| What's
        Happening? Here's the latest, plus the new additions to
        the website.  August 24 2000 WoW! My
        apologies for the long long absence... but
        we're back. Feb 11 1998 was the last update...I'm going
        to try and get this thing happening again. And that means...the
        cool giveaways of 97/98 will return... What's
        Vernon been up to? *
        funkyjungledubbreakbeatdrama...with a
        twist...Veron has just started a project with DJ Logic
        called The Yohimbe Brothers.
 * Miles to
        GoHe's producing a track, Miles to Go, on DJ
        Logic's as yet untitled album, with Graham Haynes on
        cornet.

        What ever happened to...Masque?It's now a core quartet:
 -> Marlon Browden on Drums.
 -> Hank Schroy on Bass.
 -> Leon Gruenbaum on keyboard and (of course) the
        Samchillian.
 DJ Logic
        and Beans from anti-pop consortium are part of the
        extended Masque crew. *
        And those shows in Argentina?Masque just finished a weekend of shows in B.A....and
        loved it. According to Vernon, Argentina boasts some of
        the best crowds for Masque-esque music...they
        also loved sharing the stage with D.D. Jackson's group,
        and Brian Jackson's Fellowship.
 *
        Back in NYC...Cindy Blackman, Lenny Kravitz's lady-upon-the-throne,

 If anyone
        finds more dates, mail me or post it to the guestbook. Also, I'm
        working hard on another site at the moment, so this
        site's had to unfortunately suffer. The good news,
        however, is that this site will soon move to a quicker
        server with an easy address (no, it won't be not
        vernonreid.com) - stay tuned in the next month or so. Peace!CARL

        Will and Doug played at The Bottom Line, NYC...the show
        was apparently awesome. Hope to have more info soon.
        Anyone with an article, write in! Appologies
        that I haven't been updating the site as often as I would
        have liked. Sam and I have been hitting our Corey site
        pretty hard...so hard it's become THE
        Corey Site. It went official not long ago.
        Plus, my attention has been diverted to another related
        surprise website, which should be up reasonably soon. CARL
 Quote: "Anything
        that smacks of freedom is seen as dangerous. That's why
        they want to destroy the Internet, that's why they want
        to be able to go in and look at your bookmarks so they
        can see what you've been pointing and clicking on.
        Anything that deals with freedom of spirit is very
        disturbing because freedom breeds anarchy in the minds of
        those who are trying to hold on to power." VERNON
