	6:10am ?: thanks for existing!
	6:11am Joe: Shucks! Thanks.
	6:12am pauladepipersdaughterinparispleasegod: im in berlin s main shape hole school at the moment. ive been in the r&d department for 4 years now, working with 8 other students on a mind blowing universal shape hole project. weve been studying pre-historic shape holes, and combining that with current cutting edge technologies to build a machine that can instantly recognise any tangible object, its form, texture, sound, smell and obviously shape. this goes way beyond airport security and has serious repercussions for the knowledge economy.
	6:15am Joe: You are clearly doing the work of the Blessed.
	6:18am pauladepipersdaughterinparis: indeed it is critical work we are involved in. i will send on some shape hole drawings next week just so you can visualise some of the activities we get up to here in this top class top secret israeli sponsored institution

Mon. Jan 27th, 9am - Noon: Surface Noise (Almost) Live from Lincoln Center with Special Guest Don Fleming (More info...)
On January 13th, Surface Noise was poised to do a special live remote broadcast from Lincoln Center's Library of the Performing Arts with special guest Don Fleming . Unfortunately, technical problems prevented the show from being broadcast. While still at the library, surrounded by the music they had selected from the library's collection, Joe and Don decided to do the show anyway. The show that they recorded will be broadcast in full on today's Surface Noise.
