Ok, great, will be looking for it. His smile at prettylily's present is probably as big as it will get. Or it's as big as I will see--he doesn't smile AT people. His face doesn't work that way.

Nancy, I just sent off mail art to you, with another envelope inside for your scrooge postman! I know you will be on the look out for him and if you must, "address" it to him. hope we get a real SMILE one day!

Nice word, Neil ; "trash-ter-piece"...Trashpo on the way to you, too!

Comment by Thom Courcelle on December 13, 2011 at 12:25am

I'm still luxuriating in Neil's delectible new word... "Trash-ter-piece."  Poetry indeed!!

Comment by DKeys on December 12, 2011 at 11:55pm

I think we are all mail art addicts. I received TWO wonderful pieces of mail art with notes"to that someone special in our lives". It sounds like we are all having a torrid affair--not with the postman, but with our art! Thank you Nancy and P.Lily, Dario will love what you have sent him and I hope you receive mine soon.

Cant wait to see another Amy original trashbook! 

DVS-could only do a fluxus performance if I had enough tattooed pigs

Comment by Neil Gordon on December 12, 2011 at 11:31pm

Wow,thanks, peaches opened the "old school" way- Yes i think trash is very romantic! In fact when i was a kid i wanted to be a garbage man when i grew up. My great grandfather Jacob came to this country  with nothing and became a junk peddlar! How about"Victorian-Trash Romance novels?

Comment by Neil Gordon on December 12, 2011 at 10:29pm

I think i was a Mudlark in another life... I like " finding "Gewgaws and Baubles" In the mud of he Connecticut River! Long live Trash!

Chicago Flux Fest 2012 is calling for performance scores. Can we start a petition demanding DK to do a performance at the Chicago Flux Fest?

I demand a DK performance at Flux Fest.
