That was a good idea, giving all that background info for E-Verse Radio. I get it via e-mail weekly. Now that you've qualified the source so well, I won't need to, to quote in the Member's poetry section, a blurb from one very recently received. Thanks

.

Meanwhile, there will hopefully be a serious number of contributions regarding Leonard, sent in from members of this site, for him to make good choices from for the designated edition.

Thanks for taking the time to 'legitimize' the 'publication' for both purposes.

Are you planning to attend the Hal Wilmer event in Brighton? [Since you-know-where will freeze over before you come to New York

?]

This is the link, Dem.

There's a thread devoted to it somewhere, too.

There are people from the board going to both nights, but I think probably more of us on the Sunday at the moment. See you there?

Thanks for the link!

Unfortunately I won't attend neither of the Events.
Elizabeth was just kidding

Hi Demetris ~

Well, yes, I was teasing

you regarding New York [though serious still

].....and, in fact, was very serious re: Brighton, as I saw it as quite an acceptable compromise, of sorts

Hi Elizabeth,

both Events will be great.
But I will probably see you all in Berlin

Hi Demetris ~

You figure that's the next locale? I've always wanted to go to Germany. At least you're bidding off in good spirits

It has to be Berlin, Elizabeth

Spot on, Linmag

~ It's just that I still hear the echoes of other places, so well sought, before the New York decision. So, I say Berlin.

The E-Verse email address is: everseradio@earthlink.net ~ I would think that would be a good one to send Leonard data to for the E-Verse newsletter.
