Mapping out DP fans across the world
There is still a bunch of hardcore Deep Purple fans who stand up against the spam and crap present on usenet these days. They hang out in the original forum for Deep Purple fans, the usenet group alt.music.deep-purple. An idea that came up in the group recently was to map out where on earth the DP fans are. Go to Frappr! and register your presence.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Nice idea, my contribution comming up shortly!

I used to hang out at Usenet in the late 90s. Then there was a guy obsessed with cal Jam who scared us all and then I disappeared. Then I hung out at the Deep Purple Forum here at THS. Then I went to the beginning of the new forum. Then I disappeared. Now I’m coming back, but still with not much time. I’m in Brazil.

(I’m sad because the upcoming concert is sold out, and I don’t have a ticket 🙁 let’s play the cd again.)
Finally added my entry + photo. Hehe.
