Here we are again this  month, with some new members.
Four new membersto be exact. Three o
f them are ansi artists and the other one draws ascii
s.

Ark Anjel :  Also known as Icepick
on irc, Ark Anjel used to be in
Sam-sara last  year.  Now
, after  being inactive  for a  while(
well, I think), he's back in the scene, with us.

Inertia   :  This is one of my buds. He l
ives in my area code.  He used
to be in  Dark, back in summer 9
6.  But for reasons I haveno id
ea of, he dropped the scene.  Now he's back  and also
alot better than he was.

Menace    :  I think Menace is
the fastest learning guy I've ever seen.
He's only been drawing for a few months and alr
eady rules.And  please, stop  saying h
e  draws like me.  He has  onlytaken a
few of all the elements I use.. And that's normal,
I've been helping him out with his stuff.

Shrimp    :  I have no idea where he's fr
om but I do know he draws somesome
phat asciis.  He has a few big pieces  th
is month andthat's definatly something
y'all shouldn't miss.

Once again, no one left which is pretty cool.  I should
consider takingthis section off the newsletter. It re
ally isn't that useful. :)

Nothing much happened this month.  A few members joined
as you alreadyknow. Besides that, really nothing muc
h happened.

Mass Murderer considered  leaving the scene  onc
e more, but we all knowhow much he enjoys ansis, so h
e's staying with us.
We have also  Absent Spinsister who's still in h
is summer break.  He issupposed to come back for  the
next pack.  And as he said, our  eyes will pop upwhe
n we'll see what he's supposed to have in the next pac
k.

Also, this month, I wanna congrats  someone I don't know
, for uploadingour pack in  rar forma
t, on cdrom.com,  when I said I wan
ted to  keep it in zip.I wouldn't mind if r
ar was really a revolutionnary format but it's not. I
lookedat our last pack in rar format  and
found out that we  only saved 4,735kb
.  Thatmeans the pack  in zi
p format was 71,499kb  and ended up
at 66,764kb  when beingrared. Wow,
isn't that great?  Don't you think we all
should change a scene tra-dition for like 5-6kb on ev
ery 100kb? Well I don't.  And having our pa
cks in theformat we want is our choice, not someone e
lse's.
Also, having it in  rar format on  c
drom.com wasn't that  horrible, eventhough
we all really wanna keep it in zip. But what's horribl
e is that lame des-cription file that  the
guy made: "AWE Lettering, July 1997 - We love rar
!",  orsomething  similar to
that.  I have no idea  who the gu
y  think he is, but  if Irecall,
this is my group, our group (awe members that is), not
his.
So  anyway, as  Warpus said, p
eople  who are found  uploading r
ared  awepacks on the acid  artpa
cks archive will  be hunted down
by him, who will then,deal with them accordingl

Now, here is a few words from Mass Murderer.. .

Another month at AWE Lettering, and another mont
h of great  progress forthe group as well.  Besides t
he gain of much  talent,  there was a great show ofta
lent from our current group of talented logoists as we
ll.  AWE has well provenits domination
of logo-based art throughout its history, and h
ave maintained thequality that many  look for
ward to month  after month.  I have seen a handful of
members  that have made such  an improvement in a matter o
f  months after  beingtaken under the wing of the sta
ff of AWE.  I am very pleased to see the prog
ressmade, and look forward to the quality month after
month. Thanks to Alex, Pierre-Luc  a
nd Scott for  maintaing the quality and  being
there as a dedicated staff.Enjoy the August
showing of  the best bunch of logoists you will encou
nter, AWE.
