Welcome Blaine

That's quite a coincidence, Blaine. We lived in Westbrook 1991-2001, on Mast Rd! You must not have been far from our red rental vacation house in OOB, either, corner of W Grand + Ocean. Thanks for your friendship ---

Earthling, this is the last but certainly not the least welcome message to IUOMA you receive. I’m a celestial mail artist living in a heavenly corner of the faraway universe called Republik van Patland. When you joined IUOMA on february 15 I was unable to welcome you on board.  At the time I was in a Celestial Journey far beyond the Milky Way. Now, back to planet Earth, I´d love to be the other end if you wish to trade mail art with a celestial mail artist. If this is the case at the time your envelope should read as follows:

The Celestial Scribe

Terrene Embassy

Republik van Patland

Caixa Postal 24827

Curitiba-PR

80510-970

Brazil

I look forward to see a piece of yours in our terrene mailbox. I´ll do my homework after receiving your artwork. This is nothing less than a Celestial Promise. I’m Patricio, Celestial Scribe & Republik van Patland Official Envelope Provider.

Compared to how long we will be dead,  the two centuries wait for the postal system to connect from California to Brazil is barely a drop in the ocean. I let you know, however, when and if I receive the mail art you sent.

Kubla Khan arrived yesterday to Republik van Patland.  The huge gap Oakland-Curitiba is being bridged handsomely.  God save your brick!  Sooner rather than later you will hear from Patland!

:-)))))

Blaine, Now that I see your picture I realize I've seen you at the reference desk at SFPL! I work near there so every day I'm in the office I come by on my lunch hour to check out a new book. 

Did I mention that I worked for 10 years at UC libraries? Five at UCSD and Scripps and then five at UC Main Library - all doing bibliographic services (no library degree though).

Best, Heidi

 thru the power of mail art, may ye be healed.
