NaPM 2016

[ellajam]

NaPM's the reason why nobody's posting anymore... 

I've been reading plenty of posts and some new poems, what do you mean?

I thought there was a drop off in the activity...or it may have just been the Easter holidays.
I wonder if ray's going to suddenly make an appearance for NaPM

I doubt it, here's a piece of my one and only recent communication with him about a month ago, I thought it best not to bother him again, I'm saving it up for when he returns.

The website jordanbelson.org is still quite a few months from making its appearance, and considering the cataloging, scanning, film restoration (not to mention his letters and papers), this project is going to take quite a while. But hopefully in a year or so I'll be back it PigPen enjoying your fine company.

Since Jordan was a major founder of U.S. experimental film movement and quite "famous" in the minds of a in a tiny circle of art critics and historians, we've gotten grants for the restoration, and another foundation is donating the time and materials to do all the high resolution scans. All in all, quite a project, but one we think Jordan deserves.

Anyway, I do miss you guys; but I must be strict with myself, as pigpen is such a temptation. I actually changed my password to one of those really long computer-generated ones that I couldn't possibly remember. I put it in an envelope, sealed the envelope, and wrote on the outside: "Work on Jordan's Website!!! I got it out to leave you this message, then I'm putting it right back in. If you need to communicate with me in the future, just email me at ray@wordbiscuit.com
This will help me to avoid further temptation.
