Soul, Gerry Fialka's Jammerz, Roger Beebe's TB/TX, Scott Stark's
Speechless, and Devo Karaoke by Karl Lind (flying in from Portland to
perform the vocals!). ALSO: Recent pieces by Bryan Boyce, People Like
Us, Yin-Ju Chen, Richard Mitchell, Shalo P, Pad McGlaughlin, Sylvia
Schedelbauer, et al. PLUS Eli Marias'/ Amos Natkin's Daddy, a Shana

Conner, a clip from George Kuchar's Tempest in a Teapot, a charmed
