Sorry for the delay, I don't really have any way of digitizing them. Though I may be able to have them done through the same channels I am working for the Cigs stuff. You were right, I do have a box of vhs tapes that I got from you and Barge. But they haven't been transferred either. Also, didn't you have some digital 8 (?) -- or whatever it is called -- footage too? I remember you getting a smaller better resolution camera at some point. Give me a call when you get back into town, 339-4576 and we can hash it out. I'm off that whole week so I'll be around in the daytime.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the nice comment. I wish I could write like I used to but everything is just graphic art doldrums these days. I was talking with Barge the other night about trying to get you to transfer some of the best of the Walking Ruins videos that you have onto DVD-r (Windfall, Streetdance, etc.) Is this something that would be possible? I'm working on a Dancing Cigs DVD right now with a phenomenal 2 set performance of the band in it's prime around 1981. It was done by some students from the University and uses 3 cameras (though the cameras are not the best quality) Still, all in all, it is a great document of the band. Some of the tracks are up on You Tube now, check them out. Just search for Dancing Cigarettes. I've also been going through my old cassettes, lots of bands, lots of unreleased, lots of cassette only releases. I'm trying to get all of that digitized. When I get some cleaned up I'll send you a list. I have the original Gizmo's Story. I even found a demo cassette I did for a Cristy Paxton show theme I wrote and never finished.

Have a wonderful holiday!
