I've sent something to each of my friends as I get them but they are mostly international and mail seems to be very slow to get there so everyday I have an empty mailbox which saddens me a little. Maybe you could send me something good so I can smile at my mailbox and I promise to return the favor.  Happy New Years!

Thanks De Villo for your contribution to # 5 which arrived a few weeks ago, sorry for the delay in acknowledging, life has got in the way so i am trying to catch up now. Great addition to our book!

More work for the Humble Scribe. The official flower of MinXus:

Hi DVS.... Just wondered if you managed to write the article for the book.....?

GRAZIE !!!! UN ABBRACCIO :BRUNO

My arm & hand are slowly getting better, my handwriting is improving. I've been managing some collages lately, hopefully the painting & drawing again are not too far off.

Amici  cari ,scusate se non rispondo sempre , ma non so l'inglese , e usare il traduttore diventa complesso... io preferisco comunicare con le immgini... vi abbraccio . Bruno

DVS,

I dropped a card in the mail for you yesterday.  :)

I always dug Pearl Jam's cover of "I've Got a Feeling"

Anytime! It was included on the original Japanese release of 'Ten'. I'm a HUGE Beatles fan, but I think PJ did a great job with the song.

Thanks for the maybe miraculous Elgin Shroud shred and the nice welcome to the IUOMA. Nice surprise and perfect timing too! I could definitely use some life changing activity :) 

A Takamine G Series acoustic/electric, now I FINALLY have a left handed 6 string! It sounds great with my Dunlop Hendrix Wah-Wah.

A friend of mine in college had a Cry-Baby that I just absolutely loved. Unfortunately our house was burglarized back in August, so I'm currently without any means of recording, except plugging a vocal mic into the PC (which is in no way ideal).

-AWJ-

My mother got to see Hendrix twice, but always had a huge crush on Clapton (since his days in the Yardbirds). She actually got to meet him at the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony for my Grandpa, at which point he went on & on about how much of an influence my Grandpa was to him, Mom was completely stunned & speechless. (Sorry for rambling, that just still cracks me up.)

-AWJ-

My Dad always refers to Ginger as one of the "Perpetual Motion Drummers" of the 60's, the other being Keith Moon, of course. I have gotten to see Clapton live, it was about 20 years ago, but one HELL of a show! Alas, "Tales of Brave Ulysses" was not in the set, "Sunshine of Your Love" & "White Room" were though.

I plan on getting together with one of my oldest friends & goofing around with his music gear so that I can include some 'Texas Art Rock' CDs in my mailings.

Our tickets for the Xmas run in San Francisco arrived the day Jerry died...    :(

I've seen the rest of the group together, with Bruce Hornsby on keys, doing the majority of Jerry's vocals.

My first non-country music concert was when my mom took me to see Jethro Tull in 7th grade.

-AWJ-

I'm familiar with Blue Cheer. My parents always gave me grief about knowing "their" music better than they did. That was my teenage rebellion, listening to their albums at full volume, I mean really, how could they get mad about that? <smirk> It wasn't until Pearl Jam came along that I actually started listening to newer music. Up until that point it was just The Beatles, Tull, The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Hendrix, Arlo Guthrie, CSN, Cream, Blind Faith, Country Joe & the Fish, The Who, The Allman Brothers, etc.  :)

Hi,

Just to let you know that I received the DK-cult kit you sent me.  It is brillant and I am still laughing. Great job!  This is major, and it will take me awhile to get my blog together for this one.  Not to mention the 32 objects that need scanning.  Thank you again, and I am really proud of you son for sending something out.  Hang in there!  Love, Dad

Ah but you don't know my blogs, and you have set me a challenge!

Oohhh... a piece of the shroud of Elgin is filling my life with mystical energy....thank you!!

How Exciting! I received your mail art. Fantastic! Amazing I received the Barbie Valentine ON the day of her 50th anniversary!

DVS, thanks a lot for the fantastic MinxusMusic-ShroudOfElgin-Cerealism-TrashPo-Package!! I blogged everything here: http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/thank-you-for-the-minx...

Will do. I thought so in the first place, but it went like this--yes, no, yes, no--but yes.

Thanks for letting me know DVS! See you... :)

DVS, I will study every inch--it looks extremely amusing--thanks.

DVS! Got the ELgin/DKULT shrine! A Masterpiece of holy art! Thanks for the ceralism,Key  card to your hotel room,+ Minxus Holism Fluxus Manifesto You Rock!.Hey; by the way are you a big Burroughs Fan????

De Villo Sloan - I HUGELY look forward to the arrival of META-L - MANY thanks :-) XX

I hope you're kidding! Will try to back up using this new-fangled thing I got 3 years ago. No email came to tell me you wrote me a comment--I only saw it by mistake. Will you write Ruud too? It was bad not getting emails, but the avalanche that has started might be worse ...

Oh, well, if there's trouble in Seneca Falls, there's trouble everywhere. 

Whoa. Freaky De Villo. Are you spying on me? I mailed a matchbox yesterday...

That's me, BUTTer wouldn't melt in my mouth.

Hello, received a hilarious assortment of mailart today from you, blogged here: http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/mailart-from-de-villo-... thank you!!! something will be in the mail to you soon.

[O!: And how could I forget to mention Bill Laswell!]

Fun Blog.  Did I get any takers for my shroud?

Great blog, DVS - "Natural Born MinXus" - Yeah!!

Hi,  Somewhere I saw a message from you on the 9th of May but now I can not find it.  Anyway I found two nice homes for my Shroud, KDJ & Katherina.  I can't find the key for the cage I put it into, so decided to send the whole cage.

  Keep your eyes posted!

Superb! I also received your mail. In the process of catching up with the documentation, as life has been quite busy with....well.....partying. You understand, right?

Loved your post, so into everything on your page too.

Blog love all around!

It's been a DKult kind of day...a contract from Diane, tats from KDJ and a portable shrine and some awesome cerealism trashpo holism from you.  No doubts...I'm in, now to absorb it all, thanks you :)
