1. Well, another month, another four disks.  While most people are playing that
Prince song, the iCE crew seems to be humming "Can't Hold Me Down" (made famous
again by that ravishing Puff Daddy).  Many people  spent the first month of the
new year  by preparing for Y2k (mainly  purchasing assault rifles) but we spent
it  by creating  some stunning eye candy and putting  together another  timely,
quality release.

2. After satisfying his rite of passage by trekking the forbidden "lava walk of
Hippahippamulango", Bmxmen was brought on the ship this month for his great 3D,
his "close" relationship with  Epoch, and for getting one of  his models placed
on  SoftImage's Industrial  art gallery.  Not bad!  Also this month  new to the
crew was Funbaby.  And don't think they call him that for nothing!  We finished
a comeback  this month  with the release of a  Black Guard  RIP, and Cooly, our
favorite  AK-47-toting Israeli  grunt has returned  from the grips of  military
service to do some  drawing.  If you remember Sober, you probably remember that
incredible hirez of the Violator he released a  few years back - well he sent a
buddy to us and his name is Shade.  He does some great freehand work  that will
tantalize and titilate.

3. Unable to  comprehend the  meaning of  life, Hfaze took  one step  closer to
immortality when  an artist on Moonshine Music released  a CD using his font on
the cover!  If you remember, Hfaze released several truetype fonts in iCE packs
last year.  Just think, using V2, you can search for *.ttf and find them all in
a single search!

4. iCECON: East is  about to take place!  Most  people would  consider this  an
internal  issue, but we like to think that everyone cares what we do, so here's
the skinny!  February 5th, in NYC, iCE  is meeting and going  barhopping.  That
means  you should be 21 or older, and bring  cash to buy  us all drinks for the
chance to  bask in our  artistic haze.  Reported to  set foot on the  NYC scene
will be west-coasters  Mass Delusion and Xten,  east-coast-haunters Force  Ten,
Aneurysm, Cold and  Ugly, Epoch, new  member Bmxmen, Egghead, and  whoever else
decides to  engage in craziness for a night.  According to sources close to the
iCE team, there  will be several marriages between  iCE members and the nearest
sturdy bar stool.

5. When Senior Staff  Sinned Soul decided to quit this month, most of the staff
left with him to create a new group  called "Dnegel".  Suddenly, it was as if a
moment of clarity settled upon these leaders and  then common sense set  in. We
realized that there wasn't anything anyone could do to top the goat-sex-having,
insider-stock-trading,  ultraHLE-playing,  eye-candy-creating  commonwealth  of
independent artists that we like to call "iCE".  Scurrying  like a pack of rats
headed  for higher ground  on the Titanic, we rejoined iCE and took power, then
renamed the group iCE: The iCE Cream Experience.

6. Mongi says: look at http://www.hirez.org, the one-stop hirez shop!

7. As  part of  our  effort to  divest  some  of our holdings  and  expand  our
portfolio, iCE  Incorporated sold off its  majority ownership of Disney and its
subsidaries  including ESPN,  the Go Network, ABC, and  others.  For more info,
consult our 10-Q form filed with the SEC.

9. When time is up, put your pencil down, and stop writing.

10. Go  to item 11, wait  for the  instructor to  signal the  start, and  begin
answering the questions.

11. Will you accept being the official iCE sex slave?  o True  o False

12. According to a recent issue of Gutter, the iCE boys and girls were cleaning
up the  charts.  Tetanus' ansi  last month took  the #1 and #2 spots.  For  the
same ansi!  Vade 79  took top honors  in the font section, and  while he didn't
"pull a tetanus", he did have backup from Count Zero, who took #2.

13. This concludes this issue of StaffBlabbering(tm), but  you can rest assured
knowing  that  next month, an  equally  informationless byte-filled  text  file
will  be accompanying  the best artwork in the  world.  In fact, I can estimate
with clock-like precision that you can get this file again in just 28 days from
now.  Neat how we do that, isn't it?
