[0m   people who can thrive in a solo atmosphere are those who    [1;30mÀÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÙ
[0m   have the determination and artistic drive to go alone:
   this does not comprise a majority of the ansi scene. Face
   it, people have lives, and to some ansi is a diversion at
   best, rather than a full-blown artistic avenue. Groups help
   bring together more serious minded artists with hobby-minded
   ones, bringing together ideas and a sense of community.

        So with this statement I'd like to close my comments,
   letting the art in this release speak for itself. Observe
   the styles with an open mind and take a little time to
   actually absorb the art. (ie. do NOT spend 5 seconds looking
   at an ansi and go to the next) Respect the artist's effort
   and give the peice a chance.

        I'm extremely proud of everyone who is part of this
   great group, a genuine experiment in originality, scope,
   and diversity.

   p.s. special thanks go out to tna and 4o, for inspiring me to
        draw in new ways.

[0m        Well um, hi.  Savage takin over with my usual 3 words of nothing.
   Just three short days ago I had a harddrive full the the brim of shit.
   So full in fact, that I went out and bought myself a nice new burner.
   Then I came home, and fucked up my harddrive completely, losing EVERYTHING
   on it, and having absolutely no use for the burner.

         Next month.

   you mean im on the air and you didnt tell me? errr
   he he he*cough* Welcome to the third e[1;34mp[0mic pack. I am all
   nervous about this... i havent written an infofile since
   i wrote the echo0697 info file with watOr. damn i miss him.
   Anyways... moving on... I still plan on doing the epic music
   disk. So far it seems that only myself and sod will be
   releasing our music though because no one talks to me, cuz i
   am a loser. Is [1;34mi[0mt because i am fat? is it because... well...
   anyways, epic kids, get out yer music making machines and
   whip up a mod, it, s3m or mp3. email it to me.
   maytagman69@phatchicks.[1;34mc[0mom
   i plan on releasing this disk around the 20th, so msg me as
   soon as possible. also msg me if you want to do a guest song
   because that is good too ;)

   oh ya, i almost forgot... along with making hellium a coded
   emag with real content, it has become an epic production.
   it is likely that epic4 will include hellium3, as hellium 2
   will probably be released a few days after this pack. and
   remember... draw and write for me ;) thanks... over.
