blather_red_book_updates jane hey there red skites - just so you know, i have scanned in pages of the_blather_red_book today. i'll have to do a ton of photo editing, and as i've mentioned before, i am thinking of moving the book to a site that is more congruent with this project. so - more updates soon! 100519 ... cr0wl thanks jane...any chance you can give us a verbal preview of what we'll be seeing soon? i think the book has been to australia, europe, and across america since you've had it last... 100519 ... jane whoooo well there is a lot. and there were some interesting scanning decisions to make! flux stapled some stuff in there, layered, with writing on the back - so i tried to get both sides of everything but it proved difficult. same with cocoon's paperclipped pieces. lots of clippings and inks! i'm not sure which pages are tessa's, i feel badly about that. and the book still smells like cloves. mmm. 100519 ... j i think i figured out which pages are tessa's :) 100519 ... cloves must be the red fragrance... 100519 ... jane testing out tumblr: http://theblatherredbook.tumblr.com/ it's a pain in the ass. any suggestions for photoblog/sharing that are more user-friendly are appreciated. this will always be a work in progress.. 100519 ... unhinged (cloves just must be a blather fragrance... reminds me of when i met mahayana on the eastside of milwaukee all those years ago) 100520 ... jane okay, well tumblr is a pain in the ass, like i said, so in the meantime you may see everything that is so far in the book uploaded here.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/50350144@N02/4623094761/in/set-72157624099175776/ 100520 ... rt THANK YOU JANE! nice work. beautiful recent contributions from tessa, cocoon, flux, and birdmad...all of us together...we have made quite a book. who is next? i suppose we should give IGG a heads up shout out? followed by now_now and then eating_stars? 100520 ... . native_persimmon passed since she's out of the country... 100520 ... jane does anyone have contact info for IGG? 100524 ... jane in the meantime, now_now lives a few blocks away from me (for the next few weeks at least) - maybe i can get her to contribute before i send it on, and before she moves... that is, if she is still interested. hopefully everyone will be okay with that, and then i will scan hers in and send it out to IGG...? 100524 ... rt i think if IGG was still reading here she would have responded. your plan to contact now_now since she is local sounds good. perhaps by then we can try to find the insecure goth girl. she's floating somewhere in th u.k. redtree_innerviews_insecure_goth_girl H....e....l.....l....o.......? 100525 ... now_now Wow. Can't wait to get the book (ahem... I mean the super secret project...*cough*) and seeing jane before I pick up and move a few states away is pretty glorious, too. Now I just have to figure out what to put in it! 100608 ... jane i hate to do it, but i'm thinking about making a time limit on it - for 3-6 months or so - i figure that's enough time , and if someone finishes earlier, awesome, but that way it will keep the ball rolling. i don't want to be called a nazi by any means though, so if anybody has any input or feelings about a time limit, let me know. 100608 ... now_now I most definitely will not have it for that long. I'm planning on using the excitement of the move and coasting on that creative rush through my pages. No worries. thanks janey_jane. And if I do have it for longer, you'll just have to come up to Olympia and pry it out of my deathgrip. 100608 ... n_n i have to admit that i have been scared to get the book; afraid that, once in my hands, my mind will draw nothing but endless blanks. but seeing the photos jane uploaded left me so completely inspired that i cannot wait to read it, to see it and to leave a part of myself in its pages. the blather_red_book will move north with me, tucked safely under my arm. it will have a place of honor in my new leafy, green home until it finds its way safely back to jane. 100608 ... jane update! now_now now has the book and has traded me some illegal cloves :) and taken the_blather_red_book northbound. enjoy...! 100611 ... eatingstars it's nearly my turn? i've missed this red world. 100708 ... current list: thorn - done crOwl - done jane - done flux - done tessa - done cocoon - done birdmad - done now_now - has! eatingstars suicidalchinadoll 100709 ... or thorn - done crOwl - done jane - done flux - done tessa - done cocoon - done birdmad - done now_now - has! native_persimmon eatingstars suicidalchinadoll 100709 ... jane here is the link for the book (so far uploaded) again: http://www.flickr.com/photos/blatherredbook/4623094761/in/set-72157624099175776/ 100709 ... j and if you want to add yourself to the list - PLEASE DO! 100709 ... IGG hey guys, i know i am only here every now and again and therefore i don't think i qualify for writing in the red_book. the book is looking AMAZING. however, as i know the blather_blue_book got lost in transit some years ago, i am thinking of starting another one up, but am worried someone will walk off with it again. blather blue is my homepage and has been for nearly 7 years, so i think it would be better if i made one for there.... sorry to have been only a sporadic visitor, with the year i have had (finishing uni, struggling to get a job, working occasionally and trying to pay bills with no wage), i have been an absentee of here and of the blue. i do apologise for slowing the process down and i would love to be part of this book, however i feel it should be more for the true people of the red, the devotees. if any of you would like to participate in a blue book, let me know as i am excited by the prospect of starting one off and letting it go into the wide world, to be added to with inspirational words, pictures and pieces by the skites. peace :) 101007 ... Bespeckled IGG, if blather blue OR red has been your homepage for seven years, I'd say you're pretty deserving of being a participant in the blather red book. My heart is so freaking warmed that this is STILL on people's minds, and jane, you're an angel for undertaking this project! I've been a blatherskite since I was - what - 16 or 17 at least. And now I'm 25. We're all in a long-term relationship with each other and I hope it stays that way forever. 101008 ... cr0wl i agree. i think IGG has been a long time member of red and she should be given her place back as next recipient. she could email her address to now_now... (as participant of the project, i encourage every red skite to sign up. it is a beautiful work of international collaboration.) 101008 ... jane i'll contact now_now and see where she is - i would love to do some more scanning before sending it on - and while i appreciate your humility, IGG - i would really love it if you would participate. and i would also love to be a part of a blue book. :) this year marked my 10 year blatherversary - and i don't even remember when i found red - but it was magical. blather_is_blather - and blather_family is all-encompassing. please share your creativity with us, IGG. it would mean a lot to all of us. 101009 ... IGG wow guys that's lovely, thanks for the kind words! i would love to be part of the book and i appreciate the invite. do i email my address to now_now? i like this long term relationship we all have going on. i feel like sometimes it is like seeing old friends you haven't seen in months or years, but you know that whenever you meet up it is still exactly the same in terms of cameraderie, but everyone has more stories to share. thanks again guys, let me know who to email and it's done! also i think i am going to sort out a blue blather book so i will be creating a page on the blue, add your names if you fancy it! it will be probably a few weeks at least before it is ready to send as i hope to make the first entry and put photos up. peace skites :) 101010 ... IGG brand_new_blather_blue_book http://blather.newdream.net/b/brand_new_blather_blue_book.html if you fancy a turn on the blue, here is the page for the new book. 101010 ... jane IGG - you can email me - i think now_now will be sending it back to me to scan. 101011 ... j (my email is here: send_jane_a_postcard___guessing_game ) 101011 ... IGG sent! i am excited :) 101012 ... np where is it? 120906 ... PeeT although i have had the privilege to add to the book and send it on, i do not know its present whereabouts. perhaps jane does? 120907 ... jane nobody would tell me who was next.. so. i still have it. 120910 ... Scarlet Photos Do you _still_ have it, Jane? Can it continue on? 230104 what's it to you? who go blather from
