i went to a little show at a little cafe, where there were five (i think)
computer-generated (with lots of human help, i'm sure) engineering
diagrams, for machines and circuits and things, which were actyally very
beautiful if you looked at them long enough. above each was a plexiglass
dome projecting music, which really caused you to look at the drawings in
a very perticular way. for example, with one, the music actually cuased
you to see and follow certain curves and colors. the music ranged from
the cranberries to opera.

and there was free hors d'ourvres type food. which just topped off the
experience.

reed, trevor, rev. kommodore i. s. konnundrum ksc kfc, and creeg, if you
so desire. pleased to meat all of you.
