The Chicago Tapes Project website is now realunched! We've
introduced better navigation, more tape resources and an improved image gallery
with pictures from sister projects in New York, Anchorage, Miami and Prague.
We're still tweaking the site design, so any comments, questions or requests
are welcome.
As you may have noticed, we also have a new URL - chicagotapes.org,
and a new contact e-mail, tapes(at)chicagotapes(dot)org. Fear
not, the old adresses illcutyou.com/tapes and tapes(at)illcutyou(dot)com will
still continue to function. However, if you have a bookmark or link to illcutyou.com/tapes.html,
you will need to update it to one of the aforementioned addresses.
