Hey Paul,

Your art looks as cool as i remember it - still have nightmares of almost knocking over a huge pyramid painting of yours! I also remember the huge speakers you scored in the Wellington flat and your green suit!
Been trying to track down the Wellington crew - Dave, Steve and yourself as I plan to come back for your next summer (i've been in the US for 6+ years)... I'm not surprised to find none of you on facebook! If you could email me back and perhaps share Dave and Steve's emails (with their permission) I'd appreciate it as I'd love to catch up with who remain the coolest cats i've ever met.
Apologizes that this is the only way i can get in touch...

My email is: eyerob.com@gmail.com

Thanks man!

All the best,
Rob Mackenzie
