Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] bovil's Anticipation Flickr set, because I'm too lazy to figure out how to do it properly. There are lots of great photos in the set, so check it out. I particularly like the one of [livejournal.com profile] spikeiowa and [livejournal.com profile] jamesb -- the last picture on the second page.

Anyway, here's one of me and Sharee from the Saturday night party in the Evening Fanzine Lounge (with [livejournal.com profile] daveon in the background):



This one I call The Ecstasy of Mimeo: Sharee communing with the Gestetner in the Daytime Fanzine Lounge.



Sharee and [livejournal.com profile] asfi convinced 31 people to apply stylus or typewriter to stencil, and then they ran off 120 copies of the resulting zine on Fibertone. No Idea #1 was the hit of the Evening Fanzine Lounge that night, and one of the wonders of the convention -- an instant collector's classic.

There's something about a woman who gets off on mimeo ...

Those are both great shots. I'm off to look at the entire set now.

Well worth it. His portraits often have a very intimate feel about them, as in the shot with Sharee and the mimeo.

Thanks for the pix and the link. Yes, it's a fabulous set.

I haven't had a chance to ask Steve Green, who came up with the title, whether No Idea was a play on Idea.

Steve Green offered to hand-letter the title and asked me what it was, and I replied with something like, "I've got no idea, what do *you* think we should call it?" And he ran with "No Idea" and thus history was made....

She's so unselfconsciously beautiful in the shot with the Gestetner and I'm glad I managed to snaffle a copy of No Idea, as well as contributing.

I'd love to play further with the stencils, they bring out my desire to etch.

I saw a picture somewhere of Steve Green playing with a shading plate, which might have been a fun thing for the artists to play with.

Speaking of which: nag, nag!

Send me copy and a deadline.
Or request a specific cover.

I so totally agree with Frostfox's first sentence. An amazingly lovely photo!

What the hell was I doing...?

Don't answer, it was rhetorical :)

Looking for beer?

I contributed but unfortunately wasn't around to get a copy. It was interesting to find out that corflu in Canada is pink!

I believe Sharee still has a few copies, so maybe she can mail you one in Oz. Do you have her e-mail address? Or she's on Facebook too.

Thanks for letting me know there were extra copies. I don't have her email address but I'll try to get her on FB.

But I've got huge bags hanging under my eyes! Could have packed all my clothes and stuff into those bags and left my luggage behind.

Nice pictures; the two of you look great.
(Yep, I'm slowly catching up, so don't expect any comments of import. Like you would.)

Not bad for a couple of old duffers. And you've sent beer of import, so that's okay.
