1.  Completely knocked out by the Y2k bug, iCE's information systems department
is still in  complete  and utter  shambles.  We scoffed at  the notion of a big
failure all year long only to  find our internet server  offline and inoperable
New Years' Day. Bad  planning? Non-Y2k compliant BIOS?  Bad testing? No, it was
that  subversive Canadian  collective in iCE  led by  Rainmaker and Count Zero.

2.  iCE Members this month  could be  found all over  the globe - celebrating a
common theme. Some stayed inside  with their shotguns cocked, others partied it
up in Las Vegas (site of the only millenium  party related death on Earth), and
still  others  plotted  to  overthrow a number of  third  world  countries. The
result?  100% of iCE  survived, we  hear  Rwanda is under  new  leadership, and
Syntax Error is still gay. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

3.  According to central intelligence, no iCE  members came nor went during the
chilly  month  of  December.  In  fact, the  cold   weather  encourages  sexual
intercourse  which in  an indirect  way  could  be  considered an investment in
future iCE  members around the globe.  We've got our peepholes drilled, do you?

4.  The iCE Senior Staff  would like to take this opportunity to greet everyone
who has been part of iCE up to now. Starting  more than a decade ago, iCE has a
long  and  proud  tradition of  great  art and good times. The  group has built
friendships, relationships  and  businesses, and has fueled our artistic desire
for a long, long time.  To those who helped shape iCE into what it is today, we
thank you, and wish you all good luck and a happy New Year.

5.  Lastly, the  group  of iCE, especially  Cold and  Ugly, Force Ten, and Trip
would  like to  thank Fluor for  helping put out the packs the last few months.

6.  That's all  for  now, but  all bets are off for 2000. If you don't think we
have a trick or two up our sleeve, what millenium are _you_ living in?
