[?7h ..%% o r b i t n e w s - volume 1, iss ue 5 - july 1995 %%.. ..%% written by veediot! ..%% new stuff Well, this month, lots of new stuff happened... Well, sort of. Les see... in the beginning of the month, not much happened. It looked pretty  grim for orbit. I was doing most of my work for bleach. And then I went and  joined blade... But after a sudden adreline shot to the temple, as mouse  says, I decided to start working for my home group, orbit again... Unfortu netely, as soon as I had gotten this burst of energy to work for orbit, I had  to leave for vacation for a week... Well, the vacation sucked, and when I g ot back I was extremely disoriented, but now everything is normal again...  So I can go back to work. Atleast the vacation gave me some time to think o f some new ideas for orbit. Anyways, we aqquired quite a few new distro sites  this month. I beleive the first one was aqquired by tab... The Black Lodge, an  obv/2 beta site sop'd by fury, joins us this month as a distro, along with th e death star from connecticut (203), and finally, famed hUMA from area code 619 , sop'd by lord jazz joins us as a distro as well this month... Thats pretty  much all that happened so far this month, but we do have some new things planned  for orbit in the new future, which leads me to the next section... ..%% orbit studios grows! There have been several new plans this month to increase orbit stu dios to orbit productions. This change will involve growing into not just  an art group releasing standard ansi, vga, music, coding... But there have been  plans for a computer comic book, a cartoon strip, utilities, and a modding s ection of the group. Look forward to seeing all kinds of new things in the n ew orbit packs to come. ..%% missing in action Several members have lost contact with orbit in one way or another . These members include courier, satanic rhythm, and musician, rephlex. If  those membersare out there reading this, call up no carrier  and inform us of your status... ..%% applications! orbit could really use some new talented members, as our ansi sect ion has really declined since the start of the group... we've got plenty o f vga, although all types of artists are welcome to apply, but mostly our  rapidly decreasing ansi section could use some talented new faces. If no  apps for ansi artists come in, there are plans to go all-vga... If you'd li ke to apply to orbit, just call the whq, no carrier, at 810-473-1197, and logo n as 'orbit' password 'orbit' and date of birth '00/00/00' if needed. Upload yo ur app in the file base marked orbit applications. If we don't get some apps in  this month, you heard it here first.. don't be surprised if there is no pack 6 ...
