    Hi Jon, I'd love to have one of your records! If you accept my Friend request, I'll send you a message with my address.

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Hi Jon, and thanks for the latest card!

    So 'No Strils'  (I think it's better like that) to make a postcard.has come into existence. I'm more a hamster man, than a guinea pig one, but if the Nostrils records you are offering a real vinyl records, then can I have one, too, please, If not, not, cos I only have a record player.

    And know you have a 'fixation' about teeth fixatives? Well, it takes all sorts to make a postcard.

    I'll be mailing you something back soon, and, in he meantime, hope that you and yours are well.

    Bestest, Val

    Bonjour Jon!

    Nice to hear from you again after quite a while, and thanks for the lil card. I see you have now gotten to 1989: slow down, man, or you'll get another bump on your head!

    Hope you are well, and having a good summer.

    Hi Jon...I should of put this together quicker, but I'm a little slow...the music was fun and got me chuckling aloud, which is rare...thank you!

  • Kris Naylor

    Thanks for the nostrils! Fun! Kinda like an anatomy lesson...

  • taidgh

    Hello Jon. Thanks a million for your zine! I got it today and have already started reading it. Good stuff! I should have a review of it on my blog when I'm finished. Take it handy!

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Fantastic '6800 miles'! Fantastic journal! Thanks for sharing it with us all.

    It makes great reading.

    I especially liked:

    -- all the hotel and casino ventures, and it was good that you enjoyed being with your parents, even though your father seems to be a bit of a mischief maker (day 18)

    -- reading about all of your food adventures (did no-one go to a bathroom at all? No, don't answer that!). What's a 'hushpuppy'? In England it's a sort of non-Elvis type suede shoe. How many pounds did you put on in 29 days?

    -- Pecos TX dudes with cowboy hats, cowboy boots and swimming costumes

    -- the nothingness, emptiness and boring-ness of driving long distances when there's nothing to see

    -- the vinyl & music store adventures

    -- taco trunk eat outs (we only have pizza vans, alas)

    -- the Petrified Forest and Dearly Departed and the flea market in Pasadena and the Big Sur (did you meet a Confederate General from... Richard?) and the St Louis City Museum

    -- losibng and finding Route 66...and getting your kicks on it, of course

    GREAT! Diffferent to, but just as absorbing as, your Oriental adventure.

    Where are you going next year?

    Bestest, Val 

  • Amy Irwen

    You are all as noted! You have a lot of patience to put that music together..
  • Sarah Churchill

    Jon, some nostrils came my way yesterday, and it can only be from you! :)
    Thank you. Blogged here http://www.purplepepperdesign.co.uk/mail-art-monday-killer-colour-t...

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Hey, mon ami: don't be ultra-sensitive -- my comment wasn't meant to suggest multi-generation Foster xenophobia. Au contraire/just the opposite, as I really enjoyed your description of the fat Brit confrontation on the bus. There have been many, many times when I'd have reacted just as your father did -- do give him my regards!

    Regards to you both, nay, to all the Fosters, Val

     

  • Arac

    Glad you liked your $1,000,000 but maybe you should start a stamp fund before you blow the entire wad :)

  • Claire (aka Cleo)

    Hey Jon, I received the zine you sent - it's great - thanks my friend!!

  • Valentine Mark Herman

  • Susan McAllister

    Hey Jon, I just finished reading your zine. It's great fun. I'm glad you enjoyed Berkeley. Come back again anytime.
