Walter,This was the first of a couple of emails about it (below).I'm not making the official announcementuntil the 1st, because I need to finish up a couple of other audio projects before then(one to Austria by the 29th and one to Denmark by the 15th of Sept), but the idea will be close towhat I've said below.Also, knowing this group for as long as I have,(heckabuddha! Has it really been almost 8 years?)don't expect one month to be long enoughfor deadline of submissions. This group can't do it.(I still love 'em anyway!)Will send the info on or about the 1st.(This, of course, doesn't mean that we can't do the Anthology too! - The more the hairier!)

JMB text -John I have ideas...but we won't get into that hereSince I'm in Germany again with the great assenting organic impulse of electronic music,Karlheinz Stockhausen during July and August, my sketchy and squelchy plan may begin officially on Sept 1.The "John Bennett Audio Poetry Project" (to be known, in short(s) as "JOB_APP").My thought...BUT, not yet concrete...is to start accepting audio works to be compiled on an audio CD.The pieces will be using John Bennett's bendy-dictions as a starting point.Haven't decided on how many yet - probably 50 discs - each disc artwork and cover unique, but if we do this many,then I probably better take everyone's submission and turn them into high quality MP3s so that all can havea chance to stretch out - otherwise you'll only have about 90 seconds to strut yer stuff (90 seconds X 50 folks = 75 minutes).AND we know that time and time again, anything worth taking the time will take time,so maybe we can limit everyone (sorry) to 15 minutes max(?)Anyway, I can't do anything until Sept! - so, it gives all of you time to think about yer JOB_APP.Probably, Sept 1 I'll announce officially (rules, address to send, etc)with reminders and updates on Oct 1, Nov 1, and Dec. 1,with all CDs, cassettes, emailed Mp3s, etc on my desk by 2006.I work on compiling, art work, etc and try to send them out Feb 1.This is the rough-edged plan, but I'll "officially" announce around Sept 1and we can get on with it. I'm good at follow-thru (almost compulsively so),so this shouldn't end up like the Fluxlist Box 2.All of this, of course, under the hawkishly watchful eye and OK of JB and his Allstars Poetry Crack Team,if he's willing to sit back and allow the minions to tear his work to shreds.but, AGAIN, not until around Sept 1 when I should make the announcement(or if someone else is ready and waldo to take it on earlier...)verstehen Sie?a, das ist gut!R~ (past my bedtime...nighty/naughty nite...)Rod---Now playing: Paul Chambers - Softly As In A Morning Sunrisehttp://www.last.fm/user/rostasi
