Subject: Interested in how you came up with "The Shame of Ziman"
From: Michele Ziman

Hi my name is Michele Ziman,
Not that I am offended by your choice in name I am more curious, maybe because I feel that due to my dad's high standing corporation and such I have a bit of a paranoia complex. I would in fact like to know how you did come up with "Ziman" such a random word/or last name. So please be helpful and respond back

Michele Ziman
*A could be fan, with knowledge to how come?*

Subject: about those sandwhiches...
From: Todd

So here's the thing; I met some dude at a show who slipped me a piece of
paper with www.thebathysphere.com written on it. It may have been you. It
may have been one of your co-horts. Regardless, I've been periodically
checking in on the site, and by periodically, I mean regularly. I'm really
impressed with the work you guys do, as well as the overall layout of the
site. You guys got a good thing going down. And linking to Cigs & Red Vines
= major bonus points.

Subject: The Bathysphere.
From: Nick

Thank you for being a KS/MO based music/film blog. Thank you for
being beautiful.

Seriously, I came across you guys on HypeMachine and instantly added
you to my RSS feeds, I really appreciate anyone who makes an effort
to ensure that those of us in the "fly-over" states don't run the
risk of becoming socially irrelevant. I look forward to reading your
blog daily, and hopefully I'll see at least one of you at some
upcoming Lawrence/Kansas City shows!

Subject: Ping Pong Debauchery
From: Nicholas "Doctor Pong" Newlin

Hey hey,
My name is Nicholas Newlin (aka "Doctor Pong"), and I was the dude who got
your bathysphere question right at the Arrested Development marathon. Also,
I passed a couple of my mix cds off to one your bathysphere cronies. I don't
really no which one, but I promised him that I would check out the
blog...and I must say I couldn't be any happier and pleased. For one, the
look of it is great...Alright, kudos on the great looking
blog and keep in touch
