PROFESSIONAL NEWS
Dr Francis Payne's novella "Olympia" will be the first of Bambada Presss
chapbook line.
WHO'S WHO IN THE NUDES?
MSFC's Jocko & Jeanette made the front page of The Age 17/10/94, doing their
best Adam & Eve impersonations for the Gaslight Records Nude Day. Terry Frost,
who talked them into being there claims to have seen a quick flash of himself
on the television news. Meanwhile Damien Broderick appeared, fully clothed,
one assumes, in Mosaic, the Monash Uni Alumnus magazine, along with Andrew
Daddo. Both have B.A.s from Monash.
