1. Although previously reported that Ian Dale  was getting a trip to Europe, it
turns out that  upstage.com is low on cash  and cancelled the prize.  Ian might
still be getting t-shirts from the  company though!   This makes  things around
the ice  compound a  bit more  tense.   As you  may  remember,  last  month  we
mentioned that  Ian is the last ice member  to get his free  European vacation.
So now having it  cancelled is really just  rubbing salt in the wound.  Ian has
been  "getting  dust  in his  eye" quite  a bit  since then  as we've  seen him
strolling the halls of the "I'm not mentally unstable" ward.

1.5. You wouldn't think the FTC would allow companies to award prizes and never
deliver them, would you?  Crazy world...

2. We learned this month that Slothy has  some very strong opinions about HTML.

3. We also learned that living in San Francisco is so expensive that it's quite
silly.  Massd is very crazy to be paying that kinds of rent...  but then again,
he's also  Senior Staff, so we knew  he's not one for  thinking things through.

4. See you next month!

5. We hope you enjoy the  pack this month!   A lot of people came together with
new art this month to  make it happen.   Just remember:  like it or people will
hear a rumor that you have herpes and nobody will date you anymore.

6. Further rumors  speculate that Mass Delusion is affording that crazy rent by
being the real brains behind  "Survivor".  He is reportedly  dating both  Jenna
and  Colleen, using iCE resources to make late night rendezvous  to the island.

7. You might notice that these announcements are out of order this month.  This
is a  result of  the senior  staff  being  disorganized.   We hope  to have  it
repaired by next month.
