"Heads".  The dates are correct; I saw 'em in both Santa Clara and San
Francisco.

No problem (although that's the kind of thing I prefer to reserve for a
dark studio room with nobody else in it)!  That does bring up a good idea
though ... how 'bout a jam session with all the synth players in the house:
Paul from ArcMet, Louis & Carl from Born to Go, Carlton from ST37, Doug
from Alien Planetscapes ... maybe Grant from F/i could be talked into
bringing in one of his Wiard systems (no way in hell am I going to trust
the airlines with mine!) ... ?

They weren't on some of the earlier lists, but they're on the schedule now!
 I'm looking forward to their set ...

Actually, it's sort of the other way around - the Voco Kesh split LP
('Derobe') & the 'Secret Society' LP (and possibly something else that I
can't remember?) are from one session, 'Spaceage' was the next, and 'I like
to talk...' the next after that.  Although it's not really appropriate to
call them "sessions" since they have a 16-track in the garage that they do
all their recording on.  I like the fact that the new one has both long
jams AND poppy stuff like the Eno cover.  (also, the 'I like to talk...'
stuff has been around so long that they played several tracks from it at
SD98!)

Send a check for $10 payable to Scott Telles to their PO Box.  They are
starting to run a bit low on that one, so don't hesitate too long.

An opinion I still hold :^).  I'll have to admit that I was less-excited
about SD99 last year, since my two favorite (non-Hawkwind) bands who had
played both of the previous two years weren't going to be there.  That
wasn't about to stop me from attending, though.

See y'all there this year!
