The Great Mail-Art Trashpo Summit

[De Villo Sloan]

Wanted or unwanted, Trashpo is "in the air" these days. Does it matter if work called Trashpo is also asemic? Are there basic issues about Trashpo in mail-art that people want to discuss? This thread has been established for specific discussions involving Trashpo and asemics.

I looked at her blog (DK). She's made herself a follower (of herself) and she has a section called "Is this thing on?" I'm not going to miss this one.

I'm here--just been buried under my hoard all weekend. Finally made a snail path to the computer. Yes, I followed myself on my own blog when I figured DeVillo was my only 'fan'. It was purely accidental but thought it was hilarious that you can do that on blogger. I have been hoping to collect more trash to make some trash books but it's been slim pickings around here. Think I need to visit Benny the Bin and import some Grecian Trash.

The "Is this thing on?" section is priceless.  I visit that section every day.

Slim pickings, uh oh.  Sounds like you need trash stash help again. You know I can help, and I improve with experience. At least that's what the books say is supposed to happen.

You are so funny Nancy--please help enable my trash addiction!  I do try to be discreet when collecting garbage so as not to completely humiliate myself. Sometimes I try to pretend that I dropped it then stealthfully pick it up.   Improving with experience? cool, this could lead  to being a Trash appraiser and procurement specialist.

Cool -- does that title come with a decent salary?  Hold on out there, I will enable.  Some things demand enabling; I don't know how enabling got such a bad reputation.  Look for more this week.

lol, pretending that you dropped it.  But very smart.

You're right Theresa, 'liking' your own comment. Now that I've never done. Virtual way of gazing at yourself in the mirror I guess:)

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Is there something wrong with gazing in the mirror?  I do it now and then to practice looking mean before leaving the house.

[DKeys]

Have you ever thought you looked fantastic until you got out in the light of day?

[Nancy Bell Scott]

No, never.

And if you can find this post in the hierarchy of posts in less than four minutes, I'll send you a medal.

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Ok then, I'm ready -- after all, you gave it the word "trashpo" in the title.  Um, what's the literary part?  Or we can just make that up as we go along.

Trashpocalypse--where decomposition and composition meet

"where decomposition and composition meet" -- that's brilliant.
