Introduction.. .

This Month as probably been the worst month for AWE
yet. I couldn't geta hold on many members  becau
se of xmas and the new year I guess,
so the pack isnot as big as it should be.  But don't
worry, the quality's as high as usual

As for me, it was my worst month in the scene. A bit bef
ore xmas, I be-came bored of all  the
scene and haven't been  much on irc.  Then came
xmas andthe new year.  Then, my
grandmother died of a long fight against a pa
ncreas can-cer and I had to go to her funeral
and everything  that goes with it.  But, thishas
n't been  the worst:  my girlfriend spent all
the  xmas holidays at my house.I don't  think
I need to say  that I haven't had  much time to draw
during thesetwo weeks :).  Anyway, let's get
to the important things.

New Members.. .

This month, we added five new members to the
AWE Family, as well as ta-king one off.  Wit
h these  five new members,  we have now 1
7 ansi  artists and 7ascii artists, inclu
ding me.  Here are the new members:

Discyple:  After making some sort of
conspiracy with mHz, we fi-
nally got one of the  best Ascii Artists i
n the sceneright now.  With him
and Nahal (who both have a simi-
lar style I'd say), AWE Ascii's gonn
a kick some majorass.

Mass Murderer:  No, he hasn't left iC
E.  He joined us as an Ascii
Artist; that means he left Fire

Sorry, I have nothing more to say about him. The b
estthing I can  say is to check  out h
is stuff... Prettycool stuff.  :)

Nahal:  Well, like I said before, he'
s got an  amazing style.I don't think
I have anything else to say.  :)

Noodles:  I first saw his stuff in th
e 9611 iCE Pack and I justl
oved it, so I started  bothering him and  he finally
joined.  He's from Australia... I gu
ess that's why hedraws a bit like
Sq2.  :)

Outkast:  After chatting a bit with h
im, he decided to apply toAWE
, even  though he's not a  fontist.  I think y'all
already know who he is, since a lot of ppl don'
t likehim, even  if he's one  of the c
oolest  guy I know inthe scene.

Departure.. .

Since the beginning of AWE Lettering, we only lo
st two members.  One ofthese two is S
ir Death, who's leaving  us this month, for E
clipse sincehe has been in this  group foreve
r.  We wish  him luck with em and hopehe's gonna
remember AWE has a wonderful experience... So
mething that heis not gonna regret.

Information.. .

I don't have much to say about what happened this month,
since I have
no idea what happened.  I never thought it could be that har
d to run a group. Wehad communication problems
:  I lost contact with some members.
Anyway, all I can say is that it has been a fun month, e
ven though we
had a lot of problems.

Beside this, a sad thing happened this month:  Outka
st's girlfriend hasbeen shot by some moro
n or something.. I don't know the whole story.  All I
knowis that he has no idea why she has been shot.  W
hat can I say?..  Outkast is to-tally fucked
up like he said.  He told me he might quit the scene;
he's not sureyet.  So this month  might be Outka
st's last release.  I just hope he's going tostic
k around so we can chat again with him.  I'll have fur
ther explanations nextmonth I guess..

With Discyple,  Mass Murderer and Na
hal  in AWE Ascii, I think  we haveone of
the best ascii division in the scene.  So as for now,
I don't think we'regonna accept any other ascii arti
sts, except those who really kick ass.

As you already know, We had problems with the communicat
ion this month.So I'd like to have some news from
Circus Freak, Noodles, Splatt
& Squarepusherif possible, because I hav
en't been able to get a hold on y'all.

Oh, I almost forgot:  Don't email me saying that  Ou
tkast ripped a fontfrom Fluor.. I know.
Fluor challenged Outkast.  Anyway, t
hat's a long story. :)
Welp, I guess that's pretty much  what I had to say.  Oh
, I also have anew email address.  So email me at
tnangel@generation.net if you have  any ques
-tion concerning  AWE or to request some logo
s of me (please, don't bother askingfreebies and/or t
rades).

Greets.. .

This month, I would  like to greet the  following people
for differentreasons.  Without these  people, I wou
ld've had much more  difficulties with thegroup and t
he pack.

improvement of AWE Ascii.
