i guess i co uld give you some big ex- planation as to why we have a name that means 'lack of  interest'. i could say that the group as a whole doesn't give a flyi ng fuck about the scene, or it's politics, or anything, we just w ant to produce art (yeah, where haven't you heard *that* 50 times bef ore), i could say we just want to have fun. all that stuff is true,  but actually we picked 'apathy' just because it sounds cool. 3. the members! okay, the new apathy roster ha s changed quite a bit from the original version, and these are the guys..  misfit! yeah, that's me. i used to go by saint sinner, i'm in union, mOp, and trank (for ascii). i smoke pot, i do acid, and i occasionally  sit down at my 'puter and pretend i can draw.. w00p! nivek ogre! the artist formerly known as b0rys ( tafkab?).. he's pretty cool. i first started talking to him when we both were  in eden, and we've been pretty good friends ever since. he was in a l ocal 609 group called fume, but that was going nowhere, so when i aproa ched him about restarting apathy, he said 'sure, why not?' and here he is.. yip! apocalypse! i approached him on irc about joinin g, and with disco kind of dying, he said he'd do some shit for me.. he's mostly  a font artist (and a damn good one), and now he's branching off into a scii, and full ansi pics.. yahoo! blenderhead! i called todd up one night and ask ed him if he wanted to do some shtuff for apathy, he said yes, so here he is..  he's also in union, and he'll be doing some rip and ansi for us, as  well as doing some ascii.. wewp! captin! another rip/ansi guy, he actually came t o me and asked to join (whoa ;).. he's in two other groups, stab and mOp, but h e gave me like six logos for this pack, so i can't complain ;).. sh00p! ewheat! this guy's cool. he does ansi and ascii,  he was (is?) in disco for telecom, and he's here to do some dope art for us.. lewop! iridescent! it's tim! ;) he kicks ass at fonts, does some pics, and he decided he wanted to do some shiznit for us.. he's als o senior staff of the new group warner studios which should kick ass (s hameless plug) heh.. he used to be in vapor, but i guess that group' s dead now or something.. ahwell.. nee! sir death! anudda ex-vapor homey, he was in a sh ort-lived group called 'aptitude' but it's dead, so he's doin' some killer asci i and ansi for us (see that apathy logo up top? he did that ;).. i haft a admit, when i first saw his ansi in a vapor pack, i didn't like it much, but he's gotten hella better, so here he is.. dink! village idiot! damn.. vill's been in the scene f or like, ever ;)..nah, it's actually been about two years, but he's been in a  ton of groups (the names tribe, cia, and eden pop to mind).. he kick s mucho ass at ansi, and he's one of the coolest guys in the scene.. he  released shit loads of work in last month's cia pack, so he didn't  have anything ready for this pack, but just wait for next month.. yay! cidica! our loveable mascot! he's so cute.. we'l l be selling cidica merchandise (such as backpacks, stuffed cids, and cidica  (tm) brand ribbed-on-the-inside-for-his-pleasure disposable condoms ) some time in the near future ;).. shwing! 3«. nads! my balls hurt for some reason. just th ought i'd share that. 4. the boards! i think i'm gonna go with the no  distros thing, just head- quarter boards, and member boards. anywho, until my boar d pOo! goes up sadistic temple (run by vital chaos) is gonna be the temp world hq. all other hq sites are currently open, find me and do t he appropriate amount of ass-kissing and maybe i'll give ya one, i dunn o. oh yeah, if you want the 800# to sadistic temple, find vital on irc  and suck up a little bit (flash him a little koala porn and he's yours), he'll probably give it to you, if no t, tough noogies. 5. the end! uhh, that about covers it. enjoy th e pack, go play in traffic or something. incest is best, put your sister to the test. go lock yourself in your room, whip ou t a bong and spark up. fun fun fun! ;) - miSfit (apathy prez!) m33ps! - m33ps! - m33ps! - m33p s! - m33ps! - m33ps! - m33ps!  - m33ps! - m33ps! ed.. dude, thanks for all the art.. sorry i couldn't  get tickets for that NiN concert, but still, you and vill should haul your asses  up here and see me!vill.. hear that?
