Annwn GroupiesWe have strange and charming fans. Here're some of the more, um, fervent thereof. (Anybody fervent enough to put themselves up here, that is...) We've munged the addresses to make them less susceptible to spambot harvesting, so if you actually want to reach any of these people, replace "-at-" with "-at-" in your mailer's "To:" field. vytas-at-cs.stanford.edu. http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~vytas/. Vytas gets to lead the list, coz the whole scheme of a groupie page was his idea in the first place. He's on the front cover of the new CD, too... madbaker-at-ix.netcom.com. http://www.whirlwind-design.com/~madbaker/.
