[Rumori] People Like Us sNews through Summer 2003

[Vicki Bennett]

Hello People,

This summer PLU is working on a commission ("in.site") for The Lux in 
London, for an online film about the benefits of keeping archives 
available in the present to as many people as possible.

When the world wakes back up in September it's travel and gig time 
again.  Btw, if you're in America and you have suitable funding/venue 
and want to book us let us know now cos we book well ahead.

A few things coming up as of this week...
