Wednesday, February 12, 2003 1:27 pm Dr. Finbar, the Human Whiteboard Marker Dear Ears, Welcome to the latest bulletin. Congratulations to those of you who discovered the secret message hidden in our last email. Well done. Unfortunately, that wasn't an official competition. So you don't win anything. Sorry. LAST WEEK We had a practise session. Then we landed on Saturn. It's lovely there this time of year. THIS WEEK This week we'll be at our favourite place in the whole world, the Yak Speakeasy. This year, they've installed a cut-out of a Yak's head. It has glowing red eyes that flash on and off; certainly, it's well worth the trip just to see this. And that trip will take you to 160 Hoddle St., Abbotsford, from 8.30 onwards, Thursday evening. DR. FINBAR AND FRIENDS We've finalised our booking with the Old Colonial Inn. The big night is Friday, February 21. We will be playing, along with as many as four other acts. Chat with Daniel Johns, compare notes with Nicole Kidman, or just snort coke out the back with Russell Crowe. They'll all be there and we hope you will be too. We'll shunt the final details your way next week. THE DR. FINBAR COMPETITION Mk. III The judges are finding it difficult to come to a decision. The median IQ of people on this list is very high. Consequently, there were some absolutely stunning entries. We realise that the entrants are probably losing sleep because they don't know whether they've won; our deepest apologies. We promise to resolve this matter soon. Have a nice pair of running shoes, The Dr. Finbar Trio.
