hope no offence is taken at this post, none was intended. Best of luck with the event it looks like it should be great, hopefully we'll be around on the saturday afternoon to meet faces, and say hello.

If your attending any of these events in bristol and you fancy a break from the mold inside-us-all will be visualisationalising with psy trance legends Astrix [Homega - Israel] & others, at 'planet shroom' at the depot on the saturday night [8th].

have a good one

[Amukidi]

Dunno where anybody got the idea that I'm a colour therapist!!! I think they meant theorist!
Anyway, it'd be great to meet any forum members there - I (amukidi)will, no doubt, be the oldest bloke there, so shouldn't be hard to spot (just look out for the tired looking geezer who spends too long arguing with his teenage daughters!)
