sisters merchandise

well it does seem that either there is something being worked on or we will never hear the sisters live again, or on a studio release again, much less get any mechandise...

two things on this imo:

1) until the websites come down, it ain't over...
2) and something should happen in 2005 either way that will let us all know for sure...

if nothing happens here, then it might be too real to still believe in andrew... :cry:

and when it's over, will we dream? :|

yeah, me too, i tried to send a message to devnull, even though they aren't interested, at : badlydrawnmush@twee.co.uk reminding them to update the registration at least... it was Oct 16... and the Reptile House and Merciful Release sites expire around spring '05...

Someone recently (either on here or on Dominion) said their letter to the fan club was returned as they had "gone away" (whatever that means).

That wasn't me but I sent one about a month ago and got it returned about two weeks ago. It was marked "gone away," also :(


Oh well, I'll just have to keep buying non-legit merch (and super old stuff) off of ebay...their loss really.

So what does gone away mean. That doesn't sound like official post office terminology to me. Does it mean they no longer use that p.o. box number, or that they've gone away on holiday so nobody's there to collect the mail. Surely though if there's nobody there to collect the mail as long as they're paying for a p.o. box the mail should just sit there until it's collected?

That's exactly what the post office put on things when the new owner says it's not theirs. In other words it sounds like some unsuspecting person has taken on a PO Box number which was ,erm, 'pre-owned'.

If that's the case then it sounds like someone forgot to pay their bills and no longer have a p.o. box. :urff:
