Subject: [Baren 2395] A quick note ... 

Let's see ... do I remember the proper address for sending a post to
[Baren]?  It's been so long ...

Sorry to ignore everybody this week, and I see some questions that need
answering, but they will have to wait a bit.  It's been an insane week
of printing and interviews, sometimes both at the same time. 
Newspapers, magazines, TV ...

After a very slow start to the P/R stuff, it has now exploded, and it
looks like the exhibition may really be quite well attended after all. 
Whether or not that will result in many orders is something else again,
but we'll just have to wait and see.

I had sort of had the impression that the filming on the documentary
program was pretty much wrapped up, but I was wrong.  They are now
really 'digging in'.  They have even rented one of the other apartments
in this same building to use as a temporary studio and work space. 
Occasionally as I am working, I hear the front door opening gently, and
in they come ...  Nobody speaks; I pretend that they are invisible, and
just go about my work.  The producer sometimes prompts me with a quiet
question about something, and I talk and explain what I am doing ...
speaking to nobody in particular.  It's hard to calculate, but I would
have to guess that they now have well over a hundred hours of tape in
the can - all for a one hour program.

I'm going to be a lot more nervous watching it next year, than I've been
while we are making it!

***

But the real reason I wanted to send a post this evening ...

My girls came in from Vancouver this afternoon, and the printing of the
last colour of the last print in the series is set to start at 1:00
tomorrow afternoon.

It seems hard to believe that I'm here at last ...

Well, Dave, you know that we are all happy and excited for you, don't
you? It is almost as good as being there, getting to hear about the
filming and the publicity and everything.

How wonderful that your girls are there with you at this time, too.
They must be really proud of their Dad.

It would be really great if the Public Broadcasting stations in this
country would pick up the program (and dub it with English for us non-
Japanese speakers) and show it over here too. 

Good luck & best wishes for lots of orders!

I know we discussed this a while back........Did anything come out of the
discussion ?
 Are we going to create some extra sets just in case we want to
put them on "hold"  or for display somewhere later ?

Subject: [Baren 2398] re: number of prints for exchange, part 2 

I meant to add.......

How about one extra set to stay here in the states and one set to go to
Japan. Perhaps James & Dave can hold onto these for future
considerations.........public showings, etc.

By the way...... Where is Daniel ????? Has he dropped out from the group ?
Or are you lurking ?

Julio
This idea was rejected.  I see no reason to rehast everything now but I for
one am against it and I believe most of the others were.  If I am in error
they can speak for themselves but it is not an idea I would support.

Cheers

I have uploaded the first state of my un-numbered edition exchange print to
my website at
http://users.lanminds.com/~jeaneger/words.gif
The title, "Using Their Words," refers to the concept of using words
instead of fists, to resolve disputes.
Your helpful suggestions are welcomed.
