Dunn *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MaSSAGE *** G'Day, Like out here in the rainy north west (we don't tan, we rust), _Bazil_ is dooin' just fine. We have people lined up 'round the block (in the rain) just to see it. Of course we have no taste here, the same theater (The Gulid 45th) played _The Stunt Man_ for slightly over 2 years. It was because of the popularity of it here, the rest of you slobs got to see it. (sorry, I like to rant once and a while). Greg C.
