WITH LOVE ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
This letter has been sent to you for good luck. The original is in New England. It has been sent around the world nine times, the luck has been sent to you. You will receive good luck within four days of receiving this letter provided you in turn send it on. This is no joke. You will receive good luck. Don’t send money as fate has no price. Do not keep this letter, it must leave your hands (or computer screen) within 96 hours.

A United States Air Force Officer received $470,000.

John A. Elliot received $40,000 and lost it because he broke the chain.

While in the Philippines, Gene Welch lost his wife 51 days after receiving this letter. He failed to circulate this letter however, before her death he received $7,500,000.
Please send 20 copies and see what happens in four days. The chain comes from Venezuela and was written by Saul de Crop, a missionary from South America. Since the copy must tour the world, you must make twenty copies and send them out. A few days later he won the million dollar lottery. Darlos Daddit, an office employee, received the letter and forgot it had to leave his hands within 96 hours, he lost his job. Brian Fairchild received the letter and not believing, he threw it away. Nine days later he died.

In 1987 the letter was receive [sic] by a young woman in California. It was very faded and barely readable. She promised to type the letter over and send it on, but she set it aside to do later. She was plagued with various problems, including expensive car repairs. The letter did not leave her hands within 96 hours. She finally typed the letter as promised and got a new car.
Remember, send no money
Do not sign this
IT WORKS!!

This chain letter was received at the office from an anonymous source. We figured we’d go for a lotta luck by reprinting the letter thousands of times, rather than the recommended 20 times.

Please acquire 20 copies of the letter by buying 20 copies of this magazine and send them out as you see fit.

Ah, I feel better already.

Last issue, April #25, we kinda slammed the beejesus out of two CDs on the Quirkworks label, Vox Orbita and Richard Bone. It appears Dick is in both bands, and either runs the label, or bagged the label’s stationery upon which he wrote the following letter:

My Dear Lollipop,
As there is no such thing as a bad review, I want to thank you for printing the scathing reviews of my music. As I choose to live in a world of positive energy and light, I have no doubt that words will serve me in some mystical way once within my circle of influence. However, as we live in a karmic world, you should use caution when attempting to maliciously harm others. Since nature abhors a vacuum, it will always return to that which you send out. Beware! I trust your intentions behind Lollipop are honorable, in which case, I wish you all you deserve.

In Shadow & Light,
Richard Bone

Dear Mr. Bone,
While I thought your CDs were interesting, I assigned them out to reviewers who, admittedly, know a hella lot more about experimental quirk pop than myself. They ripped your shit up, evidently. I trust the opinions of the writers, therefore I printed the reviews. Thanks for your cosmic insights. I’m sleeping well at night, thank you. That could, however, be all the booze. Whatever.

In Shadow if there is any & Light as long as I’ve got sunglasses,
Scott Hefflon
