In our time of sorrow, a comment from Ed....

"Terror is infectious. Hatred is poisonous. Don't let the sickness in to your heart or your head. Some wicked people have commited unthinkable crimes against a great community. Those criminal terrorists are not part of our communtiy, but there are many people who look like them. Many who talk and dress like them. Many who share a religion with them. The many within our community have come here for the promise of a better place... A better life.

"Let's join together and prove that this IS a better place to live. Don't let the deeds of madmen water the seeds of hatred, and fear. Our community has been dealt a terrible blow, but we can not let it destroy us.

"Be smart, be strong, be understanding. Don't fracture the diversity that makes this community great. We all share in this responsibility. We have an opportunity to prove to the world that this community is not just mighty with the sword, but with head, and heart as well.

"Tell everybody you care about that you love them, tell everybody you know that they matter to you, and tell strangers that they are part of your community. We are ALL in this together." --Ed Robertson, 14 September 2001

Disclaimer
A disclaimer first that this page is (obviously) significantly under construction. Hopefully if you are here, it is because I asked you to look at the format idea I put together. If you got here by other means, please continue to check back, but don't tell me how sucky the site is until this message is gone. (i.e. The page is no longer under construction.) Thanks for understanding.

Contest
To get on with it -- I have been at the development of this site for a short while and I have the basics of an idea down and know of a lot I want to go here, but I still can't come up with a great idea for this front page. The other pages I just need time to put the content together. So I am asking for everybody's help. I am taking suggestions and ideas for a "WOW" front page at kate@barenakedladies.org. I am going to make this "contest-like". The owner of the winning idea will receive a copy of a bootleg show out of my collection. This will be discussed in more detail later, but obviously you cannot sell it to anybody else or give it to anybody who might. Sorry. The partial contents of the collection are under "The Bootlegs", but it is several Gigs of MP3s in total. So, if you can't find something on that list, ask because I might have it.

I am also desperately looking for photo donations of any kind. I will happily give credit to any donations, but I didn't want to just steal stuff off of other sites.

Welcome All!
Having said all that, please let me know what you think by emailing me at kate@barenakedladies.org. The Guestbook for public postings should be up shortly.

Thanks for stopping by!
