Grex Arts Item 85: The NEW Performance Network Item: From 10 July 1994
Entered by other on Sun Jul 10 18:27:24 UTC 1994:

        Hi!  My name is Eric R. Bassey, and I'm the new Assistant Technical
Director for Performance Network of Ann Arbor.  I noticed the need for an
updated PerfNet item, so this is it!  New information will be forthcoming as I
have moments in which to enter it.
        The lapse since last entries is partly due to the fact that Matt Fulton
is no longer on the staff of the Network and I am the first overlap between
that organization and this since his departure.
        I'm late for work now, so I will enter the current schedule as soon as
        I
get a few minutes free.  Stay tuned!!
