what’s AARPEX stand for?…
I’m hard at work getting ready for this weekend’s AARPEX event (Artistamp Artists Reunion & Philatelic Expo) in Seattle; RLD readers and/or mail artists should clear their Saturday schedule come on over to University House!
check out that all-star line up of artistamp/mail art big wigs!
This promises to be an AMAZING event. Throughout the day I will be vending (as well as other artistamp creators); in the afternoon, Anna Banana (Vancouver BC) and EF Higgins (New York) will both give lectures on the history/lore of artistamps. And that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg; other artists include Cascadia Artpost, Triangle Post, Mailarta Queen of Poste and Teesha Moore.
SF Co-op passport page, filled with artistamps…
In addition to putting together a suitcase full of new goodies (a new zine! multiple artistamp sheets!), I’ll be bringing along parts of my archive to show-n-tell. Won’t you come by and say hello? It would be fabulous to see you!
don’t tell anyone, but this was dinner (the candy corn, not the glue stick!)

So jealous!
Would you be willing to grab some goodies? You know I would go if previous plans weren’t in play. I can pay pal you $$, or pay you cash nov.18? $20-40???
If you can in the midst of your selling, I’d appreciate it, but TOTALLY understand if you can’t. Much thanx!

I think all three of us should be on the case, and on the lookout for goodies for you! I will DEFINITELY keep my eyes open for “items of interest”…
You will be missed; I’ll (we’ll?) take oodles of photos.

Hey…that’s ME! I’m Seattle folk. Should I bring anything? What is this event all about? I’m excited to meet you in person. I’ve admired you and your work from your blog and from Pamela G. (I write to her regularly). Wish I could come to the co-op festivities in SF….but hey……Seattle will do, huh? I’ll drop by before I go to the Huskey game.
