Þ ÞWhat can you say? You get to 18, and you need to hea d over to the local Þpub for a little drink. We hit pack 18, and we've on ly just got over Þhangover. For those who a sked if we're dead, unfortunately not... :) Þ Þ So wassup lately.. oooh major reshuffley stuff. We're  late as ever with Þ the pack. Maybe it took Jes us 3 days to resurrect, but we set our Þ alarms wrong, so it took us 4 days.. (and a few failed attempts).  Hey, Þdidn't say it was easy... but what has happened you scream? Þ ÞÞÛÝ could the real av step forwar ds? ÝÝÞÛ  Þ Þwell, impersonations the sincerest form of complimen t, so i spose Þ someone loves us, cos they released avpack17 for us. thanks peoples :) Þ Þ the fake pack 17 has now become the official pack 17,  even if it Þ wasn't released by us - best laugh i'd had in a month  or two :) So this Þ this pack is now number 18, even if it's only the 17t h that the real Þapocalyptic visions crew has put out... Þ Þoh, and on another note, as much as i (apache) lust after krinkle's Þ ass, our girlfriends would kill us :) Þ  ÛÛÝ member swappsiesÛÝÛÛÛÛÞÞÛ   Þ ÞMajor cabinet reshuffling has been reported. Totally  new members to Þ AV are Maeve Wolf and Cyntax. Maeve g ot inspired to doodle again, Þ and Cyntax had nothing to do after force's apparent d eath, so they've Þ both mosied on over into the av paddock. Salut to 'em  both. Salut also Þ goes out to Mr Skitzo, now known as Blup, f or his guest appearance in Þ this pack.. although he's normally busy enough releas ing with acid, if Þ you're lucky you might see him doing a few guest rele ased bits and Þ pieces with av... Þ ÞThe memberlist in this pack is *ALL* current av memb ers, with the Þexception of new members to the music div (ask wolve r). If you think Þ you should be on the list and you're not, mail blue a pache. As a side Þ note, we're being anal about dual grouping, and as we 're an art group, Þ we're not planning on releasing graphic design style stuff... Þ ÞAnyone wanting to join av, mail blue apache with a s ample of whatever Þ artystuff you do, and make sure you live in the gener al australiasian Þ sorta area. We're a patriotic group now, y'hear? ;) Þ ÞÞÛÝ no more distros ÛÝÝÞÛ   Þ ÞOK, so in the past I've looked at "We're getting rid  of our distros" Þmessages and thought 'what a wank', but now thats ex actly what we're Þdoing... Þ ÞAs of this pack, the only distro sites we'll have wi ll be memberboards, Þboards on madness net and occasional outpost's for a reas where there Þare av members. This mean s no non-internet international sites, and Þ buggerall australasian sites. Þ ÞReason is, my mailbox started to look like I was sub scribed to the Þ alt.av.memberlist.apps newsgroup, and i couldn't be s tuffed reading Þ all of them, let alone replying. Sorry, but if you wa nt to answer Þ 10 identical bits of mail every day, you do it... :) Þ ÝÛÛÞÛinternet crapÛÛÝÝÛ Ý Þ Þthanks to the generosity of the Goo over at au.demos cene.net, and kinda Þindirectly the generosity of the demoscene.net peopl e, av is in the Þprocess of getting a new website. It'll be at av .au.demoscene.net, and Þshould (fingers crossed) be up by the end of the wee k. Should include, Þan infofile, memberlist, filepage and (as ever) what' ll hopefully be Þthe most comprehensive list of art, demo, tracked mu sic & affiliated Þwebsites on the internet. So shove your browsers in that direction and Þ see if it's up... Þ Þon a sidenote, we're also currently looking to setup  both an av Þ mailing list, and an australian artscene mailing list . Anyone who can Þ run a listserver with room for 2 mailing lists, drop me mail please! Þ ÞÞÛÝ toto, we're not in kansas anymore  ÝÝÞÛ  Þ ÞNup, we're at a bbq in parkville, melbourne, and we' re getting ready Þ to head for an internet cafe in adelaide. Þ Þ Apocalyptic Visions organised the 3rd vaguely annuali sh Victorian Art Þ& Demoscene BBQ for a sunny saturday in february. Ev eryone got together Þ and burnt sausages (Victoria - the only state where w e burn sausages at Þ the stake).. was fairly groovy. About 20-25 people de cided to show up Þ and crisp stuff. Sat round.  Talked. Hell, how much can you say about a Þbbq anyway? It was spooey :) Þ Þ Expect the next AV contingent to show up at the Coven  '98 demoparty in Þ Adelaide (8th july - 11th j uly, 1998). Anyone else wanting to go from Þ victoria can check out info at coven.au.demoscene .net, and mail me for Þ info if you want to go over on the av traintrip... Þ ÞÞÛÝ finito  ÝÝÞÛ   Þ Þ Sigh... well, kinda an absence of ansi in this pack. Things should be Þ swinging back into gear next pack, should hopefully b e seeing more pics Þ for a start. Australia's been able to compete with th e finest in the Þ past, and we're intending t o do it again (and with our own special av Þ s tyle too... awww.. how cute..). Anyway, here she is. Oh, and a qu ick Þ note - we're still releasing every two m onths, so expect to see pack Þ numero 19 in june.. if you're bored in the mean time,  you might keep an Þ eye out for the organic packs (always interesting) an d Ooze Issue #3, Þcoming soon to a site/bbs near you... anyway, adios t ill july!
