courtney love would never swear at a child. im still disgusted with pete, no matter what you rock'n'roll hooligans think!

I feel bad for the kid. Pretty classless, even for Mr. Townshend.

i know eh. doesnt get much better than packs of crying children. lol. when i saw her, was more like a big, fun, 3hr, lgbt dance party with lots of lights, costumes and props. but the crying children thing sounds fun too.

i know eh :content: she has cancelled several shows because of a severe form of joint inflammation called synovitis she has been trying to live with for a while now. all that dancing seems to have just gotten the better of her and her doctors told her to take a few days off. regardless of what all you greasy hippies think, she actually puts on a very entertaining show. :dance:

ok, so last friday's storm prevented us from driving in to TO to see my lovely Lady Gaga and we ended up eating the tix. ouch, but hey, its just money. no prob, we will go see her in the hammer this sunday ... ugh ... now that show has been cancelled. lordy lordy, I just wants me some gaga! ps, dont nobody get in my way today, im a fierce bitch. grrrrrrr.

thnx kev

the postal code is just that, a coded algorithm that contains specific sorts of information. they code province, telephone area code, rural versus urban, and well as certain geographic/census designations. i use them on occasion in my work, mostly as built-ins to geo-spacial analysis programs. i can see canada post's point here. they are not just a random assortment of characters. they denote a very specific code that canada post developed.

i dare them to do that tour. exhausting. epic.

thats pretty cool.

i heard they were playing the moon on july 4, so this list is totally unrealistic.

my two current guilty pleasures:

was a lot of fun. great to see so many friends. nice way to start off the year!

sure, but then ya'd have to go to syracuse

odd that yours were cracked, phorbesie. ive had a couple for years and they remain in perfect condition. re: flattening ... yes, the idea is to gently place weight onto the print to allow it to eventually flatten on its own. never force, backroll, bend or crease the print. treat it like your first lover. gentle, gradual and clean are key. if it has been rolled for a while, WASH YOUR HANDS AND DRY THEM, carefully remove it from the tube ... in an extreme case, this may require gently sticking your clean hand inside, applying friction on the print and shifting/moving the inner layer of the print a bit tighter inside the tube to relieve the outer tension inside the tube. if you can move the inner edge an inch, that will be enough. once removed, gently lay it curl up, (face up, assuming the print was rolled properly) onto a large clean, flat surface. gently spread it from the center out and place something clean, like a couple of books or glasses with marbles in them near the center. i use eight, heavy tumbler glasses. (nothing sharp or cornered should be used as weight.) the edges will want to stay rolled, that's fine. gradually, move the weights to the edges so it lays flat. this could take a minute or an hour or more depending on how heavy the print stock is. don't try to place the weights immediately at the corners, this could damage things as you would really need four hands to do it carefully. you may need to forfeit your table for a day. but you will not necessarily need to flatten the print all the way. you will just need to flatten it enough so it doesn't violently curl up when you go to slide it into the mylar sleeves in the portfolio. simply storing them in there will eventually flatten them. the table/books/glasses technique is intended primarily to get them flat enough to then carefully get them into flat storage.

Itoya Art Portfolio, up to 18" x 24", acid-free mylar sleeves and paper liners, hard plastic outer cover, easy room for up to 50 prints. around $50. Dunno where you are, but they are very common in most art supply stores. For prints larger than that, your options are limited and/or price skyrockets, but the most economical approach is a large sheet of acid-free matt board, scored and folded to sleeve prints (you can stack prints back to back as long as the stock is acid-free, otherwsie you'd need liner sheets), inside any hard case (I use Mezzi aluminum cases, approx 28" x 40", but I don't think they are avaibale any more and they are very pricey.) NEVER store a print rolled if you can avoid it.

the cool place on the floor's totally gonna be at the back. drinks, not too loud. no sense in going up front. its gonna be way too loud, almost painfully so, up front. and stinky. i'll sacrifice myself and head on up close, giving you all more room at the back, which is you know, the place to be. so, really eh, no need for anyone to go up front. i'll be good up there. you know, dancin'. my nipples are starting to get excited. peaceful week everyone, rest up and be prepared to show trey that TO can party.
