I love it! I think it might be kinda cool if you left a few blank pages in
the back for getting stamps. I know some folks would prefer stamps in their
logbooks, but I personally think it would be neat to have personal stamps on
the 'zine itself, sorta like getting the program signed by the players at
the ballpark.

Subject: [LbNCA] Clues for BASS



I know that it was kinda decided that a clues wrangler wasn't really
needed, but I was trying to think of what I could contribute to the
shindig, and I'd love to offer to make a clues packet for the event
and make copies.
But this wouldn't be any old packet, oh no, this would be a gen-u-wine
hand made, old skool, hard core ZINE!! What is a zine you ask? short
for magazine, but way way cooler--it is the cool cousin of the
magazine, and it has art, poetry, prose, whatever the
artist/writer/creator/(editor?) wants in it. And it's all put
together like a little magazine, with page numbers and staples and a
cover page and everything!! So I would put this together, with clues,
neat clip art, profiles of those who are attending (or aren't
attending but wish they were), a singles column, recipes, opinion
articles (e.g., PZ Kut: is the extra few cents for the Grade A really
worth it?), jokes, comics, etc.
I love to do this sort of thing, it would be useful (it has clues), it
would be amusing, and it would be a nice souvenier (other than all the
amazing stamps). Would people be willing/able to email clues to me a
day or so in advance so that I could stick them into the waiting zine
and copy it all the night before the hoorah?
Lemme know if the idea stinks like my feet after a 21 mile hike.

I'm all for creativity and I love to see the way different people are
inspired. I think it's a great idea. I also like the idea of some
blank pages for stamps - or a special spot for the event stamp.You could
even carve a stamp for the zine itself. :D You almost make me want to
do an artistamp for the event, too.. :)

Reminder - if you haven't RSVPd via AQ or with Kathy for potluck
headcount, and you're planning on attending, please do!

Until Saturday,
Eclipse
