OCT. 25 2001

Been I while since I updated. This is a long complicated one.
Read it carefully my child, or you'll miss the fun and then come to me later crying that I didn't tell you when things were happening.

To some of you I've mentioned an upcoming mammoth full deployment of the NIDUS-MONAD.
Unfortunately, due to forces beyond my control, this BIG show remains indefinitely delayed in limbo.
I'll update the info here as soon as there are any new developments with that.

However

Over the course of the next few weeks there are THREE extremely entertaining events The Empire S.N.A.F.U. Restoration Project will be participating in.
These events are all things being planned by other people so I can't give you more detail than what I have here.

Scroll down slowly for info on each of these events.

THE FIRST

will occur Sunday October 28 2001 in NEW YORK CITY on board THE FRYING PAN.
Below is the official invite of the event.
