Hey Friends,

Issue #6 of Erowid Extracts has gone to the printer! Members can expect their copies in the mail in the middle of June. After a couple of weeks of concentrating on the newsletter, we're now getting back on track for normal site maintenance and the addition of new content. A reminder: We would sure like to meet our May 31st goal of 1000 members (we're at 865), so if you haven't joined, now's the time: Erowid.org/donations/

* Erowid Fundraiser Party *
If you are going to be in the Washington/Oregon area on May 22, please consider joining us for the "All Holidays Party" at the Capitol Hill Arts Center in Seattle. Proceeds from the event are being donated to Erowid. Presale tickets are now available, see :
http://www.all-holiday.com for details.

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

peace,
fire & earth
