Greetings to one and all from Tranquility Base.

Bill has provided us with a new diary entry. In it he talks about his
visit to the Carlsbro Amp factory. The idea of Bill playing on a
Carlsbro again will just make your day. Link here:

For those who've been hiding in a bomb shelter for the past two
years were you aware that Bill has created a limited edition CD for
each attendee at the last two Nelsonica conventions. These are in
extremely limited editions, and are considered a "must hear" by
most fans. In fact, there are no copies of either of these available
for sale any more.

However, (and you knew there was going to be one, didn't you?).
A fan has graciously donated one copy of each CD for auction.
Here are the details from Alan Myers, of Rooms With Brittle Views.

as you are all probably aware, nelsonica 02 ticket holders were
given a cd entitled astral motel and nelsonica 03 ticket holders
were given a cd entitled luxury lodge. both these are very rare and
are now no longer available to purchase. david gibson, a fan from
the uk has kindly donated a copy of each in order to auction
them to the highest bidder. each copy is signed by bill. the
auction is for both copies and the winner will receive both albums.
bids cannot be accepted for them individually.

please send in your bids, in increments of no less than £1 sterling
to:

easterauction@...

the auction will remain open until midnight, 12th april, 2004. i will
publish the highest bid daily at rwbv on a new page coming soon.
bids should be in £ sterling only please due to the volatile and
fluctuating nature of the financial markets. bids in other currencies
will not be accepted - sorry.

nb. the winning bidder will be asked to pay p&p for delivery of the
cds.

last week i said that all monies would go to bill. actually, all
proceeds of the auction will be donated to: cancer research.

***un-snip***

There you go. If you missed these CD's the first time around, AND
want to do something good for Easter, please head on over to
the site and bid for them. Link Here:
