| It took a while, but I finally made it to a PDXCC (Portland Correspondence Co-Op) meeting -- our sister mail art group started a bit more than two years ago by Niko Courtelis. On all those shelves you see? Zines! Imagine that. |
 |
| Here are Miss Polly and Niko giving some highlights of the evening's meeting... |
 |
| Typewriters! They have typewriters at every meeting....how cool is that? (And, BTW, I noticed that there are A LOT of typewriters in Portland). |
 |
| JJAlltheWay is giving this one a workout. |
 |
| Really.....what can I say about this beauty? Except I really wanted to take it home with me. |
 |
| I brought a few things along for show-and-tell.... |
 |
| ...including all six of my SFCC artistamp passports... |
 |
| And -- lucky me -- Niko had a Will Call passport waiting for me to finally pick it up. Passport dated January 2015 Picked up April 2017 |
 |
| Artistamps by Niko Check out his artwork here Philatelic Atrocities |
 |
| Of course, if you read my blog, you now I cannot leave things alone so I had to do a bit of altering in my new PDXCC passport....I added photos I took at the meeting and some of the artistamps Niko made... |
 |
| That's a photo of me and Sugene, wonderful maker of zines, who I was happy to finally get to meet. |
 |
| The AFTERPARTY! Nostrama in PDX has a happy hour starting at 9PM. My kind of happy hour. So, after the PDXCC meeting we trooped over for cocktails and some pizza and salad.... |
 |
| Things up there in PDX are really just too much fun....I'm thinking that I have to go back. Soon. Very soon. You are all forewarned PDX Peeps! |
 |
| One of Niko's Philatelic Atrocities -- If you want to see more, you can buy his book right here at Kat Ran Press I'm lucky enough to have a collage and the book and recommend both. And now -- I am off to a San Francisco Correspondence Meeting -- yup, two mail art meetings within two weeks. Not bad. If you don't have a mail art group where you are I suggest starting one up..... you won't be sorry. SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
