STATE OF THE NATION

"CHILL WINDS OF AUTUMN"
OCTOBER, 2001

"Greetings, fans, from the United States.  Not all is well in the land of base-ball and pie constructed partially of apple parts.   In times of crisis each man must do his part, whether it be fighting bravely for one's country, rescuing folks from collapsing buildings, or churning out little pictures of the Tweenies.  It's impossible to discern which cause amongst these in noblest, surely, but only one is virtually never fatal unless one pokes one's eyes out with pink magic marker.

So what can the weary traveler expect to find here in the month to come?  Perhaps you will find solace in the several pictures waiting to be added to the Tweenies Series in the weeks to come.  Get ready for your Tweenieland favourites "Tweenie Clock - Art Deco" and "Bella - Tweenie of the Lake", presented in full Starblind style with rare production materials, creator commentary and, as always, lots more found absolutely nowhere else!

Or will your sanctuary come in the form of our upcoming feature on my Hallowe'en costume 2001?  We'll have all the decadent details of this year's spectacular attraction.  Will it be decadent or merely extravagant and opulent?  Will passers-by feint at the sight or merely stare slack-jawed in utter amazement?   Only time (and perhaps local law enforcement) will tell.  And you lot shall have a front row seat courtesy of our special feature for Hallowe'en 2001!

The nostalgia-minded amongst us may well have already found their sanctuary in Starblind's enhanced presentation of my fan-favourite 2000 short story sequence, Andrew Lenahan's Death.  Diehard fans in particular might do well to take note of the brand new essay on the original presentation of Andrew Lenahan's Death, the infamous one-off Death live show, and more!

In a nation thirsting for constancy, perhaps it is reassuring to see a well-maintained, oft-updated website.  Or perhaps it is a bit disturbing.  Either way, here it is.  Get ready for the chill winds of Starblind in October 2001!"
