. . . : ; The "WHAT-THE-HELL-IS-THIS" Notice
This is Chico's Groove, our biweekly foray into our lives, the actions
of Disobey, and the new things that we have been doing with the website,
with other people, and everything else. Basically, if you want to know
everything there is to know about Disobey and its creators, then this is
the easiest, truest source. If you plan on killing us, all pertinent
information is located at your local supermarket stand.
. . . : ; The "WHY-THE-HELL-AM-I-RECEIVING-THIS" Notice
Well, for any number of reasons, with the most obvious being that you
subscribed. We have also taken it upon ourselves to add the emails of
people we have worked with, or have expressed interest in the workings
of Disobey. If you don't want this, simply respond to this email with a
pissed off reason, and we'll remove you. There are 24 people on this
list.
. . . : ; ANNOUNCEMENTS and all that other junk
NEW GHOST SITES (#11) : On December 31st, a new issue of GHOST SITES was
released. Growing quickly with the added visibility of Disobey, Ghost
Sites has been mentioned in the New York Times' Cybertimes section of
their website. We have also been told of an imminent mention in the
February issue of Internet World, which will be available on January
15th. We'll tell you what page we're on when our case of copies comes in
<g>.
AND NEW DEVIL SHAT (#Seventeen): Since Chico's Groove is sent out the
same time as DEVIL SHAT, you can always expect a new issue of that to be
in this "new stuff" section. This issue has three articles (two from
contributors) and covers Morbus' interpretation of New Year's Day, why
we should "Kill a Tree for Christ" and an article about "the
revolution". We're back to our old selves after our holiday issue, so
check it out.
PLAYTIME FOR CALX?: The next update intended for CALX, our original
music section is due on the 8th of January. And then we will be gearing
up for our February 1st release of the first Calx album, "Closing Themes
for the Opened". So, to drum up some enthusiasm for the release, we are
looking for people willing to hit up their local radio stations, clubs,
dj, or what have you. Talk to them about playing some of our stuff, or
otherwise promoting us. The response to Calx has been good (as the
response has been for most of Disobey's stuff), and we would like to see
it get better. Some other things to consider might be RealAudio
channels, pirate radio stations, or college airwaves.
NEW BEN OHMART STUFF: Five new pieces have been added to the Ben Ohmart
section of COLLECTED WORKS. From three short films (So Silky, Quark, The
Box) to two new plays (Worst Comes to Shove, Wa Fracks), you've got
plenty to read. We love this guy's stuff, and we have a lot more to add.
. . . : ; EVERYTHING else and stupid things about our life
THE DAY OF ATTACHMENTS: Attachments are these stupid little files that
can be added on to email to allow you a rudimentary file transfer. Every
so often we receive an attachment... someone's christmas card, a new
piece for a Collected Works section, or something else. On December 21,
1997, however, we strangely received 12 attachments in one day. We don't
know why, but it was just striking to us.
WHEN WE SAY: When we say "week", we really mean two weeks. Otherwise,
everytime we have a "blahblah of the week", we would have to have two of
them to cover both of the weeks that pass between publication of Chico's
Groove. Of course we could always say "blahblah of the biweek", but that
just sounds stupid.
CHRISTMAS IMAGE: On Christmas Day, at about 1:32 in the morning, we
uploaded a special Christmas image for our front pages. Only 62 people
saw this (according to the start and end counter numbers).

---Not sherbert, fruit flavored ice cream, bright as crayons and addictive
---as hell.
[Restaurant of the Week]--= Irving gas station's in-house Taco Bell

---Men in Black, Animaniacs, Batman, the Batman and Superman

[Terrible Movie of the Week That Looked Good in Previews But We Should ]
[Have Known Sucked Because the Director's Previous Work was Unwatchable]
