Welcome to anemia February 1996 compilation. What sweet music   ▀▄  ▀▒▐▓▒▌▌ to my ears after a long anemia rest. In this packet we bring
you quite possibly the best anemia has ever had to offer.
Although Virtuoso has not completed quality checking all of the
artwork in this packet, well over 80% of the artwork I receieved
would have gone into the packet. However I am not sure how          ▄▀▀▀▄  ▄▄▀  Virtuoso's quality checking will be.

This month anemia has come through with large and great         ▀▄▄▄▀▀▓▓█▀  improvements, both in the fields of members, and in quality. Some
great improvements on members would be people such as Pixel Pusha
and IllusionX, both from a high fame in the scene. And some new
faces in anemia would be from the Anemia/Jello merge The Fool and
Fonebone.
Some of our great quality improvements can be seen in such▄▄▀▓▀▄▓██▓█  ansi pics by Rev, Coug, Mortos and Phantax, to name a few. We are
sorry to say that some of the founders of putting anemia on the
map in the way of pictures are currently sleeping in this month
and those people would be Nuremberg, Shatters and Clorox Cowboy.   ▄█▄ ▄▄▀█▓▓█  There are others as well , but I'm a
lazy bitch so you'll just have to look

Oh yeah, before I forget, Tsk (or The
Silent Killer for those who dont know)
joined anemia as just some senior staff
position, doing whatever the hell he   █▄▄▀█▄▄▄█ █████     ▄▀▀▀▄  ▄▄▀  wants to. Just cuz he's so damn leet.

And our elite vice president virtuoso  ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀     ▀▄▄▄▀▀▓▓█▀  plans on drawing ansi pics sometime  as suspected, virt is taking
soon, I phear the thought of that. doodle classes at Nootropics
school for the doodle impaired

In other news, Anemia had its first conf ever on Jan 29th.
It began at about 7pm pacific time and ended sometime Jan 30th.     ▀▄▄▄▀█▓▒▓▌▌ Although we had good intensions with this conf, it turned out to
be utter mayhem after the first half hour. I'd like to take some
time out to say that Anemia's VGA Co-ordinator, MayTrickZ sounds
suprisingly like a taxi cab driver from New York.
Many members that had gotten on
the conf and refused to get off
it when I told them repeatedly    ▀█▀ ▀▀▀▄▄▓▀▀ █▀▄▄▓▄▄■ ▄▄     ▄█ have risked me being an evil
bastard and lowering them down
yellow cab▄█ to trial member status, I think
you all know who you are, so I    ▀▀▄▓▄▀░▒░▓▀  █    ██ ██        ▀▀  █ wont go through the trouble of    ▐▓████■█▒   █▀▀  ▀▀▀█ embarassing you. In any case
I would like to apologize to
MayTrickZ quit doing VGA for Penguin and Tsk for wasting
his secret day job...taxitheir time on this pathetic conf  ░▄ ▄▀▓ ████▌ driver  -- I'm really sorry.

In even more elite news, anemia has set up a mailing list for   ▄▀▀  ▀▄▄▄▀  members to get on. Yay. If you are a member and have yet to get
on the list, contact essbee via email :essbee@zipnet.com: or on    ▐▐▓▒▓█ ▀▀▀■  IRC as essbee. Thank you.

Yo foolz.  You must be wondering why theres a bunch of ansis
and logos in the pack with the group names 'jello' and 'trauma'
on them.. well, fresh, the founder of trauma/jello, called ld
a little too much and lost his fone line =).. then the group
got handed over to me and the fool, and we decided that it'd    ▒█■▓▄▓██  be best if we merged with anemia.  ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄       ▒█■████▓▌ Well, it seems to have been a good
idea so far. The only thing is, we
didn't want to have a full merge,
or else there'd be way too many██jell-o
members in anemia. So, if you were █ ██▀▀  ▀▀░▄▄▀▄▄▀▄█    ▄▄▓▀▀▄▄▄ ▄█▄ in trauma/jello and submitted for
february pack, but your stuff isnt

wants to continue jello, go right"mom!! my jello has a blood
ahead.  disorder!"

Last month was without a doubt a very big
disappointment not only to Anemia members, but also to all of
our many crowds of swarming fans.  Even the groupies that
normally wait for the Anemia studs to release the pack were a ░▄ ▄▀▓ ████▌ little disappointed.  People around the scene have a problem
with thinking that everything is dead because it has a low
point in its level of quality.  It's too bad that they have  ▓▀██ █▀▀▀██ to be be disappointed, but everything has a low point.  Most  ▄▀▀  ▀▄▄▄▀  people made the huge mistake of saying  "Anemia's dying..,"
or some were bold enough to say that it's already dead.  This ▐▐▓▒▓█ ▀▀▀■  didn't really surprise me since people have said that even in ▄▀▀▀▀ ▄▄█ █  Anemia's best months.  It's almost inevitable for an art group
to have alot of high and low points though.  Last month alot
of our very important pic artists had other things to do that
they placed higher on their priority list than the art scene.░▀▄▓▄▀▓▌▐▐█▓ The absence of those many high-quality pics was noticable when
people looked at the pack.  Rumors have said that this is
probably the reason that Anemia members haven't had quite as▀▀▓▄▄▀▓▄▓▓ ■ many groupies stalking them the past month, though we'll see
if these rumors are true after this pack is released.

I really hate sitting here saying "WE'RE█▄▄■▀▀▀▀▄▄ █      ▒█■████▓▌ THE BEST!#@$" "WE'LL NEVER DIE!#@$,"
which is why I'm not doing it. I don't
want to pull a Union and sit here for
months saying that nothing was ever wrong
when I know very well that last month was█▄██▀█████   ▄▄▓▀▀▄▄▄ ▄█▄ a low point. I'm not trying to get down
on any of the Ex-Union members because I
had alot of respect for that group.      ██████████   ░▄▀▓▀▄▀  ▄▀  Anemia has potential, and has shown it
this month by sucking up the criticism
that everyone has given to us and having Doctor silverblade in
by far our best month ever. If we       action trying to revive    ▀▄▄▄▄  ████▌ continue to improve the way that we have  anemia▐▐▓▒▓█▄▀▀▀▄  since our first pack back in august we should be able to contend
with the heavy-weights of the scene; ie. Acid, and Ice.
