Hello, and thank you to the over 1/2 million of you who have tuned in to
the show. It's over now, but we've uploaded a lot of the most downloaded
images and movies (in Windows and MAC formats) for you all.

The event was the February 15, 1995 Web concert in Atlanta GA at the Fox
Theater with Moist, Matthew Sweet, Blues Traveler, and Hootie and the
Blowfish.

The show sold out in 12 minutes, but we brought it to the hundreds of
thousands of ya who couldn't be there personally. John Popper from Blues
traveler chatted with you on irc and we got you up to the minute (well,
as much as that's possible on the web) audio, photos, and video.

The aftermath? We're still tired... but we put up a "backstage wrapup" of
the show at:

which jumps to <URL:http://www.atlanta.com/cny> after telling you about
the event.

...And for those snotty types who keep emailing and saying "hey man, you
Generation X'ers lost out to us Boomers and our Rolling Stones MBONE
concert":

So what. Get a life. Who the heck has access to the mbone anyway you old
farts? We did it on the web (and a BIG thanks to IUMA for all their
pioneering web music work). Accessible to all through lynx on up. Thanks
for checking it out. We had a ball doing it. The music wasn't recycled
tired old 70s stuff, either.

<BIG smile (hey man, it's only rock and roll but I like it!)>
