r! r! july 1999 info file when things first started out for the unknown untalented disillusioned glue crew our peers told us we wouldn t last so we have and you ve seen me go on about how we have stuck with it i m sure you re sick of seeing me go on about how glue s lasted and how we re the best art group that s ever existed and ever will exist and that we re never going to die so what i m proud i think that anyone who s ever been involved in glue is proud to say that they are or at one point were apart of the best art group to ever be to show up all the nay-sayers to suprise everyone to stir up emotion and controversy that echos throughout the scene when the dog bites when the bee stings when i m feeling sad i simply remember my favourite things then i don t feel so bad hmm when talking to people on irc and seeing them say that they don t care that they don t feel pride for their art or their group that just makes me really really sad sometimes i cry about it to hear that someone doesn t enjoy what they do and that they havn t had the chance to experience the pride and obsession that i and other artists have felt is upsetting we all deserve the chance to enjoy and love what we do in this scene people say that the ansi scene and ansi art is so limiting that it s dying if so glue isnt helping their argument at all we are here to do what previou- sly could not be done we are above false expectations and we are forever a long time friend and all time gluey has rejoined the clan has welcomed riddler back to the group once again he shows us what the scene s been missing and he ll show us what can be done in the future i love this guy and hopefully his positive attitude can shed some more light into scene atmosphere a long time member has been removed from the member list for prolonged inactivity he has drawn but his ansi has been kept from the packs although he is very dedicated we have also had some complaints from members about his attitude and his negativity although we ve had problems with thext we hope that he has better luck and more productivity in the future hopefully he becomes more sociable as well ) for all the linux users out there a man by the name of ttb is coding a linux drawing program that ll knock your socks off the name is tetradraw and he can use all the art you can kick out props to ttb for helping the scene move another step forward the pack is late once again i left my house for a bit due to some family problems but now i m back and barely getting things back together i ve also had some major monitor problems and i m working on getting the cash for a new one that s why you don t see that much art from me this month which is a real bummer to me since this is our two year anniversary this problem should be corrected by next month word to all that submitted the pack is great and i m glad to see that we re all doing our part to keep things kicking the scene is not a shelter for the weak - it s a continent for those who are willing to give it a chance and do all that they can to make it something enjoyable long live ansi catch22
