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 Claire (aka Cleo) on June 17, 2012 at 8:57pm: You are one very noble and committed man DV. [Humility aside Dear Sir: you are my knight!]

Comment by De Villo Sloan on June 17, 2012 at 8:24pm: No need to thank me, Cleo. THE COMMITTEE owed me a favor, which I cashed in. We had been in the room all day, and when they got up to leave, I stood in the doorway and said: "Look no one goes anywhere until we settle the Cleo nomination. If someone has a problem, let's get it out in the open." By 4 am, you had the award. It was the right thing to do. That's the way I feel about it.

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on June 17, 2012 at 6:33pm: Thank you very much dear committee - the honour knows no words...[bounds...] =^_^=

Comment by De Villo Sloan on June 17, 2012 at 2:41pm: Speaking of gowns - Lorraine Kwan (Canada) has been involved in an amazing thing with Trash Fashion in Seattle.. More than a year ago she put out a call asking for clothing shreds. I'm not sure if it's connected, but anyway I think this should be on the Trashpo radar.

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on June 16, 2012 at 9:19pm: Postage is not based only on size, but on weight also. Postage also depends on contents - E.g. if the env. is rigid, if it has uneven contents, etc. [i have a scale, they help a lot!]
