HOLY CRAP, it looks SO NICE!!! Congratulations Julia!!!
October 3rd, 2007 at 10:48 pm
Hooray and Congratulations!

thanks! I really like how it turned out very simple, like it was printed on a grocery bag. but I mean that as a compliment, as in it’s not glossy and gross, and has a solid DIY feeling, which it obviously was. I owe the Atomic Book folk many thanks, they did a great job & were fucking fantastic about putting up with my slacking off.

Is there a user guide to Julia available ?
I’m going to try and make SFX to buy a copy of da lovely book, and if I am going to donate Whiskey to the cause I’d like to get her something she likes
October 4th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
congrats on your first book julia.
October 4th, 2007 at 5:05 pm
I want to order one, but i want you to write filthy things inside of it for me, to me.
So should i ordr it through the store, and you just look for my name? Or do you want me to just send you the money directly? email me.
October 4th, 2007 at 5:58 pm
I’m fond of Makers Mark, Bulleit and Knob Creek. I am, however, not fond of smiley faces. But if you show up with booze, I’ll let it slide.
josh- I’ll be there on both days
jeff- I just sent you an email. But strangers please take note: I know Jeff in real life, so if you want me to doodle in your copy of the book, you’ll have to get it at SPX.
October 4th, 2007 at 6:07 pm
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Where should I send my check? You owe me a doodle or two for flaking on Dolores Park this summer…heh-heh-heh. Email me. lg213 AT yahoo DOT com

October 4th, 2007 at 9:27 pm
So happy, so proud, so damn anxious to get mine! Do your magic and get those yahoos to send it post haste…as it were.
Wish I could be there to give you a huge bottle o’ booze, but I guess I’ll hafta drink it without you. I’ll tell you all about it.
Congrats, J.

dear julia, I bought one of your t-shirts last spring. it was a bit complicated, because i haven’t got a creditcard and so pay pal didn’t work. in the end i sent you the money in an envelope and you sent me the shirt and ebvrything wrked out just fine.
can we try the same thing fior your book again? i still haven’t got a credit card.
my email still is strangefruit “at” aon.at.

so i bought the whiskey (jack daniels), wrapped it up, wrote your address on it, went to the post office. lady asks me: “is that alcohol?” - “yes, it is.” - “you can’t mail alcohol to the america. it’s against the law. it’s regarded as corrupting the state. take this with you and drink it yourself.”
cheers!
slightly drunk, martin
