Track
6 - Ja-On
Hillman
Your chance to enter the strange fantasy
world of the eldest of the Hillman offspring. Wear your helmet of choice,
as much of this catacomb is still under construction. Even when finished,
if ever, you will need a unique set of road maps, compasses, and strong
inner ear equilibrium to maneuver the myriad pathways.
The highlight of Ja-On's
site is his full length novel: COURSE
OF CHAOS
Track
7 - Robin
Hillman
This bizarre collection of pages is too
off-the-wall and multi-media-dependent to be captured in any printed form
so enter this cyber tomb at your own risk. Whatever you do, don't encourage
him...check out his Bananarchy page if thou doubtest that of which I speak.
Track 8 - China-Li
Hillman
China (pronounced Cheeeeena) posted her
first page here when she was only 10 years old. She actually is the only
member of the family with any formal training in website creation (she
took a University course over the summer of '96). Check out her "before-"
and "after-" course efforts. The smells and sounds of the all the Shrine
Circuses she has visited over the years seem to have left an indelible
mark on her memories of the "big top." Much of China's time on the Internet
now involves the creation of Celtic and fantasy sites.
