Talking of old projects...
You might also like to know how
my project "Unfinished Business" is progressing.
Well, several people sent contributions
but the documentation isn't quite finished...
Princess Petal's Finished Projects: Project One
Princess Petal gasped and threw herself on the castle floor in a pool
of tears, much to the chagrin of her male secretary, Biff, the Sumo wrestler.
Does nobody on this list remember the Fluxstamp Project, where Petal literally
became a designer of philately to get it all done? To jog your memories,
here it is in it's fledgling (not final) form.

Yes, once the fluxstamps were set up, Petal stoically drove 2 hours
to San Francisco in her red Beetle, oversize sunflower in budvase, listening
to "The Killer Rabbits" all the way. There she met up with famous
mail artist/archivist John Held, Jr. where she perforated the Fluxstamps,
while INTERVIEWING HIM AT THE SAME TIME

The final project was mailed to the contributors in a black faux linen
presentation folder, each of 2 sheets on 2 types of paper (gummed and nongummed),
proof of perforation, perforations, flyer and text of the Junior interview
enclosed.

Steven's finger supporting a winkle, just click through all the stamp pages
to the end and go back to the original fridge page.)
Project Two:
A last minute call for stamps to commemorate the d.o.d. of Ray Johnson:

Unfinished Projects:
Alas, the Timepiece Project. Petal expected 21 tiny pictures
from contributors, but got many BIG, BIG ones, taking a lot of space on
the puny Geocities site she had set up and taking a lot of time to load.
So, she emailed Sir Allen Bukoff, asking for help, who graciously offered
to load them on the Fluxlist.org site.
http://www.fluxus.org/FLUXLIST/timepiece/
However, Sir B. ran out of *spare* time, and therefore there now exists
2 timepiece sites. Allen Bukoff, Sol Nte, Dave Babtiste Chirot and
Roger "Radio" Stevens are all live on above, while,
Don Boyd, Melissa McCarthy, Owen Smith Carol Starr are all live
on below.

Part of the unfin pro that need to be loaded on a site are Ann Klefstad,
Alex Cook, Greg Davis, Josh Ronsen and Devon Paulson. Unfortunately,
since neither Petal, nor her staff know FTP protocol, they cannot transfer
the geocities folks to the Fluxus site, thereby creating more room.
Could anybody help out with this??? Biff simply uses any plea
as an excuse to eat.
XXOO
Princess Petal
