Subject: [_badpacket_ news] Performance Update

Important Announcement!

Tomorrow night, at 9 PM EST, _badpacket_ will be transmitting an
internet streamed performance to the Performance Marks Mini-Festival
in Regina, Saskatchewan. The performance stream will be sent
exclusively to our audience in Regina at Neutral Ground/Soil.

We are sending our performance by internet stream because we have
entered voluntary Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) quarantine
in Toronto. Though this means that we cannot permit audience
members at our location in Toronto, we would like to invite everyone
to watch our behind-the-scenes webcam and participate in a live chat
with us and our audience members in Regina.

We have provided instructions below on how to access our
behind-the-scenes camera and chat interface, and information on the
performance stream that will be received in Regina.

Please join us and our Regina audience in the chat room, as we wait
out our SARS quarantine.
