wow - a cornucopia of mail art omens! this is just a select sampling of the enclosures -

yes, let's save the bees and the bears. thanks for all this (i find the baguette-suitor tres amusing). it's especially coinci-providential to have that membership card, as it's highly likely i'll be using traffic cones in my next theater piece (ha…
