I have been hounding Ben Belton about "The Basics" for a while now. 
Trouble is, this article has been out for a couple of years and in order 
to really be worth printing, it needs to be revised and updated and 
added to. There needs to be something in there that isn't in the online 
version.

Now that Erik is slipping the traces in less than a week, he can do 
whatever projects he wants to. We'll give him an A/V budget!

I would also be for a topical re-work of the various convention DVDs.

"Aquascaping" Amano both years, Wim van Drogle-whatsisname, Ricky Cain 
Inspiration, Jeff Senske Big 'Uns, and NEW! Luis Navarro narration by 
James Earl Jones, and Bailin Shaw Nano-scapes. Maybe if we offer Amano a 
contract with royalties, he would allow us to sell outside our membership.

"Chemistry"

"Keep it Simple"

I'm for this. Take Cavan and Luis with you.
