Deery Friend

I am Mahumbu a six year old boy from Bangladesh and very sick. Please I need you help very much as in my village is very bad water and no food. Our cow has died and I must walk twelve mile to well and my father beat me very much if I spill one drop of water ....

Sorry, I can't lie to you. It's actually Tug. And while some may argue that I am in fact sick, my cow hasn't died at all. And the only thing I'm soliciting is your good presences at the next Bardflys. That's right, as this handsome inaugural electronic communiqe suggests, Bardflys has 'got with it' (thanks be to the genius of Tudor) and will endevour to keep you informed, posted, abreast and up to date, in at least a semi-sporadic fashion, of what's coming up. Assuming we know ourselves. But as it so happens this week we do. That's right! In keeping with our new-found sense of information dissemination and preparedness we can proudly announce (drum-roll) that the extremely wonderful Edwina Blush will be this week's (Tues 6) spesh guest, and will quite likely be accompanied musically by the definitely better-than-average Trevor Brown. Benito's off to Rome for a couple of weeks to spread the Bardflys franchise, so I'll be juggling the ship solo - that's right, a solo ship juggler - with a little help from my friends. But apart from that it's business as unusual, with the sterling Peppermint Tea (did anyone find Nige's mobile, by the way?), the relentlessly excellent Limerick Competition (suggested topics for this week welcome) and pretty bloody good Slam! (be early to avoid disappointment, coz disappointment's always late). Kicks off 8ish with the 'Tea, for a ludicrous $3/$2 cover (we must be crazy). If you don't know where it is, then you weren't there. But we'll tell you anyway, it's Bardflys, every Tues night @ the Friend in Hand Hotel, 58 Cowper St. Glebe.

Send this circular to 10 of your closest enemies within one hour of receipt and be cured of leprosy and John Howard. If you wish to unsuscribe and not be a member of a club that would have you as a member then you're a bad sport. But you can anyway. Tudor will tell you how, you've probably just got to click on something.

Yours in verse and adversity,

Tug Dumbly
