A tidbit from the Hencorp Inbox:

Dear Jordan, Tussles 'R' Us! Maybe we can work together! (And I like the fact that you're in this to make money. That's one of the parts we're not proving expert at.) Being an editor AND a chief, I hope you don't find this insulting or anything, but you did say "any bid that we could afford." We were thinking...would you consider takin' $8 CDN for that domain name? We don't really have a budget right now for domain names, but if we were to take a deuce off everybody's pay at our next gig (that is, if we don't get fired, like we did in Hamilton on our last gig, fer bein' too weird - the gig being in Steeltown and all, where they like their geetars twangy)... anyway! then we surviving Toronto Hens will cough up the 8 and send it to you in the mail. Please advise re acceptability. Regarding the design of our webpage, we'll try not to take that to heart. We kinda thought it was halfways designed already(!) Talk soon!

(Okay, alright, we didn't really send that letter back. We're not all bad, are we?)

A quick reminder, Henloyalists, that we'll be at the Oasis next Thursday April 16, on College just west of Spadina on the north side, starting c. 9:45. Hope to see a few of you there. Yours, The Former Toronto Henrys, now, once again: THE HENRYS(.com?) Happy Easter http://www.irus.rri.uwo.ca/~henry/
