On Saturday the 27th, I attended the July meeting of the
SF Correspondence Co-op with Alyson.
It was held in the
Latino/Hispanic Meeting Room (side A)
of the main SF Public Library, it's regular venue.
The theme is mailart, but this meeting was more about socializing.
Since it was my first, I *did* create two pieces of mailart,
utilizing some things I had brought, and some things contributed
by other attendees.

Can you stand it?

A crescendo of activity.

Once member brought these "punch boards" - they're like the old gambling cards,
except you punch out a "fortune" - a tightly rolled scrap of paper with some
bit of wisdom.

Junk - or treasures - contributed by the attendees to the common table -
I had brought some Cinderellas - poster stamps, etc. - which were snapped up
tout de suite.

I found some interesting items to take as well - the
Artist Trading Cards in the foreground of this image were of particular note.

Alyson arrived late - bad traffic - no, that is NOT a cast, but a stylish arm-cozy.
Soon to arrive in your mailboxes - you know who you are!

Yes, that's tie-dye duct tape on the flap - can't be too careful!

OK, so I shouldn't quit my day job. Wait, I already did.
Jennie announced her latest triumph - the Ex Postal Facto Conference to be held in SF next Feburary!
