Sept/Oct 1975 RAIN Page 19 NOTES FROM EUGENE Notes from Eugene, Brian Livingston Dear Steve: · Thanks for your latest bundle of stuff, most of which was new to me. , Your packet, in response to my packet, has inspired me to create still another packet.... After returning from Olympia (The NW Media Conference), I stayed up until 5 that morning sorting piles of info I'd accumulated over the past year. Especially since Olympia, my room was beginning -to look as though _it were inhabited by a mad Xerox copier. Everything got into a much handier alpha file, except for the Bend in the River stuff (who?) which I still don't quite have the nerve to index, so it sits in a pile 15" high in one corner.
