Quote from DKult Member Meeah Williams

"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on August 13, 2012 at 7:32pm: Or: tape each envelope to a bigger piece of cardboard and send them off as is ...

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on August 13, 2012 at 7:31pm: Or: same idea, but we'll all just send you equivalent postage and deal with the uncanceled ones ourselves.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on August 13, 2012 at 7:26pm: Outrageous, outrageous, outrageous. Lots of tiny mail arts make it through. That they'd turn you away with a whole slew of them ready to go, well I don't know what. A pox on them.

Why don't you put them in plain "legal" envelopes, send them to us, and we'll all send the uncanceled stamps inside back to you? Plus the button donation.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 13, 2012 at 7:25pm: That's terrible Stephanie. Ugh! I'm trying to think of a solution. Maybe somebody can think of something.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 13, 2012 at 7:03pm: KDJ is with Jesus Jim for now. We await her Second Coming.

Comment by DKeys on August 13, 2012 at 6:11pm: KDJ has had a series of personal tragedies so she has left IOUMA for now. DKult has been keeping a vigil for her since then and any good thoughts that can be sent her way will be appreciated I'm sure. DKult is in mourning without her--the black hooded togas are out.

Comment by Svenja Wahl on August 13, 2012 at 5:04pm: Wow Stephanie, super!!!

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on August 13, 2012 at 4:24pm: Yikes Lynn, I'd missed it, how'd that happen? Must have been busy standing in the road greeting cars entering town and handing out trashpo to underexposed tourists. Great tub! Scrap? Horrifying. :-} The rusty "face" Erni caught is serious fun. Thanks for sending me back there.

As for the button TrashPo-Litzer, maybe the committee will include those of us who said "I want one." No? Ok. Just a shameless semi-attempt to semi-hijack a Politzer.

Comment by Lynn Radford on August 13, 2012 at 3:42pm: I believe you are correct, DVS. Unless someone else had their mitts in it... Anyone else want to confirm? Or deny?

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 13, 2012 at 3:36pm: OK - the Button Committee will be nominated for the TrashPo-Litzer. Who are the members of the committee? Is it Stephanie Blake, Claire Dinsmore, and Diane Keys? Please confirm. Lynn Radford is making the nomination.
