    Not lonely, full of artists in their own endeavors.  I have just sent a few cards out, we have a little bit of snow, Washington, DC can't handle any snow the cars slide all over and it is awful.  I hope you are warm and doing your mail art.

  • Eduardo Cardoso

    :) It was just a feeling. I know this place is full of nice people. And, yes! I'm warm and doing my mail art. Outside is cold. But nothing compared with Washington. It doesn't even snow here, at my town, during the winter. And in fact, I have never seen the snow.

    (And all of a sudden I think about the poetry of that missing view...)

  • Judy Skolnick

    Snow is like fairy dust coming down, pretty and white, cold, gray skies, omnious dangers and a lot of car wrecks.

    So Eduardo wants to see SNOW! A rare item in Greece, but yesterday we had SNOW...briefly, it melted today. Magnificent photos, Rod! And the "Burning bushes" takes the GOLD!

  • Judy Skolnick

    All this snow, what we need is some great weather in a great outdoor cafe

  • Eduardo Cardoso

    Cloudy where I am, we just had sleet and expect possible freezing rain and flurries tonight and tomorrow. I am sipping Mango and Passionfruit tea,  Nice and warm and tasty.

    Liz  has bought a juicer!  We started this pale grey day with a melon, lemon, apple and grape drink, yesterday it was apple, carrot, beetroot and celery.  I was just about half way through the glass when the doorbell burped and a young bloke with braces on his teeth delivered two dry-root cherry trees for Liz's allotment garden.

    I'm listening to Amiina's new CD 'Puzzle' that Saevi sent and which arrived yesterday.

    Last night, my recently formed street art collective, went out to the streets. We spreaded some pieces through my city, and it was fantastic. We were almost caught by the cops, around three times. But it was a success after all. :D

    This first project was a head, mocking Hitler, in the Hello Kitty's logo style, but with the face of Hitler instead, and saying Hello Killer. HHAHAH!

     

    I'll post pictures soon. :)

    Here it goes! From the streets of Sines to IUOMA café:

    Ok, here it goes:

     

    I exiled poetry from Babel's rubble

    I embraced the marble as a way of life

    And hung myself, hole of creation

    Ghost on the walls of a coffin

     

  • Eduardo Cardoso

    The poem is a metaphor for the situation we're living, in my city. People are lazy, and no one seems to have interest in art, or other rich things for the mind. Only a few people I know are involved in art. The city's galleries don't promote that much the local artists. And everything is made with a certain elitism, which sickens me. 

    The young people just care about drugs, alcool, and futile things. It's a sad situation. And people look indifferent to that... Like ghosts in the walls of a coffin.

  • Judy Skolnick

    Yea!! You have all the fun while I am in the office I will see ya'll later.
  • Rod Summers / VEC

    Yeah cake for me too... after I've sung the birthday song to Judy... because it's not nice to sing with a mouth full of cake... crumbs fly, oh my.
  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    It's your birthday, Judy, and IUOMA doesn't inform us of these very important things???? Well, if there's a bit of cake left :-) Shall we wait for Judy to finish at work before we start the celebration, music, dancing? OPA!
  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    OPA! Happy birthday, Judy...tis way after midnight here in Grece, already Feb.1. So, hope you have a great day ! (and kalinyxta zzzzz!)
  • Eduardo Cardoso

    Happy Birthday, Judy!
  • Judy Skolnick

    Wow, off work, this if fun
  • Eduardo Cardoso

    I just found a sticker of Cavellini in the movie Leon The Professional
  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Cavellini! Wow...joining us at the Cafe, thanks Eduardo. I am stopping by for a cup of tea, ot maybe a hot chocolate to ward off this flu bug! Looks like Judy had a fun Happy, Happy!

  • Rod Summers / VEC

    Sorry for the flu Kate, but it's a good excuse to be extra kind to yourself.

    My archive has a large ammount of Cavellini... he was .... generous....  he even appears in 'Mail Art Dada Skank' on my page although... apperently... he wasn't to pleased with the verse we made about him;~)

  • Rod Summers / VEC

    Hi gang, I had a great time and now I am getting ready to move from North West DC to South West DC, no weather change but I am now but the Washington Monument and will be by the US Capitol, prices just went up to high here. New address as of Feb. 7th

    Judy Skolnick

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Happy new home , Judy! Be sure to let us know when you move beyond the Capitol...into that white house, there....;-)
  • Judy Skolnick

    The move takes place Feb 7th and ends Feb 14th.  I will be schleping stuff the first week then the guys with a truck come the second week, then I have to find where I put all my stuff.  No way do I want to be near the White House much less in it, all those protesters are a pain.
