ÛÜÜßkyp is busy with his studies at universities and has other ßß things in mind than ansi (women =), leo had also some ÜÝproblems and pandur had some bad luck with his hard-disc °(well, and the german telekom, too), and the others were lazy or had no real motivation anymore. ² ß  we had two new members, namely prst and cyberphreak, but unfortunately they left again after a short while . °prst had some problems with our ideas and cyberphreak ²dropped ansi :( Ûfarewell to you two! ßÝ i want to make zippy bm-member of the month, because although ° he has only one pic in this pack, he has drawn a lot more ²(but didnt send me grrr:) and improved quite a lot :) ß i believe mother is back from his exchange trip to the u.s., °° ßÛso let's shout out a loud "welcome home, mutti!" :) ²²ÜÜÜ ßß Ûkonami switched to xbin, i heard, better look out for the new ÛÛÜÜßxbin-only group. ÛÛ i personally dont think the xbin-stuff will survive long, ²² ° but i guess no one bet that ansi would survive almost ten °° ²years, either :) Ûadditionally he has drawn two great ansis for this pack, ÜÜ Ûgive them a chance to entertain you! ÛÛÜß ßßpandur has almost finished his linux/dos ansidrawer called ÜÝ "gdraw". he still needs some ansis, so draw! ° i fuckin' wish i could have included the ansis leo has drawn ² in the last months. he had so many _great_ - sounding ß ideas, that you better check out his ansis next book! next book will be - you guess - release #20 !  that means, we will try to get as many guests from ex-members °as possible and show every motherfucker out there what a ²ÜÜÜ  _real_ artpack is :) ß Üguesting this month are: °° ²- citizen72, a skilled ascii artist from germany and ex- ²² °diekrankenbomber member. ÛÛ- storm, another uprising german artist. ±±ßß& arlequin (of circe) with a nice ansi full of ideas :) ²²°Û ÛÛÜ your gifts are highly appreciated (especially at these hard ßßßtimes) - thanx alot :) ° ²² ² °°party time: Ûunfortunately i can't come to ambience 99, but i heard ßܱ±pandur, poti and zippy (if someone can take him to venlo, ²²hint!hint!) are going to rock the party :) °mekka/symposium 99, a must for every middle-european scener ²Üwill be on the easter weekend like usual, and i guess many ßÛÛof us will show up (including myself) and boOze alot =) ÜÜ °rumours about a bm meeting will become true when we find a ² °°date which suits everyone's free weekends. Û Û Üin another note: Û ÞÛÝtoot : the slow one will be bitten by the dogs =) ßÜÛÛ ÛÛßafter all i am still proud to release this, many thanks ÛÜgo out to those that have contributed to this pack! :) Ûß(and a wake-up to all who didn't) ßÛ ²one closing note: °  i won't be on internet in the next time anymore, the    phone bill prevents me from buying more important things.   so you have to address yourself to any other black maiden °members, they will find a way to contact me :) ² ß-avenger (avengerbm@gmx.net / hazard/2) °° ßÛ ²²ÜÜÜsome last words _poti at the microphone ßß Û ÛÛÜÜßto keep the story short ill just add what ave forgot. ÛÛ first of all i would like to point out to kolor's demo ²² ° called "6feet" which ranked 7th at TP8. code was done by °° ²former bm-member noize. Û ÜÜ Ûour webpage which is located at http://kaoz.org/bm got ÛÛÜß redesigned (javascript enhanced). plus take a look at °²http://kaoz.org/beam (yeah. the shine/kyp-mag). °°  speaking of the internet we have a real blast for you this book. just take a look at bmbook19.html - great work by °°leonardo (he will add the whole charset soon). ²² °°i guess thats all for now. just that we started organizing ÜÛ °evoke 99 which will take place. just wait for mekka/syposium ±± ²for more news. ²²ß ÛÛ Üstop the millenium hype.
