  I'm back.

  Ten packs ago, myself and the ruiner planned to build something simple.
  something that would be a lot of fun, with simple, yet appealing art,
  and something under our supervision.  i had just come from mistigris,
  after releasing one ansi there and leaving.  and ruiner had come from
  twisted.  twisted is where we met.  thinking of starting a new group
  was fun.  neither of us were anything amazing when it came to ansi.
  neither of us expected the scene to turn it's head and take notice.  but
  our attitude touched other artists.  our ideas increased interest.  our
  positive attitude attracted more and more.  yet never losing focus.  never
  giving into that egotistical way of thinking that was calling us from around
  the corner.  and as i type this today, i feel a little self satisfied. as i
  think about what we were, and what we've become.  the idea of glue being
  based around myself and the ruiner has diminished.  infact, it has become
  something that not only the entire group is involved in, but the entire
  scene.  we are a group that everyone belongs to.  we aren't here to prove that  some other group isn't as good, we aren't here to show you that you suck.
  we're here to show you that you can suceed.  that even the little guy can
  become something bigger and better than a #ansi op.  throughout it all,
  we have been the david.  up against the mighty goliath, and through
  it all we have put aside the insults, the disbelief, and the negative comments  and became something much bigger.  so to all the little guys, this one's for
  you.

  i sprained my ankle on a trampoline.

  The talent that stems from the drips of glue amazes me, more so now than it
  ever did.  we have gained such talent this month, i'm practically in dismay.
  first off, we gained the talent of dissonance.  i think that dissonance is
  one of the best fontists that the scene has seen in a very long time, and
  the fact that he chose to slap on some glue makes me proud.  next up, we
  grabbed da drug.  he is an amazing toon artist, struting titles such as
  fuel and echo.  then, we pick up the extremist.  yes, that's right,. the
  extremist.  i think he's been around here longer than the term oldschool, 
  and the talent and wisdom he has gathered over the years is proven this month
  more so than ever.  not a minute later than picking up thext, do we grab
  noktor.  new talent who will make you wonder where the hell we find these
  guys.  actually, he found us, and i couldn't be happier.  and i donno if he
  got mentioned previously or not, but we got dislogic on the member list y0e.
  you all know who he is, so don't even pretend you don't realize his ansi 
  kicking ass.  and at the very last moment,. only days before we release,.
  inforce joined us!  you know, ex-acid, ex-dvs, ex-rca artist.  we are proud
  to have him grace us with his presence.  

  we decided to re-introduce ascii into the packs.  i hope it sticks around
  this time.  we only allow 'newschool' artwork, and the division will be
  headed by our brand new member, nahal,. who was previously in awe.  WHOO
  whOO.  gimme a N A H A L,. what's that spell?  umm.

  i bought ill communication the other day.  old yet satisfying.
  
  oh, i guess i should give some explanation as to my where abouts lately. i was  trying to get my grades up.  running an artgroup can have it's toll on
  everyday life.  so as my dad realized this, and noticed my aciddraw addiction,  he decided to take away my computer.  i got it back, for school purposes.
  how ironic.

  glue got a new homepage.  it's at glue.cjb.net .  the page is hosted by my
  long time friend mafesto who actually introduced me to coloured blocks.
  the page is designed by drs and his amazing homepage design company called
  gradtek.  if you want a page designed by him, email him or something.  i hope
  he doesn't mind me plugging his company.  oh, btw,. the page is good and i 
  like it a lot.  make sure you go look.

  i have 52% in grade 12 advanced math.

  i introduced a low form of quality control this month too.  i know we're all
  about fun, and producing quality art.  but recently that latter quality has
  been slacking.  and i don't like releasing crap.  i won't be too zealous (as
  dissonance would put it) so i won't deter artists from applying and submitting  work.  it's just that i know every artist in glue has the potential to 
  produce high quality art, and that sometimes we all like to slack and it ends
  up showing.  this month will only begin to prove what we can do.  many of us
  our new artists, and we evolve quickly.  the quality control is only inforced
  to keep our work above the qc line.  blah.

  Also, taintedx left us this month.  yes i am aware that he was probably our
  best artist, and yes i am aware that he was a senior and ran the group while
  i was away.  but i'm back, and he's gone and everything is still quality.
  tainted will always be an intricit part of glue, and he will always be in glue  if you're wondering why he left, the answer lies in the zenith pack.  YAY
  zenith.  and taking his place is dissonance (dee1 on irc).  why?  cause he
  kicks ass, and knows what he's doing,. and has ALREADY helped out a ton.

  yes, i'm a bastard.

  well, that about sums up the events of this month.  i would like to thank
  rz of avenge for guesting in our pack.  the font is amazing, that's why 
  i've got it in the info file =)  and another terrific, practically unknown
  artist named anomite submits a lovely pic as a guest too.  he runs a group
  called dominio, check them outanyways, have a great month everybody, 
  and i'll see you in june.  love bill.
