well thank you amigo and yuppers already on my way for the second visit..keep smiling

Love the heebie jeebie land stuff! Will definitely send something in.

I know the area you speak of VERY well. In the 60's, 'cause that's where we kids hung out instead of going to school, in the 70's I was focused on studying Chinese and living in Hong Kong, in the 80's I was working on campus in Women's Studies. I had a Friday afternoon jam in my office there for a few years but that kind of humane activity ended, as all good things do. I am wondering, now, which building exactly 'cause I'm sure I'd know it. :)

I didn't originate black is a yellow shoe (is that right?) -must have been someone else. Did you ever make it to Eat Your Art Out? My Mom and I did that a few years in a row. I started doing mailart in the mid to late 70's and almost always did collage postcards and rubber stamping (till I learned how to carve my own - then I was obsessed with that). Anyway, it's great to remind someone of a great time in their life. I'm glad my address did that for you. :)

Did you go to Berkeley High? We came to Berkeley for my Mom to go back to school and my first year here I was at West Campus.

yes..I´m better today.. ;-) and I´ll take my ass out of the house in a few minutes and go to the nature for breathing resh air..here in the city it´s a bit hard to do..

Oh, yeah, I totally know where you're talking about and even which building. That weird white church (actually a chapel) is where I sang my first operatic recital (long story!) and I'm sorry to tell you this but Cody's closed its doors a while back. They were a landmark I really hated to see leave. Almost all of the old independent booksellers are gone now. I got drunk (a true rarity!) in Kip's once after class (I was doing an intensive Japanese course and we all went out with our TA one evening and got plastered) and literally fell under the table (!). I miss the Orange Julius - they made the best burgers but they're long gone too now. Sigh. It's really fun to be reminded of other times in Berkeley - it's not the way it once was but it's still pretty. I still have my PO Box there because of growing up there and then working there for so many years but my husbnad is the only one who still works at Berkeley and even my Mom (she LOVES Berkeley) lives in El Cerrito now. I live in Richmond and love it. I grew up hearing it was terrible (and it does have some rough areas) but it's more comfortable living here because there are neighborhoods where people have lived forever and there are places to park and you can walk or cycle to the grocery store without someone holding you up or panhandling you. The gap between rich and poor isn't as in your face as there now either.
I think we're lucky that we lived there when we did. It's still close enough to visit but I'd just as soon not live there anymore. Such is the way of the world I guess. :)

BTW, until you told me you'd lived in Berkeley in the 70's and 80's, I was tripping on your picture 'cause you look so familiar. When you mentioned Berkeley, I figured that must be why. :)

Lol... not boring at all. :) I did notice you didn't say you lived in Berkeley, sorry, just being sloppy while typing (SWT... could become a great addition to online communication! :) My Swedish boyfriend was in People's Park when that whole debacle occurred. He couldn't believe it. In those days, Sweden was my utopia. :) Yep, yep, yep. Where did you live in the city? I spent a fair amount of time over there, too - mostly in the Haight and then I worked in the financial district for a while before I went to Sweden, for Ma Bell. :) I wrote a song about taking the bus over the bridge every day once. LOL... those were the days when I was still singing in public. :) Now I'll stop and try not to bore YOU. :) I'm sending you something also. Mail is a good way to communicate the visuals and the intangibles - ironic and iconic. :)

thank you so much..

But mine isn´t there allready..?? I sent it a week ago to your place..?? It´s slow :-(

Good morning test, nice to hear from you. I took at peak at your island paradise this morning, let my mind float a bit and I see what it comes up with.

Hi Test.... I do like your Island paradise !

thank you..!!

So funny - I worked on Bush St., just below the entrance to Chinatown. :) Yeah, Top Dog is still around and still good, though the one I have been to most recently is at 51st and Broadway rather than in Berkeley. There is still one in Berkeley, but I think it's on Northside, not on Durant anymore. I love the Paramount! I've seen some great shows there over the years and it got restored really beautifully some years ago. What a cool job you had - though I can imagine how creepy it might be to go into those old theaters with a flashlight and no one else around. :) Wow, the old Pussycat Theater - I haven't thought of that in years!!! Lol...

Hi Test Tower
I got it! I have been on the road for the last few weeks and I have been really slow to catch up with my mail art correspondence...I will be posting your most excellent mail art on my website tonight with others

Thanks so much....the 4th dimension rocks!

Dear friend,
I´m happy to tell that the 4th dimension had entered with great tunes..
love it all..need to liste to it again now..
kiss
Shiva

of course we will..!!

Hiya, Test! I got a missive from Heebie Jeebie Land yesterday - thanks so much! I'm working on something to send you on that theme and it should come your way in the next week or so now that I've finished the documentation for the Nudity show. It turned into a 46 page chapbook! Much more involved than I'd originally planned for but worth it in the end. :)

I love it..told you! Is it "Beck" that smooth my ears (some songs on the cd..?) Can you send me a playlist?

kiss kiss..

i thought the cotton picker might like it...! sending some sunshine from california your way!!!
cheers

Thanks for letting me know the card arrived. And thanks for putting into words that creepy feeling that I get when I see unidentified aerial objects.

hey Test,what´s up there?

Hello Test Tower... long time no hear from... what cha up to these days?

I very much enjoyed learning your dancing wallpaper beginnings of
HEEBEE JEEBEELAND! Thank you for looking at my page (DAK) of our outdoors friends. cheers

oh yes..let´s rock it again..

Hello there Test Tower.... no you haven't mentioned those things lately... caller... I'm listening... Must you always appeal to my vanity? Just kididng. I miss you. I wish I had more time for writing...

I sent one more..thing..ATC card..and a picture I hope makes it..Let me know if you like or hate it..it was an idea I never expanded on..

Long story, but yes I do. If I receive an oversized package, the postal person sends it back to the post office. Like many in NYC I don't have a car, so I have to walk 18 blocks to get the package.

Thanks for the kind words, I am trying to learn photography

And this is supposedly what we in Washington, DC, are famous for

Yes it is spring and this is the Cherry Blossom Festival week. The kick-off of the tourist season for us. There are an awesome amount of tourists now. Very crowded here. It is raining and getting windy tomorrow and they will all blow away, pink rain.

I did and am looking at it more closely tonight. Am still investigating a lot of sources. Thanks for sending the link to me. Van

Hola Test,

Thank you for your comments!
I can say about your mail art that I love it!

Hola Test,

I have to move and still looking for a place to live. I do not have a new address yet, I will let you know when I have one (hopping soon!!)

Test,

I look at your project and I will participate as soon as I get seetle down, I hope the deadline is not coming soon!
I used to be very active but looking for a place is taking all my time and energy, is not easy in a big city!!

I liked what you wrote!
At the gallery I show my art I always have to tell a story..and most of the time,. I just make stuff up..Who knows how to draw stuff like that..you just do..
