FLUXLIST: [Fwd: sublet in a beautiful firehouse!]
---BeginMessage--- Dear Friends; Hope you are doing well! Andrea and I are fine and slowly growing up to the concept of parenthood. Naseem, although not quite mobile yet, definitely has a mind of an explorer, and we believe that it must have been her enthusiasm for traveling that has gotten us a six months residency in Japan ;-) It still sounds a bit fantastical to us, but the US-Japan Friendship Committee, to which Seyed applied for a residency in Kyoto, just called us and offered us a fellowship. We've been riding the rollercoaster of being excited and nervous, then thrilled and panicked. We would love to be able to go in March so that we could be there for the spring festivals, however that leaves us only two months to prepare ourselves. One of our many concerns is of course our lovely firehouse. We'd need to find someone who might like to sublet our place while we are gone from March to August . We were wondering if you might know someone who would like to take an extended holiday in the Bay Area, or just fancy living in an artfully remodeled firehouse ;-) ??? For those of you who haven't seen our place, we have two bedrooms, a large kitchen, an art studio (around 1000 sq. ft) and office/ living room, about 2200 sq. ft all together. We are on the second floor with lots of windows/ light, a garden and off street parking. We are located in between two BART stations, a 15-20 minute walk and close to the freeway into SF, about a half hour drive. We would be happy to talk to anyone who might be interested. We are asking $1200 per month, plus some minor housekeeping task like watering the plants. Pictures are available upon request! Do we see any hands... We are also looking to rent a place in Kyoto, and would appreciate it if you might know of anyone who is looking to sublet their firehouse there ;-) Thank you so much for your help!!!

Roger, this is such a creative approach! Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of hats, however, I do have cats. I would advise training a pet to take notes. This works very well with one of my cats, Count Vladimir de Mews Russian Blue - either with a pen in his mouth or one tied to his paw. He likes jotting on fine quality papers, so it can be a bit of an expense. The only problems I run into is when he lapses into Russian and then refuses to translate.

Why??? A question we posed to one another after the first five minutes when we began looking at the visual evidence others had posted when a feline actually visited the l.b. http://www.oz.net/~daveb/kittylitter/ Since I viewed the Thanksgiving Dinner for Brad Brace meal at commercial breaks in between watching Ghost, on the tube, I missed a lot of the action.

If so, are you still able to navigate, or merely lying in a prone position for the next few days? What constituted the signage next to the Fluxus license plate at the very end? Where were the cats? I, myself had a similar meal, however, since I am still in my jammies, I turned the Princess Petal webcam off. It was: Scrambled Eggs (cleverly reshaped into the form of a miniature turkey) Miso Noodles avec Veggies (transformed into a very realistic looking stuffing) Aged Sharp Cheddar Cheese (molded painstakingly into a Fluxus Butterfly Town license plate) Mirassou Pinot Blanc (appearing as itself) Send me some leftovers, will you?

Fiachra Gibbons, arts correspondentWednesday November 7, 2001The Guardian In large parts of the world a light flickering on and off every few seconds in a bare room is a recognised form of torture, one the Turkish police refined to a kind of art form. But yesterday, like Carl Andre's pile of bricks, Damien Hirst's pickled sharks and Tracey Emin's unmade bed and soiled knickers, Martin Creed's The Lights Going On and Off became art itself. But not everyone who attended the preview of the Turner prize show was prepared to accept it without a fight. Creed's installation does exactly what is says. Every five seconds the lights go on and off in the biggest and emptiest room of this year's show at Tate Britain. It took less than five minutes for the first visitor to crack, although it was unclear whether it was the flashing lights or the explanation from the Tate's wonderfully titled curator of communications, Simon Wilson (recently promoted from curator of interpretation), which was the greater torture. As Wilson gallantly outlined what Creed's installation might signify - the poignance of the dying halogen glow and "the movement towards the dematerialisation of art since the sixties" - there was a barely suppressed roar of rage. A slightly dishevelled man in a leather jacket, shaking with anger, interrupted to ask, "So this is art, is it?" Wilson said that Creed and the Turner jury, who will decide the £20,000 prize next month, certainly thought so. "What, a light going on and off. Really!" he raged, before storming out in the direction of the Victorian Nude, the gallery's new blockbuster show. As the usually reverential group of invited journalists and art world luminaries grew restive, a representative of the Art Fund, which rescues British masterpieces from the clutches of foreign collectors, was asked whether she might countenance saving Creed's light-switch for the nation. She wisely demurred. There was also much muttering about whether Creed, 33, had simply recycled a five-year-old piece and why the electrician who had made it had seemingly not been credited. Wilson had only just recovered to say how Creed's extreme minimalism was born of his wish not to fill the world with "any more clutter" when he was clobbered by another heckler. He had begun to confess how Mike Nelson's labyrinth of rooms entitled The Cosmic Legend of the Uroboros Serpent reminded him of the Tate's own storerooms when the painter Edna Weiss piped up from the back with a fresh attack. "I thought they were the Tate's storerooms," she said. "But you tell me now they are a work of art. How could that be? So

FLUXLIST: Internet Art
A cut paste from Mail Art Message Board pk Author: honoria Date: 11-02-01 18:40 In my research on Internet and Mail art I found this article by mail artist Andrej Tisma... What is Internet Art? Author: Andrej Tisma [EMAIL PROTECTED] WEB.ART'S NATURE There is no doubt that web.art (internet art) is a new kind of art that has some characteristics never seen before, in such a pure form, in the history of arts. Interactivity is one of those characteristics that makes the viewer to become the creator of the artwork, of its final form. The artwork gets its shapes thanks to the activity of the viewer, and since the work is open, it can always get new shapes. The hyperdimension is the second characteristics of the web.art, that means that the work of web.art is infinite in space and time. It can be developed in many directions, and without limitations. The third characteristic is non materiality. The web.art work doesn't exist in the real space, only as a digital code on the disc. The work can be seen only by means of screen, in form of thousands of sparkling pixels. So web.art work is impermanent visualization of the world of ideas, and therefore it stays non material, intangible and spiritual. By its characteristics the international Mail-Art movement from the 60s and Networking from 80s can be seen in some aspects as the forerunners of today's web.art. Derived from Fluxus movement and Concept Art, Mail-Art was based on international communication between artists, who were exchanging ideas, artworks and collaborative projects. The difference was only in the means of communication which then was mail . Mail-Artists and later Networkers who preffered personal meetings, common performances and debates, were practicing an art of communication, collaboration and interaction, spreading ideas all over the world regardless of geographical, racial, national or ideological barriers, same as web.artists are doing today.

So, I started to correspond with my korean friends in America only by e-mail and I ask you NOT TO SEND ME IN REGULAR MAIL and to communicate by e-mail. It's a pity to do that but for the moment that is the best way that I can think of. I hope you understand me. Take care, Best regards, Taehyun Dear Teahyun, My trip back from Korea went very well.

I left Seoul at 4:30 PM in the Afternoon of Sunday, and arrived in San Francisco at 9:30 AM in the morning of the same day. I felt like a time traveller. I think the mails are safe. I wouldn't worry about these things. Bad things can happen at anytime. We leave our homes, even though there is a possability of being hit by a car. But that doesn't stop us from going out. That's why they call this terrorism- their aim is to cause terror. And when they do -they win. I don't run from death or threats. I don't seek them out, either.

FLUXLIST: Mia/Jeju Island Post
Cut and pasted from Mail Art Permanent Message Board: The Mail Art festival is on and everyone here is so friendly. I wish I never had to leave. The island itself is beautiful. The city colorful and visually exciting. Young Jay Lee, the curator for the show is very nice, making sure we are happy and interested in all our ideas. Everyone from the cultural center is welcoming and charming. We are all staying at the Jeju Alps Hotel across from the exhibition hall. The hall is huge. The show looks fantastic! All the pieces from 40 different countries are collaged on boards in alphabetical order by country. I think there isn't much collage done here in Korea and so the whole show looks new and interesting to them. The artist names are on plaques next to each board. We spent the first couple days pinning the artwork to the boards and the day before the opening, we mounted the boards on the walls of the exhibit hall. It looks grand! The opening was so exciting. So many people arrived, flowers everywhere, posters in Korean about mail art and Peace Island, tables of food and rice wine. Speeches were made by the important people running the event and Young Jay Lee interpreted John Held Jr.'s speech, which was nice and respectful. Peter Netmail, who is beautiful, was painted by Petina to look like a skeleton and he played the cello in front of a poster he made of the world trade center explosion and the bombing in Afganistan (I believe). I think this was very new to the Korean experience. He was put in the newspaper today. Today, we are selling our works at tables of ArtiStamps, rubberstamps, books, and other art. Jas Felter's table looks professional. Jas is the most delightful person I have ever met. He has such a wonderful sense of humor and imagination. We walked around Jeju together looking at rubberstamps stores and other odds and ends. He took photos of manholes with Korean characters. I took photos of Jas leaning into trash cans taking photos of discarded cigarette packs. There is not a dull moment with such a strange and lovely character. He said he would deny all of this, by the way...http://jas.faximum.com/jas.d/asg_24.htmv You must see his website, if you haven't before. Michael Thompson and Michael Hernadez de Luna are here. Fantastic artistamp artists. Their book is phenomenal! They are an interesting team. Hernadez is having some legal trouble over a stamp he made recently. Thompson is a very easy going relaxed man who is pleasant to talk with. There are other artists here from Italy and Korea's mainland and some are coming today from Japan. Last night at the opening, I took many pictures of artists with a pretty dragonfly that Dragonfly Dream sent to me. I really enjoyed telling them about her (some of them already know who she is) and they were all pleased to take the picture. It was so much fun. It has all been so much fun. Sunday, our hosts are giving us a tour of the island to see some sights like the Grandfather stones that were found here long ago unexplained like the stones found on Easter Island. We are getting a lot of publicity. Today cable t.v. It is easy to be a star here. Affectionately, Mia Spiral

Re: FLUXLIST: Arte Povera vs. Fluxus
Was just at http://www.frieze.com and found a review on the Arte Povera show at the Tate - (the same show that is now at the Walker, Ann?), An informative and interesting review. I definitely want to learn more about Mario Merz and his use of Fibonacci numbers, something that has always fascinated me. I note that Damien Hirst was referenced in the review as being influenced by AP. Apropos of Carol Starr's question of the recently demolished installation reported in the New York Times Fluxus or AP? - I would say that one is Conceptualism - however whether the idea was more important than the finished product is debatable. Perhaps he was referring to artmaking (the scene of the crime). I'd like to see him just remaking it and having it carted away by the janitor daily - sounds kinda' like something Ray Johnson might do. The review: Arte Povera Tate Modern, London Unbelievably, 'Zero to Infinity' is the first survey of Arte Povera to be held in Britain. We've had solo, senior-status shows by many of its prime exponents - Luciano Fabro, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Jannis Kounellis, Giuseppe Penone, Alighiero Boetti - in recent memory, but no overview. The movement officially began in 1967, when the young critic-turned-curator Germano Celant coined the Arte Povera moniker, and ended in 1970, when he took the unilateral decision to bury it and work with its individual participants. Usually it's the artists that reject the way their individualism has been subsumed by movements defined by critics or curators, but in Arte Povera's case it was the artists (most of them, at least) who wanted to keep the show on the road into the 1970s. This says a lot for the strange coherence of this most enigmatic of art movements, and the relative isolation Italian artists experienced prior to their integration within international post-Minimalist tendencies at the close of the decade. The show's curators, Richard Flood from the Walker Art Center and the Tate's Frances Morris, made the innovative decision to extend the time frame to include Arte Povera's immediate aftermath and its pre-history, when some of its slightly older practitioners (Pistoletto, Pino Pascali and Kounellis, for example) were beginning to be known individually. Academically, this move revealed the extent to which Arte Povera did or didn't come out of nowhere, and how, after its dissolution, the artists set out on the divergent, individually trademarked careers we know today. In terms of an exhibition experience this strategy allowed the curators to combine the best features of solo and group exhibitions. Most artists were given a room or section to themselves for a single large installation or series of works - Fabro's giant silk, marble and metal Pieds (1968-71), for example, surrounded by a wall piece in green thread entitled Penelope (1972), was achingly beautiful. Each artist also got to hang with others in small, relatively undidactic groupings around themes such as the objects' relationship to painting, political context, or the eponymous connectedness of nothing and everything. Often a section would trigger a solo set piece where a shared tendency was of prime importance to a particular individual. So, for example, the sculpture and semantics of painting that connected Fabro, Kounellis, Pascali and Pistoletto had a semi-detached relationship with a section of works by Giulio Paolini exploring the ontology of painting in ways that exceeded Jasper Johns and haven't been bettered since. This osmosis between group and solo presentations put the viewer in the active position of working out to what extent Arte Povera holds together as a movement. Interpreted literally, it can be considered the antithesis of Pop Art, perhaps more so than any parallel American movements: it was organic, industrial, bio-chemical, in flux, phenomenological, presentational, non-representational, almost devoid of colour and implicitly anti-consumerist (after all, it coincided with the end of the miracolo italiano and the rise of worker/student insurrections). Arte Povera is a relatively watertight tendency if one views it via a hard core of around half the artists in 'Zero to Infinity', for whom alchemy serves as a useful motif. The works of Gilberto Zorio, Kounellis, Mario Merz, Pierre Paulo Calzolari and, to a degree, Marisa Merz, Giovanni Anselmo and Penone, all seem analogously connected with the apocryphal science of transforming inert, base materials into 'gold' of a living, universal, primordial, esoteric kind. Hence Mario Merz's attachment to Fibonacci's invention of a numerical system that behaves like self-generating patterns in nature (the breeding of rabbits and the structure of shells, for example) and his fondness for the brilliant gaseous light neon gives off once excited by electrons. There's a certain wild mysticism to Celant's Arte Povera that one is tempted to attribute to a Catholic sensibility, which
FLUXLIST: Arte Povera vs. Fluxus
I was reminded how much I liked the AP folks for their lush use of simple materials, their material investedness. It's sorta like Fluxus for honest to god sculptors. Are fluxus artists then not honest to god sculptors? Well, there's a difference. Material investedness is much more intense for the AP . See Luciano Fabro, say, and his gorgeously carved weird bird feet things. AP seems to allow itself to lift off from the concept and follow sensuous form. This is very appealing to me. Does anyone else want to discuss Fluxus's differences from concurrent artmaking such as Arte Povera? To me this would be an interesting thread. Food for thought. Thanks, Ann. I've read that Germano Celant coined the term Arte Povera (Italian for poor or impoverished art) to unite certain aspects of Conceptual, Minimal and Performance art. The Oxford Dictionary of Art states that he edited a book on the subject in 1969 and hoped that the use of 'worthless' materials such as soil, twigs, and newspapers and the avoidance of the traditional idea of art as a collectable 'product' would undermine the art world's commercialism. I don't believe AP could be said to be a movement, but more of a concept titled by Celant for the artists he embraced, while Fluxus, if Maciunas would have it his way, was an organized movement, to begin with. It began as a publishing enterprise, but quickly became associated with performance art, as festivals were organized to publicize a planned printed anthology. The movement progressed to artist collaborated multiples. A similarity does exist between AP and Fluxus inasmuch as in Celent's phrase above and Maciunas' hope that the Fluxus multiples would usher in a non art reality to be grasped by all peoples, not only critics, dilettantes and professionals. There is a definite crossover as exampled by the artists Joseph Beuys and Piero Manzoni, whom I've heard described as both AP and Fluxus, although in checking out the Walker site, they are not among the artists represented. Obviously Beuys use of simple materials such as fat and felt (concept taken from lifesaving materials given to him after an airplane crash) could be defined as AP, while his use of multiples was definitely Fluxus. Of course, this also lends itself to conceptualism (idea more important than the finished product). Manzoni worked in multiples, sometimes shit, sometimes eggs, and sculptures of cotton wool, fibreglass and fake bread, again both AP and Fluxus. Conceptualism? Hm. However, as far as progression, Fluxus has pretty much stayed within the original concepts, performances, etc. in repeating them, with the exceptions of Beuys, Yoko Ono and Nam June Paik - whereas AP has really broken its original foundation and boundaries. The one artist represented at the Walker that I am most familiar with is Michelangelo Pistoletto, who has been producing phenomenal installations since The Office of the Black Man where he records his own past visible through computers and oversize photographs. I would say that AP has become much more grandiose, end product wise, than Fluxus - perhaps much more saleable, which would, of course, defeat its original definition. What did you think of the show, Ann, did you see the use of worthless materials much? Also, is the catalogue worth a go? Best, PK AK Mark L. Hepp wrote: Greetings, I am new to this list.

A project of the Calexico Arts Commission, this monumental work in public art is the product of many hands working together during the course of the past three years. The serial graphic image is based on the 'eye' portion from an Olmec glyph --carbon dated to 3,400 years ago-- of a ruler or god representing the ancient Olmec belief that the world is perceived thru sight, touch and sound. To the student of phenomenology, to an anthropologist, or, to the multitasking community of the graphic user interface, this Olmec icon points to the same thing: communication.

FLUXLIST: Ray O'Bun
Hey John Bennett!!! Let's keep Fluxlist alive!!! Onward!!! The following is a cut-and-paste message from Mail Art Messageboard: Author: Bill Wilson (---.proxy.aol.com) Date: 10-07-01 17:14 An announcement for a show, California College of Arts and Crafts, San Francisco Campus, October 12th---December 8th, Logan Gallery, Eighth Street, EXTRA ART, A Survey of Artists' Ephemera. The show is curated by Steven Leiber, who once printed a commercial catalogue of Johnsoniana which simulated the North Carolina catalogue by Richard Craven in the 1970s. The list of artists includes Yves Klein, the great vaudevillian of art, who designed probably the earliest postage stamp made by an artist; Lawrence Weiner, who is interviewed about Johnson in the film "Connections"; General Idea; Eleanor Antin; Bruce Conner; Donald Evans; Daniel Spoerri; and Robert Watts---to mention a few of the names of possible interest here. Perhaps someone who can see the show will post a description and/or analysis. The names are so tempting--George Herms, for example. After the night Ray Johnson poured honey down the side of George Herms, then licked it off, George draw a picture of the scene which he mailed to Ray, who mailed it to me. Ray was upset that evening because a man had just bought ten of his collages for $100.00 each, had then asked Ray to throw in an extra collage for free. When Ray came out of the building, where I was waiting as driver of the getaway car, he put his head in my lap and sobbed at the humiliation. When we reached Diana di Prima's apartment on Cooper Square, where George Herms was staying, Ray positioned a five dollar bill in an ashtray and set it on fire. Then he poured the honey on George, who was not wearing a shirt. He was constructing a haiku perhaps, with clear ephemeral gestures, but turning it on a rhyme: honey rhymes with money. Other names--Richard Tuttle, Cy Twombly and Nam June Paik--point toward artists who were never primarily mailartists, but who played Ray's games with him. Ray sometimes burned his collages in Cy Twombly's fireplace, where Cy sometimes burned his sketches. I have no ideas or images of what is in this show, but it is bound to effervesce and vibrate, bouncing as it does from Ay-O to Yoko Ono. I would not myself include in a show Carl Andre, unless his poem from the early 1970s were available: MAN'S LAUGHTER MANSLAUGHTER [Copyright: Carl Andre] Since this show includes the Guerrilla Girls, and Adrian Piper, feminist perspectives at least will be on record. I have no idea how much of this show is mailart, but do know that a few of the artists had relayed from Ray to me an item on which Ray had written "Please send to." Thus artists, geographically separated, were linked by their participations in the network begun by Ray Johnson. My feelings about that network in these discouraging times are conveyed by Samuel Beckett: "...in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on." (end of message) * Fluxlisters: I plan on seeing this show, but probably not 'til November. As most of you know, Bill Wilson is May Wilson's son. Saw a show about the correspondences between the two a couple of months ago in Santa Rosa, CA - also viewed a couple of videotapes. Fascinating.

FLUXLIST: letter from Sticker Dude
The following was cut and pasted from the mail art forum message board: honoria (---.ots.utexas.edu) Date: 09-27-01 00:14 I am passing this note to you at the indirect request of Joel... Sztuka Fabryka wrote on Tuesday 11th September 2001: Hello Sticker Dude, Are you allright? Hopefully nobody of your family were victims of what happened. Wish you strength. Geert Answer from Joel Cohen on Wednesday 26th September 2001: Of course I'm going thru a very difficult time. Ragged Edge Press is now still (and for the last two weeks) in the cordoned off are of ground zero. Though our building has not been damaged, we have no phones , except my cell phone, no mail service and no deliveries or pick ups, including garbage. To get into the shop, only since last Thursday, we have to show proof that we work there and valid picture ID. New York has become an incredible Police State. Even so we've been able to carry on business, by working from home, other friends' print shops, and my wits and with my assistant Willie's great help. I saw the Towers burning and collapsing, with people jumping out, and the eventual collapse, from the street about a mile away. It felt like one of those Japanese Horror films I saw as a kid. I'm not scared of further attacks, but I've been depressed ever since. I'm really upset about the war fever that has swept the country. I'm so fearful that so many thousands, if not millions of people will be killed all over the world before this disease ( and I'm not sure just what to call it, maybe political AIDS) ends. Hope you're OK, And really thanks for your concern. So many people have been calling, it takes up hours a day Spread this letter as far as you can. I've been so preoccupied... Joel

FLUXLIST: [Fwd: Alice]
Just saw my old friend, Alice Hoglan on tv, interviewed by KTVU. I used to work with her in the 80's. She lost her son Mark on the Philadelphia flight, but he was able to call her from the plane before it went down. I remember Mark as such a sweet little boy - turns out he was married with a baby of his own. What a travesty. He was her only child. PK

Re: FLUXLIST: WTC terrorist attacks
First of all, a prayer and a candle for all those who lost their lives in this horrendous attack. Second, what has happened to the security on flights - the flight marshalls - the scans that should have picked up the knives and box openers carried by the terrorists (as known of the flight that crashed into the Pentagon)? This was preventable and should have been prevented and should be prevented in the future. At the very least, this has promoted solidarity from catastrophy. At the very most, this has snuffed too many innocent lives and very nearly shut down a nation - airports, bridges, businesses, telecommunication, financial markets, and it will retaliate over the globe. Sol mentioned how quickly we are in communication of world events. We are all connected in so many phases of our lives. Last of all, a prayer and a candle. And bless Barbara Olsen, a commentator who died on the flight mentioned above. PK S.E.

FLUXLIST: New Ray Johnson video
To all: Saw a show curated by Harley on Ray Johnson May Wilson this weekend. Video screening on both and panel discussion. This new video on Ray Johnson is very good - they even interview postal workers in Locust Valley, who say they are still getting weird stuff in the mail addressed to RJ, even though he's no longer with us, because the senders know once it gets through the p.o. has to send it back Info on the video is as follows - if you order it, be sure to specify a U.S. version if you're in the U.S. CONNECTIONS: RAY JOHNSON ON-LINE, 41 min. 2001 DENMARK Written, directed and produced by Lars Movin and Steen Muller Rasmussen, Sound and editing by Niels Plenge, Frederiksborggade 42, 4.th., DK 1360 Copenhagen K, Denmark, Tel. +45 33 157707, Fax +45 33 157107, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Portrait of the American artist Ray Johnson (1927-95), driving force behind the New York Correspondence School, started in the early 60's. Ray Johnson was known for his numerous mail art projects, involving artistic strategies like networks and collaborations. Key terms in his mail art activities ADD TO AND RETURN or SEND TO, inviting recipients to contribute to his work. Besides mail art, Ray Johnson was doing collages, assemblages and performances throughout his life. In the 40's, he went to Black Mountain College in North Carolina, in 1948 he moved to New York City where he joined the American Abstract Artists group, and later was associated with the first generation of Pop Artists. His death in January 1995, jumping from a bridge in Sag Harbor, Long Island, was considered to be somewhat of a mystery. The film is based on a personal interpretation of Ray Johnson¹s artistic strategies, using the telephone and the internet as primary sources for sound and image. SEOSED. RAY JOHNSON ON-LINE, Lars Movin, Steen Muller Rasmussen The video is based on a series of audial interviews with friends of Johnson while running visual film. They also use views of a computer screen as an intro to various subjects, and one was a search on Ray Johnson where Fluxlist appeared!!! Best, PK

Re: FLUXLIST: mailing lists-help wanted
Hi Alan, Might be best to first ascertain what the gallery's target is for the list, i.e.; fluxy folk in general, artists, collectors, critics, people named Bukoff, etc. Best, Princess Petal alan bowman wrote: dear all, i have to compile a (predominantly Fluxus related) mailing list for a gallery the trouble is, i've never done this before and i'm not really sure where to start does anyone have any helpful suggestions?

Male Sex Cycle - 23 days in the male sex cycle (according to Tantrists). June 1, 1996 - The day Tim Leary died. The date 6-1-1996 provides 6+1+1+9+9+6=32, or 23 backwards. Microsoft - There are 23 buildings on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington. Where do you want Bill Gates to go today? TV:Seinfeld - Kramer hides his air conditioner on Level Purple 23 in a shopping carpark. This episode was played in Australia on 23 September 1996. Clinton - Bill Clinton's numerical initials are B=2 C=3. The number of letters in William Jefferson Clinton is 23. Clinton, William, W being the 23rd letter of the alphabet. 23 skidoo - what I wish George Bush would do.

Re: FLUXLIST: bea(la)n/birthday differention
And, I would wager, it is NOT Alan's birthday today. But, psychically surmising, as I do from time to time, I betcha it's Allen's birthday today. Happy birthday, Allen Bukoff!!! I propose a toast to same (that would be Allen, not Alan, because of the bday, of course), with many good wishes, at high noon today (that would be 4 hours from now). And, please do a little dance at the same time. And, activate your magic beans.
