he may
as well get .
some milage out of it as well.
. 2a. Bibble. .
+.. As I am writing this, I hav
e not had any sleep for ..+
. 42 hours. Gee, how could we tell? This m
ay at least .
partially explain the unusual lucidity of
the contents of
..+ this letter. +..
: 2b. Is this lame or what? :
. As Mistigris will be celebrating the
2nd .
anniversary of its first release, so even
sooner will The
:.+ Screaming Tomato be celebrating its big two at t
he end of +.:
.. August. Any art for this wonderful boar
d would assuredly ..
: be appreciated. And other members wanting a
rt for their :
+.. boards will of course simply have t
o leave subtle hints ..+
. contained within their works. I write the i
nfofile, I .
get to abuse the privelige 8
. 3. The Member, and How to Swing it. .
+.. note: gee, that seems eve
n more appropriate. I ..+
. should use more Tom Jones-related bulletin h
eaders. It .
seems to work well. Then again, anything
involving Tom
..+ Jones is destined to succeed. Hey, does this me
an that +..
. were going to get underwear thrown at us? .
+.. Ahem. What follows will be
as precise a list as ..+
. possible of current Mistigris members. Wher
e applicable, .
we will display their e-mail addresses ne
xt to their
..+ names. Handy, huh? +..
: A disclaimer would also be in order to the
word :
+.. that although having your name om
itted from this list does ..+
. not constitute expulsion, you certainly have
nt been at the .
front of Cthulus mind recently and that
perhaps you should
..+ do something to remedy the situation. +.
