I feel fortunate to have participated in this great experiment. email or g-chat me: phil.barbato at gmail.com. you can also keep up with me at philbarbato dot com, where I occasionally blog about art, life, and whatnot.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 08:55:09 -0800 http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/phil/20116/ http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/phil/19929/
