OFF: Metaphysical question... is BOC-L dead?

[martyn white]

Wow, Mike (FoFP) is still here.  I thought that all the "old timers" had 
left.   I have been here since Steve Swann was moderator, is he stillaround?  And Jill Strohbridge?   Martyn

Yeah, I think someone forgot to take their meds again this week. 
Certainly Christian produces such drivel that I automatically delete it, 
which of course means that I'll miss it those more rare occasions when 
he writes something interesting. Still that's the price people pay for 
spamming.

But year, some of us are still here, but I agree there's not been much 
discussion of Hawkwind issues.

One thing I did mean to ask is which Brit festivals would be worth a 
look these days. I used to go to Glastonbury, but when it's wet, it's 
just to huge and guaranteed to turn into a quagmire. I'd quote like a 
smaller festival where there's still some stuff to do other than listen 
to bands; where the food isn't just burgers; and where the music would 
be of interest to someone into Hawk type music and electronica.

Suggestions on an ecard....
