Batgirl - I made a mistake. Diane Keys owes me 17 cents; not you. I will send you my TCG chapter soon.

Well, I can't very well send blank sheets now, can I? As I said, I've had to plan this one out, and the ideas I have take some time to execute. I also had to buy some stuff. Furthermore, have to make and mail 7 identical copies, although only Cheryl and Bifidus have sent me copies of theirs. Fluxus as SSRI , why not. I'm sorry the piece came postage due. I weighed it and then tried to figure out on the Postal Service website how much it would cost. I suck. How much do I owe you?

Some of us are still working on he CG chapters, only got my printer working again yesterday; beyond that I've been suffering from a creative block on that project. Cheryl herself said at the onset of the project that there wasn't any sort of deadline, so I assure you my pages will be on their way in the near future.

Dear Batgirl - the chapters are easy. You just fold an 8.5 x 11 sheet in half. You can do as few as 4 pages for TCG = 8.5 x 11 sheet. See blogs by Bifidus, Marie Wintzer, and Cheryl Penn that have sample chapters. Forget flomax. I received mail-art from Ficus Strangulensis yesterday suggesting I see my Dr. about FLUoXetine - gold star on that one. E-mail about anything you're receiving you might think is connected to me - a lot of cheap knock-offs going around these days. Thanks for sticking me with the overdue postage. My kinda gal.

Ok, so it looks like several people have done the CG booklets, but I have only received Cheryl's and Bifidus's. Are people not following the rules or what? Cheryl confirmed with me a while ago I have to send them to every-effin-body. What gives?!

I'll have to dig around for the DVS Crimson Giant piece. I didn't know he did one. I thought we were supposed to mail to all participants.

The flomax bit refers to an interesting piece of mail art I recieved when Tania was around, and someone asked me not to attribute it to themselves. So it is is in my photos as Anonymous. I'll show you which one it is if Anonymous grants consent. Maybe no one will be watching and it will be safe.

No, I have not abandoned the project. And the Flomax piece came well before the Crimson Giant, I am trying to do them in order. But most stuff I send out, I am not sure what it is or what it will be until it is done. I have actually had to plan out what this little booklet will say and look like, and procure materials to execute it. The fact that I have to make 7 identical copies fairly freaks me out. I have no plans for Thanksgiving (except the Indian Buffet) so I think I may get started on that day. Also, why is there even a hatchet to bury?

Ah well Batgirl, we shall put the past behind us. Bury the hatchet, so to speak. A new beginning every minute. (I will overlook the flomax comment.) Then I am doubly interested to see what you sent. But how do I explain this to our friends in South Africa? They are growing impatient. You have, then, officially left the project?
Comment by Elaine B(atgirl) on November 21, 2010 at 2:38am
Ah, Darling DeVillo... no. I am totally intimidated by my crimson giant project. I have had to actually map that one out in my mind before I start it. The one you received was inspired by the flomax bit you sent me 4-6 weeks ago, and is a repurposing of the most bizarrely mistargeted direct mail I have ever received. I am a bit behind in my mail art, but I am catching up.
