Not necessarily a letter to Meathaus but certainly Meathaus-interest-related, check out this video of this gigantic envelope that arrived at my door from Casey Farnum, friend of Meathaus, and a man who will cross state lines for a laser/fog-machine party. It included buttons from the Rocksteady Yeti sets he co-DJs, important headlines from the NY Post, some jamz on CDz, adorable puppy stickers with metallic borders, original drawings and this OUT OF PRINT zine that accompanied an art show that recently was up at the Booklyn Art Gallery with work by Casey, Dina Kelberman, Jason Roy and Mike Taylor. Also above is a shot of multi-zines from Booklyn’s flickr gallery where you can see shots of the show, and lasers.

Haha! Michaela Zacchilli sent over the latest issue of RAV (#5) which reminded me that it was the last issue‘s exciting multi-colored Risograph-printed design and drawing that prompted me to search out and deposit two broken down digital duplicator machines in my basement. They don’t really work, but I did get a good story out of buying one of them from this gas station manager who lived out near a nuclear power plant and brandished a butcher knife for two minutes while explaining the features to my dad and me before I placed the cash on the bed like some kind of dirty deal and we struggled down the stairs with a 300 pound machine from 1992. One wrong move and my dad was a pancake on some filthy cat shit stained stairs under a broken zine machine. We didn’t die so it was totally worth it. Thanks Mickey for the inspiration and the latest issue of RAV.

Josh Bauman sent Meathaus a package with two books and this letter:

“Meathaus, I’ve gathered together two of my recent publications as a humble offering of thanks for all of the excellent work I’ve been introduced through your blog.

Thanks again for sharing such a range of talent. The inspiration it has provided cannot be put into words.

Caffeinated Toothpaste: Volume 1 is the print compilation from the first year of my daily diary comic. The 24-hour comic is, well, a 24-hour comic.

Enjoy, Josh Bauman”

Thanks for the books and the letter, Josh. Josh is, according to his book, an American cartoonist living in Berlin and you can see the diary comics happen here live.
