correspondent, Oner? Been a long time...>

- hi t-man and folks. thanks for your concern, i miss you a lot. you
see i am quite behind that i read this mail today. the reason; i
resigned from servus and therefore lost my connection to the web. i am
writing this form an i-cafe but it won't go on like this. i applied
for a dsl connection (for home) and will also upgrade (if not renew?)
the damn old relic computer. i hope i'll catch up soon.

as you can guess from my silence i couldn't go/see robert in istanbul.
(i'd love some overdrive on guitars @ slow dancer, i love that song a
lot) my main concern was cost and also there was no company. my only
could-go-with-me buddy opted for dream theater for an
izmir-istanbul-izmir trip (600 km one way) (not a bad choice either
but can't compete with plant) so another opportunity has been missed.
i know i'll be damn regretted (i already am) but i just couldn't do
it. too much things to do: have 3 days off, get ticket, find travel
means, find a place to stay, etc. my dreams were a detailed review and
even a bootleg video but sorry...

Hansen and Paolo Pellegrino before heading back down to London to catch
the reunion gig. Oner has promised to update us with various amusing
youtube clips of their Zeptrek 2007.>

- thanks nech, i would indeed love to... in such cases of speaking
about goods we call "honey is dripping from your mouth" in Turkish.
forget the mediterranean trip but i'd go nuts for a london concert by
remaining zep members with jason.

folks, do not lurk and keep writing. it's a great thing to be a member
of fbo. i'll be back. by the way, i am not the only Turk @ fbo. there
is (maybe was, i don't hear from him for years) akbey kalkan and
another person i couldn't remember his name. they are/were dedicated
lurkers though...

love to you all...
