Dear I.C.E.-ers,
        I'm sorry I missed the meeting on 2 February, but I
was laid up with back trouble.  Please let me remind you of
the 25 April project I discussed at the previous meeting,
the interdisciplinary event organized previously by The
Georgia Review and the Georgia Museum of Art, and involving
a poet and a painter-both of whom are also guitarists.  The
consensus at the previous meeting was that this could be
incorporated as an opening-evening event; I would hate to
have this event now end up in competition with the event
proposed below, since ours is set--and was set prior to the
I.C.E. planning.
