People are doing more and more via phone and e-mail, so it's harder for us to establish a personal relationship and develop a rapport.

So the secondary effect is a lot of folks who traditionally came to the shore are going elsewhere.

When I came on, you know we were not online? Now people can e-mail us and Lord do they e-mail us.

We are not sure how to get funding, and we encourage people to contact us by e-mail with fund-raising ideas. Our eventual goal of course is to perform.

The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much.

If you didn't e-mail us first, it is not from us.
