1. Welcome to another crazy  month on  the insane  Creators Enterprise  Boat of
Love.  With  Slothy as your host,  let's take a virtual tour of the upper deck.
Vlad "pissboy" Dev will  be around to cater to your  every need.  Please notify
him if  you feel  seasick, don't like the  food, or if  Syntax Error  has  been
hitting on you again.

2. Recently  jumping off the Boat of Love were  longtime ice members Aphid Twix
and Digital Interface,  as well as Fire From Heaven.   All 3 of these guys will
be missed, and we wish them the best of luck on their future endeavors.

3. Most importantly this month, the largest iCE get-together so far occurred at
E3 in  Atlanta, Georgia.   A big  ugly mob of  iCE members,  namely  Lord Soth,
Roland,  Farmicus, Friar Tuck,  Syntax Error,  Vesalius,  and Greater Evil, and
ex-ACiD members  The Cardinal and  Der Schatten all  met and partied  together.
Some (low/)highlights  will now be repeated,  with the most incriminating facts
removed to protect the guilty.

100mph+ car  rides down the freeway  MIGHT have occurred, as  well as dull cops
who didn't  manage to get the offending  individuals.  Additionally, there is a
poor old lady in  Atlanta who almost  didn't get home to make her grandchildren
some tasty walnut muffins due to the expert driving  of yet another iCE member.

At E3, Syntax Error and Vesalius brandished their Press passes to hob-knob with
the who's who of the gaming  industry.   Lots of free things  were collected by
the others, and MANY gorgeous models were thoroughly ogled.

A  certain  iCE member  whom  we all  know and love  didn't do so  well in  the
drinking games one night,  and ended up spectacularly puking  out the side of a
rental car going 75mph down  the freeway on the way to E3.  We discovered (much
to our dismay) that  women in the Atlanta  area aren't  turned on by  a man who
pukes on his friend's car.  Their loss.

One night, the  whole  gang went  out to  dinner to  celebrate   Syntax Error's
birthday.   We  end up  parading  through  downtown  Atlanta  with  a bottle of
Summer's Eve held aloft for all to bathe in its glory, finally stopping to hang
out at a bar until they closed and kicked us out.

E3 was definitely one of the best  times that iCE Members have ever had!  We're
looking forward to future years of E3 and other iCE get-togethers!

4. Congrats to Vesalius and Syntax  Error for becoming  doctors!  Dr. Error and
Dr. lius,  we're very proud of you  guys!  In the smoking lounge of the Boat of
Love we're showing  the videos of their  ceremony followed by Rainmaker's Bris.

5. Down on the freight deck, iCErs are furiously throwing coal into the roaring
iCE  Furnace(tm).  iCE T-Shirts  are on  their  way,  the new  website  (V2) is
drawing closer,  and Retrocade  should be releasing  it's first public beta any
day now (http://www.retrocade.com).  Admittedly, many ice members were busy off
with their normal  lives this month,  but every now and  then you have to stand
up, stretch, and go buy groceries, now don'tcha?

6. 'Till next  month, ladies  and fellas.   We'll keep working,  you just relax
now.  Thanks for sailing iCE Nuthouse Airlines(tm)!
