Subject: GSB, I think


Just moments ago, I wandered into the 7th floor playroom. There sat
Mark Nahabidian (sp?) and Greg Galperin, each quietly absorbed in 
their own publication. Nearby were 12 bottles of the traditional 
fluid which Naha had kindly provided. 

I was inspired to comment something obnoxious like, "This looks like
partying MIT style!" 

"Nonsense!!!" They replied. This is GSB. 

"Your Nonsense is Nonsense!!!!" I replied. "There was no GSB message!"

This being an unofficial and virtually worthless, but nevertheless, 
very real GSB message, the only question which now remains is whether 
that mysterious period just before 6PM can be retroactively considered
to be part of GSB. This is really a deep question of hermeneutics, the
signifier, the signified, and perhaps even reader-response-criticism,
although techniques such as deconstruction can probably be avoided in
attacking this highly technical problem. If you can aid with the
solution, by all means, come join us wild revelers at this week's

We'd love to have you.
