Shawn, I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that we couldn't be happier than to know that your health is improving and that your outlook is that much more positive.

Well, you wanted to talk about other stuff, so let's get to it. I know that you're a big movie buff, so I'll actually use you to explain something to me- just what the hell is the point of Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange?" I never got that movie. I'm actually doing an assignment on it soon, so your output would be great.

A little off topic. Me and a buddy from Berklee plan on going to Memphis (not definite yet, but very hopeful) in December- will you be around? Do you know concretely that you'll be around, or no? It would be great to meet and hang out with you then- you just tell me the name of the best Chinese buffet in Memphis, and we will live it up there more than Elvis ever could! I'll pay for everyone. Oh yeah, if you want I'll take us all to see Tolkien's Two Towers too. He's the best fantasy writer that ever lived, IMO.

So, you're jamming with ole' BC Buckethead, eh? He's got some killer chops too, no? It'll be great to hear your guys work together!!!

If you want to reply lengthier, just reply straight to my home e-mail.

Take care and all the best to you,
Kituka/KO/Kristian Oravec
