heh, I started a thread! U F Orb 1 and the car they're affixed to made it to every Orb gig in April of 2001, too. --------boring Illinois mumbo jumbo------ in Illinois, over the last 5 years the fees changed dramaticly... When I got them, basic plates were $48. Add $11 for "personalized" plates, which contain at least 2 letters and at least 1 number. There was no price difference in cost for yearly renewal. "Vanity" plates, which were upto 7 letters were $78 each year. in 2002, the renewal fees went to $78 for normal & prsonalized & I think $108 for vanity no notice was given with the price hike. in 2004, personalized plates went to $85 to renew. Again, no advance notice from our government. So, it costs me $7 a year extra to promote The Orb. Current law only allows letters first, numbers last for cars, numbers first and letters last for "B" trucks. Mixing of letters and numbers is currently not allowed here. ------------- back to the fun stuff -------------
Can't beat it. And when someone actually GETS it, it's even cooler. Hehehe
the best one for me was when Fil Le Gonidec GOT it at the Masquerade in Atlanta... Another Orb listee ran into me @ Coachella 2001 and told me how cool it was that he saw the plates in Atlanta a few weeks earlier. IL changed their plate design in 2002, so now the older style makes for great wall hanging. I have one in my music room. The other (as I've been told) is above a kitchen sink in a house near the Battersea powerstation. WELL worth it, hands down. Gavin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
