I'm sorry, but you can't go to the Surrealist Ball; 27 September is the night of the net.party in Boston (and it's certainly cheaper than, say, the admission to the Ball). See you all on Saturday! -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Henry Mensch | Technical Writer | MIT/Project Athena henry@athena.mit.edu ..!mit-eddie!mit-athena!henry
