Re: FLUXLIST: Baltimore Fluxlist/Museum you see em experiences
Glad to hear Blaster Al is doing well and finding an audience in Baltimore. The mail art fraternity lost a unique voice when he upped- sticks and moved from san antonio in the early 90's? I have fond memeories of his tacky little pamphlets and terrificly scary and deranged collages and tapes he used to send out in the 80's along with Dave Zack, Nunzio 6 Finger , Snowwhite Jung, etc. The mail art world seems alot tamer and safer now they have all shuffled off to whereveer they went!

Re: FLUXLIST: Baltimore Fluxlist/Museum you see em experiences
You can read and see Blaster Al, who's still up to all his old tricks and more, regularly in THE LOST AND FOUND TIMES (published and edited by yours truly), and in THE SHATTERED WIG REVIEW (published and edited by Rupert Wondolowski). Plenty of TLPs swirling in the wind in Baltimore, too... John At 07:08 PM 8/10/2004 +0100, you wrote: Glad to hear Blaster Al is doing well and finding an audience in Baltimore.
