[kj] 1000 SUNS Outside Gate and PHANTASMAGORIA

[Christof hamille]

I've been trying to track down a copy of Decline III for years.  Allegedly 
it is coming out with the boxset of all the movies.  But that has been in 
talk for years.

Picked up American Hardcore today.  Not sure yet on that.

Afro-Punk was pretty good but, obviously, different point of view.

I am in the negotiations stages of doing a documentary and live show on 
Negative Approach.  Not sure if I can make the legal matters happen but I am 
hoping so.  And then after that I hope someone cares enough to want to watch 
it.

Fingers crossed

Chris
