Send No Money Now

Okay, how about this.
Bill if you are okay with this, you could be the treasurer of this fund. For now, members can pledge to chip in here.

Black Swan will arrange printing and in due course will post here with details.

Okay, did I pledge already? I can go $10 (cheapskate huh?) :o

Hi,
I'll be the fundmaster, if it is easiest. Then I'll send it to Black Swan. Does this work? It seems easier to send it to her, but I'm in for whatever works.

Best,

Bill

Hi,
I don't mind collecting the money, but it would be easier to just paypal Black Swan directly. She has paypal. If I take it and then send it to her, Paypal gets their cut twice. Paypal is owned by ebay. I do not like the folks at ebay and would rather they not be paid twice!

To make it easy, we have the following pledges:

bospress $20
mjp $20
Ponder $20
Bukfan $20
Hank Solo $10
Father Luke $20

That is $110, which should cover it. Maybe we should just have Black Swan PM you for your e-mail addresses and she can send you her paypal id so that the money goes straight to her. Again, if there is a problem with her accepting paypal for any rerason, I'll gladly do it! Anyone that wants to send me the money, I can paypal her. This is especially true if youdo not have Paypal and are not in Canada, as that keeps you from having to get your money changed into Canadian Dollars....

This community always amazes me!

Seems like there's a new UK edition of Sounes Buk bio. Like Black Swan, they also chose the Hank/Georgia photo:

I hope that they got the rights from both copyright holders (Alberts and Levine) on that photo before using it on the cover....

[Black Swan]

Guys! the cards are in the mail!

The postcards look great and have all been mailed!

 

[hoochmonkey9]

[hank solo]

Fantastic. I love to receive 'special prizes' in the mail!!! :D

[Bukfan]

That's just great! Can wait to see them!

 

[hoochmonkey9]

got mine today.
they look fantastic.
thanks again.

 

[bospress.net]

Can you take a photo? Hopefully mine show up today!

Best
Bill

 

[Bukfan]

I got mine today too! They're beautiful! The colors are very clear and bright. It's a good result. On the back it says: Oil on canvas - Desforges 2008 and Funded with the support of the bukowski.net members - and the title of course: Georgia Peckham and Charles Bukowski...

Canada to Denmark is faster than Canada to Delware!

That goes to show you that we have secured our borders!

Bill

 

[Bukfan]

LOL - Yes, indeed! Maybe a little bit too effectively...:D

 

[bospress.net]

trust me. The gubment is more afraid of anti-admistration and anti-war stuff coming in than it is of illegal immigrants (just ask the former Cat Stevens). Even though they pretend that they want to secure the border, what they really want to do is find an easy group of people to make as the problem.... Illegal immigrants (or really undocumented workers) are the easy target.

That being said, I want to see these beautiful postcards!

Bill

 

[Bukfan]

Here you go, Bill...

 

[bospress.net]

WOW! Thanks!
