Re: haPPy maiL
For me this poem sounds like the slow arduous tedious (for ABC) painstaking process of scanning and loading mailart and how I feel about ABC's approach to this process. Highly reccommend Merwin to all thinking/feeling mailart people out there on earth. He has great anti war poems as well. Also, The situation at the EC reminds me of the PR campaign simplifying our options in Iraq: Go big, Go long or go home. I give the EC 3-6 months. Coke with the cap left off the bottle over night. FLAT. I reccommend flickr.com. In the very short time I've been on it, I've met more people on flickr, found more exciting art and have had many more good conversations about mailart. There is a section for mailart and collage. Jesse and ZF and CLB are on it too. Incidentally, I sold 3 peices of mail art over the weekend for $40 each. I was about to send them to the EC too. I may scan them myself and put them in talk section. ABC: all'y'all been commemerated by a poem.The Comet Museum by W.S. Merwinso the feeling comes afterwardsome of it may reach us onlylong afterward when the momentitself is beyond reckoningbeyond time beyond memoryas though it were not moving inheaven neither burning fartherthrough any past nor ever toarrive again in time to bewhen it has gone the senses wakeall through the day they wait for ithere are the pictures that someone tookof what escaped us at the timeonly now can you remember

Description
"K. Seltler" Mystery Painting Original Art (1983). This one has us all stumped. It's marked "9-30-83 K. Seltler (?) Flimsy Picture Decadant Decadance (How I Miss It)". It certainly is a colorful illustration highlighted with touches of silver ink, and makes us think it could be a fashion sketch -- from another planet. At any rate, it measures 11" x 14", mixed media on sketchbook paper in Very Good condition, and it's up for grabs. Be bold and place a bid!

Sighting Gravity
Following is a description of the "gravity sextant", which is a
simple (though not very practical) device for determining the
exponent of a spherically symmetrical force law of the form
F = 1/r^c.

The sextant (or perhaps "quadrant" would be more correct) consists
of a right angled frame subtended by a protractor, similar to a
normal sextant. At the end of each arm of the right angled frame
is a mass held by a spring in a slider. Both of the sliders are
parallel to one of the arms, as illustrated below:



Oriented so that the plane of the sextant contains the center of the
field source, rotate the sextant until the displacements of the masses
in the two sliders are equal, and then sight the field source on a
line through the corner of the frame, and mark the angle on the
protractor.

The angle "theta" between the line of sight and the slider direction
is related to the exponent c in the force law according to the equation

tan^2(theta) + (c+1)tan(theta) - c = 0

For example, if the angle reads 29.3165 degrees, then we have c=2, so
we know the field obeys an inverse square force law. On the other
hand, if the angle reads 22.5 degrees, then c=1, and the field obeys
a simple inverse law. If the angle reads 32.8524 degrees, then the
field obeys an inverse cube law.

Talking about reading and writings from the past and present

Quote " bring your past into your present and create your future "
Dr.E.I.Belbis as jesarchives and jesse edwards
reading and writings from the past and present
yeah turk le clair the artist was a far outer . no doubt about it . yeah i heard he died . in hawaii i heard .
michael bowen the beat artist was in hawaii and he even email me a picture of turk on his death bed . he is the guy who put together the armory show in san francisco that the neo roc mail art show was part of . this was put together by robert rocola and bill gaglione .
and all of them are still around , except turk . now i met turk in san francisco or thereabouts . maybe in uhkia the first time . any funny story . i had lived most of the 70's in asia , doing legal and not so legal things . and one of my mentors TOM BOM from those days in asia was visiting with me at 232 sanchez st. san francisco and my door on the landing was open as tom and i sat upstairs b.s.ing and who walk up the stairs and into the living room turk . and it turns out both of them knew each other in the sixties in new york or texas or both . they had not seen each other in 20 years . from the asia world to the art world and back again and beyond . and carlo also . i always liked the stuff he sent me . the visuals were way cool . and buster cleveland also among the gone . he i knew in person , from many occasions . carlo in never did meet . although cracker jack kid mail artist and now folk singer , i met once when i was on the east coast doing some involuntary sojournism in vermont . i like his music now . the girl in red / her name is mitzi , she was with the underground cartoonist s. clay wilson then . all of those photos are from interdada 84 . or at least around that time . that was when i met all of these mail artists , dadaist , spray paint and stencil artists and all of that . and to think that it started off with the bartender at dicks cafe , rick london the poet and editor . he worked weekends at this bar where artists and taxi drivers and poets painters real estate agents and sailors from norway hung out .
he introduced me to this whole scene that was happening in the edge of the castro district . 1st was s.clay wilson and then dave gieser and the i met mellinda gebbie who did the fresca zizi comic . one of which had a great story about her and wilson that was so intimate , so real . anyway i bought some of her work and some of s.cly wilsons
s. clay wilson underground comic artist and the creator of ' the checkered demon '. i bought some work of his [ that i still have ] and it was off to the races on the collecting and participating scene . recently i have been touch with scott williams the stencil artist from san francisco . he had a show at the track 16 spage in bergamot station , in santa monice i have a store on venice beach these days . for the last 15 years . after i left l.a. packing and crating . home to many lost artist . on venice beach i am named tribal bazaar .
we can be found at this address http://www.tribalbazaar.com/ we do a lot of belly dance shows and travel to india and pakistan to do some of the buying . right now we are thinking of retiring . to india . to the beaches of goa . a days boat ride south of bombay . i can smell the air and think of the menus i have know . and also the hotel rooms i have known . from athen to katmandu and beyond . from greece to laos . and i thought that this would lead to the greece to laos thing at blogger and it did not . so i went to a different blog site and did some more thinking . and earlier today i went and saw an old friend from the 70's in asia . he runs a record and cd and dvd store on ventura blvd. in studio city . anyway were talking about the old days and we decided that we were some of the lucky ones . that we got 10 years of running around europe and asia when we were young and the world was free . or at least it seemed freeer . to us it still is but to some it seems more scary than before all the moves in afghanistan and iraq .
any way we both think that asia and in particular india is a good place to settle down for the last years , howerver many they may be .
