Thanks for sharing the video-opening - the first triangle to gain such recognition.

And unfortunately(fortunately?) yours is the first triangle in the series to arrive physically damaged. It is the second to arrive repackaged by the USPS that I am aware of.

Glad it made it in the end, and even better is the fact that you liked it.

I received a great Trashpo envelope/artwork from Phillip Leche who turned out to be Finn Badger after abit of investigation. But the US post master ( my postmaster, it says so himself) though it ahd been damaged in transit so put it in an envelope:

If you follow the link there is a video of the opening, which I did with one hand holding the tablet in the other. Unfortunately too  late for the Oscars.http://youtu.be/pdS85gOY1ww

i have seen lists in english here in, ahem, England, of course. I shall collect them for you. A longtime ago, in the Pre-trashpo Era , I had a large collection but never found a way of using them and chucked them away in the end. How shortsighted it seems now.

Comment by DKeys on January 29, 2015 at 4:24pm

that's an interesting point Neil! i've found and we've now seen lists in Spanish but none from any other countries. How odd as we have trashpoets from other locations such as Eduardo, carina. 

Comment by Neil Gordon on January 29, 2015 at 3:52pm

DK you always bring listpo to new heights! You are the "Margret Meade" of Listpo!!!!!  Wouldn't it be cool if some of the other IUOMA peeps could send their found listpo in different languages????

Maybe its not "found" art-But the art found us??????

Comment by DKeys on January 28, 2015 at 10:44pm

Nice!! particularly love the "O"  i find a lot of shopping lists in Spanish too and some in Spanglish too

Tomoe joining Trashpo is very exciting. FINALLY there can be a DKULTJA (Dkult Japan). This has been a challenge for years.
