Re: MTAAs unsolicited testimonial for Rhizome.org


Hi Mark,

Can we have that in writing from T.Whid himself that he will be nice to all
of us on the list?

Although I think many may agree that he is already cute enough, those who do
not obviusly have not experienced T.whid's rather fetching & natural persona
in real life.

Ruth & I met him in New York, and he was cute. Just in case you need a
reference on how cute T.Whid is, I have placed some examples, links below
for all to view to show how cute this guy really is...
