NEWS FOR AUGUST 2000

SFR HAS INVADED CHICAGO
Earlier in July, The Stoned Ranger made an appearance on "The Big Fat Nude Hippo Show" which is a Chicago cable show that is broadcast live out of the museum of broadcasting and comunications on Washington near Michigan downtown. The point of the appearance was just to talk about the first ammendment battle with the city of Des Plaines and also the hatred for the man they call cow. Although Mancow probably was not watching the show to hear the Ranger call his ass out, you can bet sometime in the future these two heads will collide.

FINALLY THE DAY HAS BECOME A REALITY
It is finally written in stone and it WILL be happening. The third attempt at doing a show called THE DAY THE SANITY DIED will be taking place on September 23rd. The catch is that it is in Dekalb, IL which is right down the street from Nothern Illinois University. The show is being created to attract college students to the world of SFR, and to gain some exposure for the bands playing. They will be Discord, VIS@40, Clockbox, and Ballistic. Keep it right here for more updates about this show.

HALLOWEEN SHOW???
Right now the Strictline is in the process of booking a halloween show. There are two dates in mind and negotiations are in progress. Bookmark this site to keep up to date. Slated for the bill for sure so far are Inflict and Downfind. Possibles include I Feel Sick and Ill-Root.

GANJATIME 2000 UPDATE
We now know what the line up of the show will be. But we are not going to tell you. Then that wouldn't be fun. Remember to come see SFR along with Bulkhead, Discord, Inflict, Rypt and VIS@40. Five bands that kick ass. The countdown is on.

KEVIN LORENC'S SURGERY

We are pleased to announce that it appears that John Pillisard of Blue42 Productions will be handling the lighting and sound duties for GT2K and many future Strictline shows. John has worked with VIS@40 and many other bands in the Joliet area and has also designed the VIS@40 website.
