Preface to the Millenial Presentation:

We hope you enjoy the complete performance of this epic ballad presented here for the first time in its entirety. We are also proud to be able to provide the original full appendices from the 21^st Century Emaasplace Codex including the long sought "Proceedings of the 2^nd Conference on Teleology and Evolution" which, as most of you know, were thought to be historical records destroyed during the Dark-Time purges of the Mid-Third Millennial period. Copies of these documents in the author's original hand have recently been discovered, establishing beyond doubt that they are actually prophetic works written at the end of the 2^nd Millennium. To honor this discovery we are simulcasting this performance over the newly discovered Kronus-cascade in hopes that perhaps some this will 'bleed' into the archaic com networks of that era and, who knows, find their way to Mr. Slider? Little chance of that, however, since the C-CasK cannot be 'aimed' in any reliable way. But, just in case, Hello Mr. Slider, and a very Merry Xmas and slightly less dark third-millennium than you so accurately predicted. Save us a bit of DNA and a little chunk of your frontal lobe in a jar, and we'll try to bring you back when you arrive here. PS. I personally liked Sally Anne's Salon. Beauty Parlors haven't changed much in a thousand years. Still good for the best gossip in the sector. Speaking of which, gotta run. I've an appointment to get my antenna done in twenty minutes. S'long - Break a pencil.



Now what in the world was that? I typed it, but frankly it's a little silly. Those 'Proceedings' (Apendix E) it refers to were just a toss-off to placate some sci-fi freaks. Prophesy indeed. Malarky more like. But let it be, time to get on with the show!
