HW: HAWKFEST

[Guido Vacano]

I'm in full agreement with Richard. It's a pity Hawkwind won't go to the
bother of finding someone who can cobble together a good site. Silly
javascript doodads downloaded from some freebie script archive, flashing
text, animated gifs, and the most obnoxious navigation I've yet
encountered do not a good site make.

The site is a dysfunctional eyesore.

I guess user-friendly navigation, clearly readable text, restrained use
of tasteful and interesting graphics (you know, the kind that don't need
to move), and plain old good taste is just not "kewl" enough for
"Mission Control" and all the related juvenile secret decoder ring Star
Warriors crap that goes with it.
