BL/┤DE '94 Presents - The Edge: The Official Blade Information File.

JUNE

This is the Blade Info File. A monthly publication from Blade Productions.
This file outlines the past months happenings of Blade.................
This text is written by MindCrime, Blade founder and president. If there
are any spelling or grammatical errors within this text, please remember
that MC is only human, as are most other people. Blade is a group much like
that of iCE or ACiD [At least, we like to think so] which releases a monthly
pak of the prior months work [Or something like that]. Blade paks are released  on the first of each month [They can be found at any one of our lovely
distribution sites]. If you wish to contact Blade in any way, please
call Eternal Insanity @ 908.224.8780; All blade members can be reached
on Ei. If you like the work of Blade, let us know. Leave a message to
MindCrime at his lame ass internet address............[MCBLADE@DELPHI.COM]
or call up Eternal Insanity . Enjoy the pack.

1] Many changes have taken place in the art scene in the past few months.
Blade has idly sat back and watched whats been taking place and as
president, I have especially been watching the way other groups are run.
Alot of shit has been going on between groups, but out of it have come
greater competitions and several excellent ideas. Personally, I like
what has come out of these changes: Quality. Ice produced one of the
nicest paks I've ever seen last month, and tribe had some very
insperatoinal material as well as an excellent new viewer. I have
desided to impliment some of these changes into my group. But, rather
than give them k-rad names, we'll simply make use of the systems. Ice's
"US" system seems like a great idea, and tribes "Tribe Pride" is also
something that would be usefull to the groups. A sence of pride in your
group is needed, rather than all this crap of battles between groups
and seeking fame and glory by starting your own new megagroup. Blade
will soon impliment many of these new systems and the end result will
be nothing but quality. However, Blade will in no way take part in the
senseless bashing of others, or battles between groups. We're here
to produce quality art for the art freaks to admire, and we will never
stop doing so. Enjoy the pak and the new changes.

2] This month, Blade introduces a new idea from the mind of Flûx. Blade
Has always been a source of good literature, and now we would like to
introduce something new. In each Blade pak we will release one text
which contains a peice of literature from a modern poet. This months
literature is #1_RILKE.PIK. I think you'll like it.

3] The Blade viewer [BV] will not be released until we feel that it ranks
with TV,XV,and ACiDViEW. These are excellent viewers, and as always
quality is our main consern. We're not out to compete, but theres no
sense in releasing something that isn't top quality.

4] This summer, one of Blade's premier artists, Soul Seeker, will be taking
a hiatus from the scene and heading off to India. We hope he has some
serious fun and is back and ready to draw before fall.

5] New members this month include HOOPTiE, who comes to us and brings some
of his classic ansi and vga skills. The master of DREADLoC was looking
for a new group to kick back in. Deletions this month: The Dark Half, who Ihaven't heard from in ages; D. Control has been takin off courier status,
but will stay on lit util I decide to take him off (I also haven't heard
from him in over a month); and Ziggy is taken off the Courier list due to
inactivity. After a long stay with Blade, we are sad to say that The Exile
has left to pursue a spot on the CiA member list. He never produced for
Blade but was a constant help in several areas. Flux will be taking his
position as Blade Senior Staff in charge of Literature. Congrats to Flux.

6] That about concludes it for this month. I'd like to thank all the people
who worked hard on this pak and on Blade in its rise to power. We wouldn't
be here without them.
