Postal History Special Mailing for the 50th Anniversary of the first man in space

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Well, given that our Valentine's Day Special Mailing has been such a success, it's perhaps time to think about the next Special Mailing.

The theme for this one has been suggested by Valentin Dolgov, and will commemorate Yuri Gagarin becoming the first man in space on 12 April, 1961.

The Mailing could celebrate any and all space achievements since then, with, of couurse, an emphasis on postal history.

PLEASE JOIN THE MAILING.

I'm willing to coordinate the mailing list again.

So far we have 2 participants (both called Valentin[e], but to be so called is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition to join in) as follows:

 

1. Valentin Dolgov, PO Box 5308, Tomsk, Russia 634057

2. Valentine Herman, 1 Rue de la Vieille Fontaine, F-11130 Sigean, France

STARSHIP, ENTERPRISE CALLING ALL MAIL ARTISTS

Space: the final frontier
These are the voyages of the Postal History Boutique
Its 5 year mission
To explore strange new artistic worlds
To seek out new life and new civilizations
To boldly go where no Mail Artist has gone before

I will wait for your interpretive dance video! Are "brave" or "drunk" deal breakers? :-)

Val, my therapist absolutely loved that dream...fodder for years....Jennie, not in this case...I'm afraid one or the other is absolutely essential but I'm thinking before we get to my "Get Carter" dance I should start off with my beachball dance to Theme from A Summer Place. There's no full frontal nudity in that one....

[Jennie Hinchcliff]

Hee hee hee! "A Summer Place"...all of your screen gem references are FAB! I'm a bit of a noir girl myself -- living here in SF, there are some greats: "The House on Telegraph Hill", "The Lady From Shanghai" and "Dark Passage". And let's not forget "Vertigo"... :-)

[David Stafford]

Ah, Vertigo...near the top of my list. No one ever captured their own twisted nature better than Stewart standing in for Hitchcock.What an obscenely brave act of self-revelation. Also great Herrmann score.

[Nikki Soppelsa]

me thinks you have more than two !

[Marcia Cirillo (Fifi LePew)]

I'm a space cowgirl
Bet you weren't ready for that
I'm a space cowgirl
I'm sure you know where it's at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

David: is there an Art Dance like a rain Dance, if so, perhaps you could begin there -- clothed or not? If  form an IUOMA band to accompany you and want a rhythm guitariist, I'm your man; Regards, Val

[David Stafford]

Okay, I like the idea of IUOMA band....As long as I get to sing "Train Kept a Rollin'"...Possible Names: Return to Senders, Do Not Benders, Going Postal, Coast to Coastal, The Stamps, Dead Letter Office,  PO Box X, Address Unknown, Postage Due, Arte Poste, Ruud People...
