Hey Entheophiles,

A few gems and a few basic additions in this announcement. Things continue to go well at Erowid. We're not getting many donations...but that's ok because we're really enjoying what we're doing. :}

Keep your eye out for the next announcement where we'll show you all the great collection of images that have been submitted during May. Image Submission Month runs through June 5th. There's still a few days to submit images and be considered for a couple of prizes.

We welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org. peace,
fire
