ARe yOu inVISiBle?

Okay, kids. Here's your assignment. Show the man where it's at, who's who, and what's up. Post flyers, draw pictures, conjure demons. Confuse the opposition with wit and intelligence. Take your message to the streets, down dark alleys, and into the minds of those that remain in the dark. Don't be different for difference's sake, but don't maintain the status quo for their sake. Inform yourself and others. Look beyond the facade. Think, don't flock. Under the sidewalk, the beach.

That is all...

de la Vega, Chris

"Name: Christopher Matthew de la Vega
Age:21
Residence: Berkeley, CA.
Occupation: Undergraduate dramatic arts major/english major at UC Berkeley
Hobbies 'n stuff: Hmm. Selective brain change experiments (read: use and abuse of psychadelics while referencing Crowley, Leary, Wilson, etc.). Reading of philosophy, sci-fi, "real" literature, and whatever I can get my hands on. Performance in live theatre (musicals, Shakespeare, modern legitimate theater, what have you). Being abused by the motion picture industry. Mail bombing the Golden Globe people for giving Jim Fucking Carrey (his actual middle name) the best actor award. Flirting shamelessly with men and women alike. I'm in between girlfriends so I'm aloud to do that, and for some reason gay men keep hitting on me in clubs, so what can I do? (to all of you english majors, I'm reasonably sure the last sentence was a run on, but I don't care, so there) Maybe one day I'll sleep with one of them. Who knows?
Musical tastes: The Legendary Pink Dots, Tones on Tail, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Smiths, The Cure, Cevin Key, The Velvet Underground, Tori Amos, Bjork, and many, many, more."

Fitch, Kristen

"Kat likes to play with Fairies, and not just because she's in theater. She is 21 as of St. Patrick's Day, and very glad of that fact, even if she avoids green beer and beer in general like the plague, except for that wonderful brew known only as Schlitz! If Kat ever had free time, she'd spend it writing little things in her journal (but she's not a writer,honest!), drinking large amounts of coffee with Chip while discussing everything from their shitty lovelives to random bits of trivia tof antasies about rubbing Matt Pickens' head. She doesn't actually *read*the Invisibles, but she's heard a damn lot about it. When she grows up,she wants to be a Methodist minister who will subvert the boredom of the masses (Strike a blow for the Revolution from within, baby!). Kat has many aliases, including Kristin, Kris, Fortune, and Kat, but *never*Kristy or Kitten. She will most likely beat Chip up when she reads her description here."

Grimshaw, Chip

"Chip is 22 years old and currently searching for some way to make that age special. His passtimes include trying to find the most interesting thing possible to do in his first post-undergrad year, drumming on any available surface, and staying up until ungodly hours drinking obnoxious amounts of coffee and discussing extraordinarily unimportant things with those he loves. One probably wouldn't pick him out of a crowd, but his friends know him immediatly upon sight. He likes his puppies, his friends, his friends' puppies, and Harold Bloom. He is currently not in London and very unhappy with that fact.. Chip does not dance. At parties, Chip is the DJ or bartender, and if he were a Spice Girl, he'd be 'I'm-gonna-go-shoot-myself-cause-I'm-a-Spice-Girl' Spice. Chip smokes like it's his job, and he loves his gotee."

Pickens, Matt

"Pertinent info? Biographical detail? Hmm...well, I'm a perpetual undergraduate, a former trombonist, and a disgruntled waiter. DOB 14Dec73, 5'10", right handed, and cursed with whatever the exact opposite of a beautiful singing voice might be. I like the night; daytime just seems _wrong_ to me. I'm gay, but not practicing (not for lack of desire, alas...). I have entirely too many interests for a sane person, but I'm not really an expert, or even particularly learned, in anything. Web page technically exists at http://home.hiwaay.net/~mpickens , but it's just something I threw together one night and have been meaning to update for, like, two years."

Ulysses 2000

"Photo is guaranteed to be out of date, what with me being a pretentious brit-pop mod bastard who pays entirely too much energy on his hair style. I am presently working as a digital printmaker in Los Angeles but previous incarnations include auto detailer, pretentious guy in alt rock band who pays entirely too much attention to his hair, boyfriend, effeminate gothguy, role playing geek, master of the whip, son, disgruntled writer of bad poetry, and many more. I am addicted to ideas and intelligent discussion, a trait that has kept me glued to my eudora to read the fine postings from the invisibles list.Oh... and my real name is Adam (sort of anyway..)
Faves: music, dancing, Greg Araki movies, Robert Anton Wilson, and more dancing.
Not so Faves: cumquats, squeeky wheels, and people who take 15 into the under ten checkout line (just went shopping)"
