IDM FANTASY CAMP! Live vicariously through your IDM heroes, all for free! Yes, you too can live large like your idols in the IDM business at the Reuterz Resort and Casino Complex, an abandoned off-shore oil rig only thirty clics off the shore of Antigua, in the Bahamas. After being whisked into the complex by helicopter, relax on the deck with a cool margurita as your favorite IDM musicians and record executives are kidnapped and held at gunpoint within a maximum-security steel cage, forced to prostrate themselves for your pleasure, making music and staving off disease, starvation, and the odd prison riot and/or gang rape, all at no cost to you! You heard right, fan: we recover the immense costs of this operation by stealing the musicians' lunch money (and the musicians), and pass the savings on to you! But don't take our word for it. Let's have a listen to these visitors' testimonials: "I thought it would be a horrifying experience, but it was kind of fun watching the guards wail on those two guys from Orbital. I mean, if the Hartnolls are going to try to shiv the Chemical Brothers, they should know what they're getting into. Plus I loved the five-star treatment I received at the Reuterz Resort and Casino Complex: back rubs, frosty mugs of cerveza, hammock naps; all in full sight of the musicians behind the steel cage wall, and for no money down. It was such a relaxing feeling to wake up from an afternoon snooze and have the prisoners finish up their custom-made MP3 tracks, all ready to go for me to listen to as I relax in the sun and work on my tan." -A.R. "You rotten people should be ashamed of yourselves, that you physically and mentally abuse these artists only nine out of twelve months in the year. It's a disgrace." -E.I. Sorry, E.I., but we have to close over the summer season to give our security guards a little vacation time. We look forward to seeing you next season, though! It's not all blood and guts at our entertainment complex. Hear what one of our longtime artists-in-residence has to say in a drugged, stilted voice: "We love it here. It is a worker's paradise at the Reuterz Resort and Casino Complex. It is a genuine pleasure to give back to our grateful fan base, who have given us so much... ...let us out of here you rat basta..." -Ryjan Kidwell, aka "Cex" Tsk, tsk! Back to the "box" with you, Ryjan! ___ So sign up now! Seating, while free, is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Are you not entertained? Be sure to ask us about our five-day/four-night Premium vacation package, which includes continental breakfast and a Prison Escapee-Hostage insurance plan. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Since I never got comped tickets to the "Aphex Twin on Ice" or "Plaid-capades" in echange for an endorsement blurb, allow me to spill the beans on Mr. Reynolds little operation. The decor is tired (93-94 era), the complimentary mp3 were all 128k and on WHAT "Continent" is ORANGE JUICE, and DOUGHNUTS considered a "Breakfast" ? sorry: 3/5 stars, ( watch out for the pitch men selling Warp time share condos in Sheffield, bring your own CDRs, the ones left in the room are $5 a pop! and the picture of the pool in the brochure is actually the hotel across the street) E.I.
