U know they do care! :-) ;-p Looking forward to your mail art! Chromatophore is coming to an end--this week... next years show is 100 add and pass books that I am making and hopefully people will add and mail all around... and then back to me August 2010. Haven't officially launched that yet but am busy making "Mail Sketch 2010 Books" Should i send you one??

I made you a little mail art out of the red envelope you send me... hope it makes it!

Hey there,
That postcard you sent me was great! Thanks very much for that. I posted it on the Heebee blog just a moment ago and it gave me a big smile! You asked about the name "Test Tower". I first started using that moniker when my friend and I were doing sound for the live performances of the notorious art gang "The Architects of Doom" back in the 80's and early 90's in and around SF. I have an old poster and a booklet "Atomic Blast" made by The Architects (circa 1988), and was going to show you the rather interesting cover, but for some reason I can't upload it onto here right now. Frustrating! Aw well.........those were interesting times.

One of the little paintings that I did for a local shop.

Thank you for the bag of GOODIES! Very cool! Just what I need to get me to work on some mail art collage pieces. I've been super busy with other work... but will come back to my love of mail art...

Hi Jennie,
Glad to hear you are taking the 4D plunge! Just the notion of you joining in the fun has the distant jungle drums starting up. Looking forward to that. I'll be sending you a Heebee souvenier! Test

thanks Jennie,
I hope your shopping.
Pass to friends and to anyone.
I notice when I get it! Embrace.

Hello Jennie,

Convocatória Mail Art Call

Wolf Project

Your pic made me think you knew about SRL (odd isn't it)? I can't really recall your SRL friend, but that name sounds familiar. I was really into sound myself at the time, so I may have met him. Dunno.

Hi Jennie
Today I received your letter. Thank you very much. You can see on my blog: http://charmot-in-my-mailbox.blogspot.com/. Did you receive mine?
Best.
Denis

I was just reading about Mark Pauline moving his Survival Research Lab from his old SF spot to a little north of Marin. Know who he is? I used to have a lot of fun hangin around those "Scientists" and helping out with his shows. Anyway, I have been trying to send you something for a few days now. Can't get to the Post Office because of the flooding up here. Gak! At least my house was spared from the catastrophe (by the hair of my chinny chin chin)! I'm gonna try to get down there again later today. Even if I make it there, I-5 is still closed, so be patient, something cool is on the way. And thanks for the Holiday mail!

"Dadahomeya news" is my new mail art zine, soon I'll distribute it in the mail art network and will place pages of zine at IUOMA site.

Here is the start of my experiment. Let's hope you will receive it....

I lived in SF on Sutter and then Bush from '76 to '85, when I moved to San Leandro, but still hung around there pretty much till about 2003 when I moved up to Washington State. I still love to visit there. My Dad used to live on Haight St. so I had my share of the unusual as a teenager in the sixties and early 70's there. By the way, did the (ahem!) mail art I sent to Podville make it into your book? Just wondering.
