I've been waiting _so_ _long_ for some of you French (Un)Fries to pop up
through the doorway!!! Welcome aboard. You win the all time greatest first
post award--hands down (though Bodhi gets honorable mention, doubly so for
posting his "cherry" twice).

I, for, one would sure like to know more about the whole raw scene in
4rance and Europe! My wife and I spent several days tenting at the Chateau
in the late 80's. We corresponded for several years with a Dutch fellow
(who would come down and eat overripe durian through his working at ORKOS)
who kept us up on the goings on, but the communication fizzled and I have
been hankering for more knowledge of the French scene. (Bruno Cromby
breaking away from the Chateau was loveliest music to my ears when I heard
of it...)

I will limit myself to one question: Ever hear of a Dr. J. Fraedin (sp?)?
Is he still into the food stuff? What is his shpeil these days? (Oops, that
was three questions ;))

It is sad. And enough is enough, eh?

You tell wise stories, Mr. Peyrat. Hope you stick around for awhile, pull
up a chair, and spin some more yarns...
