Big disappointment in Heidelberg

Heinz Gruenwald had to tell me that due to a budget shortfall my (clandestine) application for a SWMAI was rejected :-(( I can not really understand where the priorities of the chamber of commerce were set, - but I think I have to accept it. (And who is Heinz Gruenwald?? A new mail art friend?? supergreat, I'm still laughing here)

You're very welcome, Svenja.

Your friend, Heinz

Comment by DKeys on July 26, 2012 at 12:32pm: This is hilarious! Sad that Heinz was outvoted as he was in favor of the SWMAI. Maybe a private investor will pop up? maybe UHU?

Comment by Svenja Wahl on July 26, 2012 at 6:00am: David, thank you!!! this really made my day! KDJ - I'll blog it ewD!

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on July 26, 2012 at 5:23am: Just to let you know that there is a Temporary SWMAI here in Sigean (it's part of the 'Dia Positive Art: le Retour' exhibition that runs until Saturday) and features many of SW's canvasses.

Another, and different, Temporary SWMAI will be opened next week at 'L'été à Sigean' exhibition that features many of SW's enveloppes, plus those of many others of you (I'll post photos later) and an incredible album cover from Mr Stafford himself.

Perhaps we should all be setting up Temporary SWMAIs?

And what a pity that Dean managed to destroy Mail Art Martha's shopping trolley! With it we could have had a Temporary and Mobile SWMAI.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 26, 2012 at 1:57am: G-Man!

Comment by David Stafford on July 26, 2012 at 1:57am: c'est moi with utmost sincerity....

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on July 25, 2012 at 10:53pm: Hmm, I don't know--it looks to have some around-the-edge parts, which Dean does quite a bit. It even looks like Dean's font, yes? Svenja, show us the address side and we'll know. By the way, it's hilarious!!!

Comment by Svenja Wahl on July 25, 2012 at 8:26pm: Suus, it has to be David Stafford, every time I have no clue who sent me something it is him! And it's superfunny so it's him. Yes, I'm sure ...

Comment by Suus in Mokum on July 25, 2012 at 8:20pm: What a shame, Svenja. Maybe Heinz Gruenwald is an alias? What kind of occupation does he have? 'Stempeln Sie Sammler'??? Interesting, hihi.
