In Chicago for Flux Fest and had a chance to meet
some old and new friends -
These are a small portion of what we saw and did -
We saw an Art O Mat machine and had a copy
of one of my collages, which you can almost see
in his left hand - Each token for a piece of art
is $5.00 and I gave him the card - in case
he did not like what he got out of the machine -
Not sure how impressed he was, but he had
a big smile and a hearty hand shake -

Oh,
I am sure he would have loved it..
the art o mat machines are so cool...
Really great to meet you both, Wish I'd had more time to visit ....seemed like I was always running....
Love the art o mat machine! That's pretty cool. Were you able to see the Vivian Maier photo exhibition?
One of these days I'm going to have to check out the stamp land.
grrl: Hi ya and Thanks - seems most folks are willing to plop $20.00 to get 4 pieces of art - pretty cool indeed!
keith: We were like ghosts in the night and were indeed sorry we could not chat - I always wait until the smoke clears and it didn't appear to be at the time - we'll meet again I'm sure = Thanks and Cheers!
maggie: Yes to the VM exhibit and the Off The Beaten Path, Violence, Women and Art which was powerful -
Be sure to check them out and go into the Project Onward Gallery, 1st floor - some amazing people with disabilities making amazing art - we spoke to a few and were blown away - Cheers!

DeeDee ;-D
Hello DD and Thanks for stopping by - it was great - Cheers!
Great that you enjoy yourself Michael, and these pictures tell the tale. I'm assuming you are back now, and looking ahead to some spring weather! Hope all is well.
sam: Sorry I did not notice your comment - been mainly updating The World Is A Town these days - yes, nice to meet some old "mail" friends that we have never met in person before - alas, spring = yes and other things of course - will post an email over the weekend = Cheers!
Is tha' Picasso in th' window photos, up top? My first glance had me thinkin' it was "Roscoe Arbuckle". Upon close-up, I find I am in error...
subT: Picasso is in the piano photo, the top photo is Reed A and old mail art friend who we also met for the 1st time at this event - Cheers!
Cool! Tha' piano reminded me of a local club tha' used to do "electro-bashing"...um...nevermind ;]
subT: I have some youtube videos under coffeemessiah2 where you can see his store/non store - think I've taken 4 - CU ; )
There was always something authentic about rubber stamps. I don't see them used as much back here. I hope the practice survives.
anilP: Hello and Thanks - need to catch up with your journeys - and Yes, many still use rubber stamps in mail art and I believe crafters still use them = Cheers!
