As far as the parking goes we did the same thing.. when i went to see
supernova there our car got towed.. taking no chances this time. As far as
when they let people in.. we didn't get there till half way in to "captured
by robots!" first song, and i was on the list anyway so i didn't worry
about tickets. No money for merchandise, oh well.

I gave Birdstuff (still not sure if we are allowed to use real names in
here) a pile of my zine's. He and Proto Unit V3 were very impressed by the
job i did.  Birdstuff said he had seen captured by robots on strange
universe and loved the show.

The drummer from FH hill co. is mike mchugh.. who recorded the new
supernova and part of the new servotron. There is an article on his
recording studio in the new issue of my zine.

The silly human in "women's sunglasses" was geoff harrington of FiLmStAr
fame. He used to run Saturation studios where supernova recorded all of
their origional material with Hayden in the band. Saturation has since
become the distillery, which mike mchugh from fh hill co runs.

>Brutal, but funny.  A quote from Proto Unit V-3:

I was the one who got torn apart by the robots after yelling "your momma
was an atari!" I was expecting it though. Overall It was a great show but i
missed the lack of constant humor and audience interaction, like there was
at the last 2 supernova shows. For a while there was pretty much silence
and clapping from the crowd for servotron, but i still loved it.

I appologise for the grammar and spelling in this e-mail
