Re: The Orchid...Atlantis and Other New York Tales

 I seem to be having trouble posting this, but here, I'll try again:

 Eric, has there been any progress with the Delany DVD? You mentioned 
before that if you did complete it, you might include Delany's short 
film "The Orchid". I very much want to see "The Orchid"...is there 
any way in the world that I can see it?
 Thanks.

-Jason
