"The audience has a right when they sit down, to be entertained. No matter how intelligent your message is, no matter how smart or wonderful, progressive your ideas are, if they are not entertaining, then they should not be in a movie; you should write them in a journal." - Wes Anderson quoting Woody Allen.

Our first movie night (soon to be renamed) was a total success! Films were watched, pumpkins were smashed, food was eaten and drinks were...dranken. Drank. For future events, please watch this page as well as the *Hall of Owls! page on MySpace*.

---------------

The Ghost Laws recordings have been saved thanks to the indispensable work of Brendan Kuras. The first item to be released from the Ghost Laws archive is a continuous mix entitled C.R.E.A.M.

---------------

Travis Bursik, as Simonnewcomb, is working on a four-song single. The format to be released is yet to be determined. A demo mp3 version of one of the songs can be heard by *clicking here*.

---------------

There are several new mp3s and plenty of new graffiti photos as well as a new rock star drawing by Brian Hunter found to the right. Check out the links section on the very far right to for the MySpace Music sites for Ghost Laws, Dabenport, and SN (formerly Simon Newcomb).
