I could definately see that being a Dean piece-found on the streets of Paris and glued down with his industrial glue. I'm glad I have not received one of these. I like your quotes--they should be bumper stickers. The dowry expectations have gone down considerably. You have held out so long and they see this as a negotiation tactic. They are only expecting paper products at the moment. No livestock is neccessary. Yuki is getting a bit long in the tooth and they fear she is becoming a spinster (she is 27) and do not want her to end up labeled a 'parasite single'. Please send sturdy paper plates soon! (and yes, that art was God awful. all that was lacking was glitter. I have none.)

Sorry about that, Lee Renaldo and Thurston Moore are the two guitarists from Sonic Youth. Ain't nothing wrong with Mr. Eddy! Going home soon, and just making a whole bunch of stuff.

Thanks, Val, it is good to be back...and in sunny Greece. We had ALL the weather you could imagine in France, even a horrid Mistral in Avignon! But it was also a fantastic trip and I collected many, many mail art omens along the way :-) I miss beautiful Sigean!

Got your new work in the mail today, thanks. I especially like the Sonic Youth Dirty sticker...how did you know that's my favorite record? In the past year I've seen both Thurston Moore and Lee Renaldo.

Hello there! Posted some pictures of the bookie I made for you. With picture of Liz and Phillip included. Is that what you received? I still don't get it... what did go wrong?

Uuuuh, football legends? It was about 'don't panic, sea monster'. Whatever did you receive?

Hello there, old friend! Sorry I've been away so long.  I have finally settled down after moving to Nashville, Tennessee, and I am ready to get back in to art-production.  Just wanted to send you an eHug!

How weird! But nice to hear that the bookie has arrived.

Val, still no blue bookie in Sigean? I will contact Europol.

You solved a puzzle for me, Moan Lisa send me art work and I wanted to send something back and I cannot find her page. Do you have her address? Please send it to me.

Hello Val,

No this is not coming from me. I never mail anonymously and also I am NOT a member of a fanclub. I aprreciate RJ, without any doubt, I have a piece by him in my archives but would never call myself a fan. I leave that juvenile boys and girls who wet themselves while seeing The Beatles for instance and like RJ I like the Beatles.

Arrived on the day? That's amazing, I thought it'd be late late late. Take it easy tonight at the Primeur, sounds like something I'd drive 8 hours to attend, but not fly for 30. Is flat me going? I'm starting to think, are there 2 of me? In Sigean and Paris? Try to remember something from tonight so you can tell me about it.

Hi Val...looks like I missed the PARTY! So sorry, I have not been on the computer except for scanning....HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!

I hear the cake was goooood! :-) and that you had good company to share your day with.

Good to hear the card arrived; those stories always gives me the chills!

As to my travel schedule; I've been grounded........

Looks like your birthday was extra fun with Katerina around!!! So glad it was a good one and happy to hear my card made it on the day.  Doing pretty good so far, out of 5 cards three landed at their destinations on the actual day, glad yours was one.  Now...what to do about the disappearing red bag pic from the Top 5....hmmmm....what to do, what to do?!? Hope you're well! xoxo

Glad that you received it. If you ever come through North Carolina I'll have to take you to get some good hush puppies. Not sure if the article said, but they're best dipped into butter. And some people wonder why Americans are so fat?

It sounds like you're having a lovely time in France. Enjoy the good company. I will be meeting a fellow mail artist in a couple of days...more than excited. I've already written 2000 words just about the back and forth. I'll post the encounter later on.

Thank you Val :D

OH Katerina, we'll have to see the photos of that!
